Notes node
Field Notes
A note node whose body is a Field script. It runs per sample against the transport beat, and note(pitch, vel, len) inside an if sends a note out. tick(div) fires on each beat division, deg(d) is a scale degree under Root and Scale, and rand() is 0 to 1.
What it does
Field Notes is a note node: it makes, filters or changes notes before a synth plays them. It takes notes in and gives notes out.
Try it
Fire a random scale degree on every eighth note and send it to a synth.
