There seems to be more artificial intelligence in this meloDICER than throwing dices. I use it for simple fill-in sequences of a few notes. The main thinking is done by this module, so all I need is quickly fiddle the sliders and knobs, which is a piece of cake of a workflow. It goes beyond what a mathematical bread&butter sequencer does, such as syncopes, hybrid directions, melodic tone adds, octave jumps, ext clock control, pulse width (legato), etc. Yeah it's pricey compared to other sequencers, but I guess that cuz of the creative a.i. Like having an extra musician on board.
