Those are definitely not inversions. An 3 note triad inversion is simply formed by changing the root (bottom note) of the chord. For example, a C chord triad is CEG, the first inversion is EGC, and the second inversion is GCE. It is no more complicated than that.

Yes that’s what I thought, so it sounds like it’s more the melodic inversion mentioned on wikipedia

A melody is inverted by flipping it "upside-down", reversing the melody's contour. For instance, if the original melody has a rising major third, then the inverted melody has a falling major third (or, especially in tonal music, perhaps a falling minor third).

Maybe chords are a bad test for this, I will run some lead lines through it tomorrow,

Interesting.
Glad you mentioned it.
Please give us a review even a very brief one if you have the time.
My music theory knowledge doesn't extend to how to build inversions, maybe someone on here can help? I thought it should only include the notes you input, but arranged in a different order on the keyboard, but I had some (mainly) C major scale chords input and it converted as below with different Global Algorithm preset values:-

from

C / Em / C / Am / Bm / F / G / F

to
[MEL INVERT]
Cmaj9 / Em7 / C(no 5) / C6 add(m2) / Bm / F / G / F add(m3)
[RANDOM]
Cmaj9 / G6 / C(no 5) / A add(m3) / Bm / F / G / F add(m3)
[EVOLVER]
C / C7 add(7) / Cm add(b5) / A (no 5th) / Fdim7(b9) / F / G / F

Have no idea if that's right or not, but it was good enough to use as an arp over a pad from the original chords after I added a Scales and Keys to divert it all into C major again.
There does appear to be some randomisation the way it converted the same chords input into different chords output.

Will play around with it a bit more over the weekend to see if it's worth picking up.

Thanks you and all commenting on your post.
My interest is with my limited chord knowledge if it is simple enough so that I can manage to make the output interesting and musical.

I already have that, but bought it before they added the melodic inverter to the suite. It’s really good value now.

I looked for other such great deals on bundled Players but no such luck.
But
On BF it may all change.

For those who haven't tried... chord potion or scaler > phrasebox is a ton of fun. You could even put a random single note generator in front of chord potion for a hands-off approach. I do wish there was a way to automate pattern changes with Phrasebox tho. That device has a ton of potential which hasn't yet been realized.

I missed buying some Reason Rack Players.
Went to buy today and most of the sales were gone.

Did Reason have a Charismas sale last year?

I have the Free Reason Rack lite but will consider Reason Intro if it is on sale for $50.

Nice.
I will wait for a major discount sale.
Why not email them to give an intro price to the members of this thread.

I’m a lousy haggler. Will wait for a sale or just pick it up with the next version of suite if the upgrade is reasonable
