NOTES
6.6 Phrase
Think of the Phrase function as a melodic engine, a tool that generates
phrases ideal for chord progressions and tonal patterns based on the pitch
menu notes, scale and the range and rate controlled by Range. Phrase
actually utilises one of the 8 selectable shape templates. This then
determines the melodic passage.
