Tempo | |
![]() |
Use this slider to select a tempo. You can choose values between 50 and 200 beats per minute. Top |
Randomization | |
![]() |
UGET uses simple major (ionian) and minor (aeolian) scales to construct melodies. By introducing randomization, you can make the melodies less predictable. This has the effect of introducing sharps and flats into the melodies. Top |
Melody Range | |
![]() |
Use this slider to choose how wide you'd like the melodies to be. If you choose a Perfect 5th, for example, UGET will create melodies which range from a Perfect 5th below a given root note to a Perfect 5th above. Top |
Stretch Down | |
![]() |
When you select the Stretch Down check box, UGET will, when necessary, display notes on the fretboard one fret below the current position on the next string. For example, in 5th position, to move from an A on the 5th fret of the low E string to a C# a major third above, UGET would display the 4th fret of the A string if the Stretch Down check box is selected. Otherwise, it would display the 9th fret of the low E string. Top |
