Chapter 11: User Programmable Functions 179
This is normally left at 100%. But if you want to force the Melodist to stick
with the same theme throughout the song, set this to a lower value (say 80%). It
shouldn't be set much lower than 80.
Unusual Placed Phrasing Default =0
The Melodist tries to make phrases that are appropriate for the position in the
song. For example, the first 2 bars of the melody are appropriate for “opening
phrases.” But if you want to experiment with phrases that don't follow these
rules, set the Unusual Placed Phrasing to a value higher than 0% (e.g. 30%).
Simple 1
st
and 2
nd
Endings Default=80%
This setting only applies to Melodists that are using the Jazz Swing (MEL1.ST2)
or Waltz (MELWLZ1.ST2) databases. This determines the % of time that
endings of the A sections (in AABA forms) will be simple endings (1 or 2 notes)
instead of complete phrases. Usually AABA tunes end with simple phrases at
the end of the A section, so this option is normally left at 80% or higher.
Choose Unusual Chord Progressions Default=0
If set to a value other than zero, the Melodist will generate a typical chord
progressions. For example, instead of a Dm7 | G7 | Cmaj7, the Melodist might
generate Dm7 | Db7 | Cmaj7 Am7.
Force Long Phrases Default=20
This determines the % of time that the Melodist will try to generate long phrases
(4 bars or more). The “downside” to setting it higher than 20 will be a loss of
uniqueness in the phrases generated. The setting shouldn't be set much higher
than 20.
Mix Minor and Major Chord Progressions Default=0
Typical 'major key” chord progressions have progressions like (in the key of C)
Dm7 | G7 | Cmaj7, whereas in the key of Am, they would be |Bm7b5| E7 |Am6.
This setting determines how much the two types of progressions should be
mixed in a single song.
Chord Substitutions Throughout the Form Default=0
Normally an AABA song has identical chords for each “a” section. If this
setting is greater than zero, the Melodist will generate chord substitutions
throughout the various “a” sections, while preserving the identical melodies!
Number of Variations to Choose From Default=15
As the Melodist is determining what type of phrase to generate, it will narrow
the possibilities to the number of variations set in this variable. Setting a higher
number results in more interesting melodies, but the chord progressions are
more unusual.
Tempo Range
Default from 110 to 180 bpm
