Dive into evolving melodic systems
Generation Controls
Each macro control influences the musical engine in a focused, non-destructive way.
Rather than editing notes directly, you shape the behavior of the generator over time.
Repeat
Controls motif recurrence and short-term memory.
Low values allow phrases to evolve freely, while higher values reinforce repetition, anchoring the music through recurring motifs and ostinato-like patterns.
Alternate
Introduces structured variation between phrase states using an A/B logic.
As the control increases, the generator alternates more frequently between related melodic variants, creating call-and-response or mirrored gestures.
Shift
Offsets pitch relationships within the active scale.
This produces subtle melodic displacement, phase-like motion, or rotational movement through scale degrees, without breaking harmonic coherence.
Harmony
Expands monophonic material into harmonic structures.
Higher values introduce intervals, extensions, and clustered voicings, increasing harmonic tension and spatial depth.
Density
Controls event frequency and temporal layering.
Low density results in sparse, breathable patterns, while higher density increases subdivisions, fills, and overlapping events within the same time frame.
Chance
Introduces controlled probabilistic deviation from the base pattern.
At low values, behavior remains stable; at higher values, rare notes, timing variations, and unexpected events emerge while preserving musical intent.
