Melodic Paintbox lets you draw your sequences instead of program them. The drawn sequence graphically represents a melody or musical phrase.

This sequencer is not about precise note-by-note sequences, it is about contours and shapes and not-quite-exact repetition. The "grid" model that most sequencers are built on is completely gone from this device.

The device achieves that by running a rhythmic clock against a hand-drawn line. The contour of the melody or sequence is independent of the rhythm, so the rhythm can interact with it freely and in many different ways.

Melodic Paintbox gives you a new way to create rhythms, completely different from how they are usually built (goodbye, grid!), leading to surprising, out-of-the-box rhythmic phrases that are easy to interact with and sculpt.
