But there _is_ a melody :) or am I trying to listen too focused again? :) My last attempt to use a CD/DVD ended up with a failsafe triggered on the power supply unit on my PC, probably because the drive died some time ago. I have to find a drive someday because there are so many nice things I have on a CD only, even if all of them are now well forgotten, and even if they're available at most streaming services.
You are indeed correct and I'm glad you pointed that out. I missed it myself when I wrote that. Basically what you're hearing is a step sequencer so it is technically a melody but to me I treat that part as a percussion sound. The melody I was going to write for this would be longer notes arranged in a more traditional way.
You can buy a CD player fairly easily, like a discman, and run the 1/8" output into something. Hope you get to listen to the discs again soon.
