And we have massive abilities to process it's output in BW anyway. I thought it odd that there were no parameters for such things but just slapped a Note Pitch Shifter behind it/them. Which was actually quicker than having to look up a (albeit non-existent) midi map.

I did actually mean, within Bitwig, human tricks as opposed to "give me give me, I'm an artist, really I am", huh herm, tricks.

hmmm I wonder how would one translate a grammar nzi into the composer's musical context?
note nzi? music theory nzi?
naahhh such a thing doesn't exist :D

Good find! Looking forward to getting it when this is implemented, because I liked the demo (although it has some stupid limitations preventing from checking the more interesting aspects of the device...). Thanks :)

Can't really remember the demo limitations. No drag export was one. Easy enough to 'print' to another track though. The scales are great ('Enigmatic' on a Glockenspiel is well cool). I like it's simplicity and base randomness. It does not try to remotely be a 'write song' button. It really shine on multiple instances with maybe a bit of BW note post-processing. Simple example: 1 instance doing bass with low number of note and low note range doing pentatonic-minor, another instance doing higher up, more notes/wider range, using blues scale. The 2 instances know NOTHING of each other or 'proper' harmony rules and that I VERY much like.

[ :lol: spell checker was going for 'catatonic-minor' ]

For the grammar nazi analogy to work, it would require that the subject of the analogy was involved in the process - otherwise, who am I insulting anyway? :wink:

In demo there are just 4 or 5 scales, no possibility to vary note lengths, tie notes or add rests/pauses. The last three in particular make it hard to judge the "quality" of its generative melodic engine, because without them it just sounds like a quick 16th notes arpeggio and there's abundance of those on the market... I contacted them and see what's the reply.

Far more useful than Riffer (which does nonsense most of the time) is Melody Sauce, which is now available as VST:

I'll probably add it to my arsenal when I have coin.

No demo. Well that's novel.

Reading the manual, it seems a bit too 'clever'. Those 'moods' kind of creep me out. I'm more interested in curating and manipulating more simplistically generated patterns than a 'create catchy song' button. I'll see when I get it.

I like Riffer's very random approach. I decide if something's 'dark' or not.

What scales are in there? I only see major/minor and the advice "should be in the key of the project you're working on". No! :x :lol: We're not all writing advertising jingles for chocolate and tampons here you know.

I'll see if I can find some videos.
