MelodyBud is a generative MIDI sequencer with powerful randomization features.
Set each step's note, velocity, gate length, ratchet, and glide values independently.
Each mode can be randomized per pattern for evolving sequences.
Create unlimited patterns with unlimited steps per pattern.
Enter parameter-locking mode by tapping a step's number on the sequencer.
In parameter-lock mode, set unique randomization values for individual steps.
Steps with parameter locks override global values with their custom settings.
Create complex, rich sequences by assigning individual randomization to each step.
