How does the Random midi effect work?

Post by p8guitar » Sat Jul 22, 2006 1:06 pm

I must admit I don't understand the choice and scale parameters: :(

a) When I set chance to 50%, choice to 4 and scale to 3 and play a C3 note, Random makes these notes: C, D#, F#, A#, C#, E. There are five random notes, and the intervals between the notes are not equal.

b) choices=1 and scale=12 results in the notes C3, C4 and C5. According to the manual, there should only be C3 and C4 in this case, not C5.

c) choices=2, scale=2: C3, D3, E3, F#. Equal intervals, but again there is a random tone to much.

Is the manual faulty, am I missing something, or is this a bug?
