Randomize parameters in a bunch:

Parameters assigned to a bunch can be randomized by pressing 

[A]

 when in CTRAL 

mode. Each randomization will also change the reference value of the encoder.

CTRAL Mode:

This is the mode in which the Goliath starts when switched on. In this mode, turning the 
rotary encoder will send MIDI CC values for the parameters stored in the selected bunch
according to the reference value of the encoder. 

Parameters can be randomized; it is possible to enter 

Multi MIDI Learn

(MML) or  the 

Random Note Generator

 (RNG).

Multi MIDI Learn

©

 (MML):

MIDI CC parameters are stored or removed in Multi MIDI Learn mode. To enter MML 
hold 

[F]

 and press 

[A]

. The LED of the currently selected bunch will flash briefly and 

then turn off indicating the Goliath has entered MML and is waiting for incoming MIDI 
data. Send the desired MIDI CC number to the Goliath from the connected device. The 
LED will blink few times on reception of a new MIDI CC parameter, indicating the MIDI 
CC has been stored. Nothing will happen if the MIDI CC has already been stored, unless
it has a different MIDI channel.
Other MIDI CCs can be assigned using the same procedure. When the maximum 
number of MIDI CCs (16) is reached, the Goliath won't store any more parameters.
To remove a MIDI CC, hold 

[F]

 whilst sending the value of the parameter to be removed 

from the connected device. In  this case the LED will briefly remain lit upon reception of 
the MIDI CC value and then turn off, indicating that the parameter has been removed 
from the bunch.
To exit the Multi MIDI Learn

 

at any time, hold 

[F]

 and press 

[A]

.

Random Notes Generator (RNG):

The Random Notes Generator is a useful tool that can generate random sequences of 
notes. Hold 

[F]

 

and press

 [B]

 to enter the Random Notes Generator (make sure the 

Goliath is in CTRAL mode before entering the RNG).
The LED of the currently selected bunch will turn off indicating the Goliath has entered 
RNG mode.

There are 4 different scale modes that can be selected to generate random notes:
- Random: random notes are chosen within 10 octaves
- Major Scale: random notes are chosen within 1 octave using a major scale sequence 
for the selection
- Minor Scale: random notes are chosen within 1 octave using a minor scale sequence 
for the selection
- Repeat: repeats one single note
