Add to the original melody using the original melody is what I would experiment with.Katelyn wrote: In reference to my OP post, how can I make a better melody than the one that the picture and soundbite above represent (keeping in mind that I'm doing something kind of like psytrance)? And when looking at sheet music and seeing the notes as consisting of combinations of flatline, rises, falls, and wavey patterns useful or potentially limiting?
First find out if the original melody is to known scale, then go from there.
This video just shows a single arp setting and chord trigger setting, but it's a starting point to get ideas.
