New releases this week: All genres

Notes: Really nice approach to sequencing from Omni-Tone. The Melodi generates 'semi-random' patterns based on tunable parameters and probabilities. Dial in combinations of scales, pitch range, tempos and so on to create unique melodies.

Supplier's Notes:
Melodi generates sequences based on the mood you set so you can create the sound you're searching for- it can be tweaked to create anything from a powerful bassline to a sparkly melody.

Ships with version 2 of firmware

Improvements: Skip, tie, length are now LIVE knobs. Added a ping-pong trend line and a blues scale.

GENERATE

1. NEW - will prompt Melodi to generate a new sequence.
2. TRIGGER IN - accepts a trigger to prompt Melodi to generate a new sequence.

CYCLE

1. ON/OFF - determines if the sequence will loop or require retriggering.
2. TRIGGER - button and jack trigger the sequence to restart at the beginning.

TUNE

* While adjusting tunable parameters, the light bar will reflect the current selection. For continuous parameters the light bar shows amount from 0-100%, for quantized parameters the light bar shows steps.
1. SKIP (continuous) - sets the probability that a note will be skipped in a sequence.
2. PLUCK (continuous) - sets the length of the gate, from short plucks to gliding between notes (portamento).
3. TIE (continuous)- sets the probability that a note gets tied to the next (effectively making the note last two clock cycles).
4. TREND (continuous) - sets whether the sequence trends upwards or downwards in pitch.
5. SCALE (quantized) - select the quantization of the notes used in the sequence. Choose from perfect notes, pentatonic scale, diatonic scale, chromatic scale and completely unquantized.
6. RANGE (continuous) - sets the range of notes from 1 to 4 octaves (unquantized)
7. LENGTH (quantized) - select the number of notes to play in a sequence (from 1-16, or infinitely generating at the max position).
8. SPEED (continuous) - sets the tempo of the internal clock, between 20 and 2000 BPM.

OUT
1. GATE - outputs the gate of the notes in the sequence.
2. PITCH - outputs the pitch (in V/OCT) of the sequence.

CLOCK

1. SELECT - Melodi will generate internal clock signal if select switch is up, and will use external clock signal when down
2. IN - connect external clock signal
3. OUT - output clock signal
