Stochastic Scale Sequencer
Generative CV/Gate sequencer with entropy
A melody that never plays the same way twice. Instead of looping a fixed pattern, Stochastic Scale keeps reshaping it: right before every step it rolls the dice and — with the probability you set — changes the note, always staying inside the selected scale. Low Entropy drifts like a hypnotic Berlin School phrase, high Entropy becomes a stream of ever-new notes, zero freezes the pattern.
Features
- GENERATIVE — one press creates a new 32-step pattern: smooth melodic motion, repeated notes, rests, accents on strong beats and occasional octave jumps
- ENTROPY 0–100% — the chance that a step changes its note before it plays; rhythm (rests and accents) stays stable, so the groove never falls apart
- Mutation BIAS — from gentle one-step drift to free jumps anywhere in the melodic range
- 10 scales + Random: Ionian, Dorian, Phrygian, Lydian, Mixolydian, Aeolian, Locrian, minor pentatonic, harmonic minor, Byzantine
- Scale character — the algorithm leans toward each mode's signature note, so every scale sounds like itself
- RANGE 0–36 semitones and live octave shift from the main screen
- Ratcheting — probability knob, up to 8 hits per step, EVEN or FLAM shape; accented steps ratchet more often
- 4 playback directions: forward, reverse, pendulum, random
- 20 preset slots — pattern and settings survive power-off
- Radial Clock display — the whole sequence shown as a clock face on the OLED; the sequencer keeps playing while you browse the menu
- Internal clock 10–300 BPM, CLOCK IN with automatic external sync and adjustable threshold, CLOCK OUT
- Optional Analog Drift and ±50 cent Tune
