Hi Dave,

I know its covering in your great courses, wich i reccomended everyone to buy, but what can i do to make my melodic parts interesting for a longer time?

Gr jur

Hi Jur,

Great to hear you enjoy the courses I released so far

Great question. There many possible answers, but I'll focus on one specifically.


One thing you could try and that will open up your mind to more tricks, is using a combination of programming in a specific scale and using probability.

So if you would program a pattern of notes similar to how an arpeggiator works, using probability can create semi-random melodies.

So let's say you take a 32 step sequence and program a random-ish note sequence, in a specific key, into that using every step. Applying a 50% (or less) probability on that track will create a farly random melody but it will sound great because it will always be in key. This is great for background sequences or for finding random melodies. Apply a delay for more goodness. You could also take a random sequence generated by this and program it as your main melody. You'd only have to train your hearing and audio memory

Another interesting trick to apply here is adding an sQuare wave LFO on TUNE. find the right setting to get shifts of 7 semi tones from the original notes. You'l struck gold sometimes, trust me
