MeloDICER is a generative sequencer with the perfect balance between stochastic and deterministic creation of rhythm and melody.  

The concept is very simple in that you have a slider for each note of the scale and you push the slider up to increase the probability of that note sounding. You can start by setting a note length and then dial in some variation to that, increase the amount of legato and the likelihood of rests between notes. This makes up the rhythm part of the sequencer. And then the melody is governed by these twelve sliders. There are two DICE buttons, one for rhythm and one for melody, which capture a randomly generated pattern and loop it. Turn them off for free flow randomisation and enable them to capture another repeating pattern.

The module’s algorithms generate random values that magically turn into musical events only through your defaults. MeloDICER has a well-thought-out set of control elements that makes it easy for you to conduct rhythm and melody in any wanted direction. It doesn’t matter if you are a music theory genius or if you never heard of triplets, ties, and the like. Just take a look at the module’s surface and start playing with meloDICER. 

MeloDICER continuously generates rhythms and melodies in realtime-mode or repeats them as patterns in dice-mode. Or do you want something in between? No problem. Set the module to play a looped rhythm while the melody randomly changes or vice versa.

Shift start and endpoints of the pattern to get even more variation and complexity.

MeloDICER offers 16 memory spaces for your creations. But instead of saving resulting patterns, it memorizes all random values and control settings that lead to a certain rhythm-melody-combination. Thus you can always alter stored patterns and turn them into something completely new.

MeloDICER features CV and two GATE inputs to modulate and trigger various parameters. Use it to alter certain aspects of your pattern or to expand randomness and chaos with external modules. The stochastic engine ensures that any changes are always valuable and musical.

The internal clock generator works super-stable and tight. You can access all parameters at any time, and meloDICER instantly adapts any adjustment: no delay, no stumble, and no need for stopping the sequencer. Use the module like a musical instrument and create rhythm and melodies that perfectly harmonize with your performance.

Note: This is a used item, and while it is guaranteed to be fully functional it is almost sure to also contain "rack rash" on the mounting holes and have some minor scratches on the panel from use. It will include a ribbon cable, m3 screws, and a box, but not the original box.
