Simon: Don’t click in your melodies and move notes to wait for it to sound right Also Simon: plays random stuff on his keyboard and waits for it to sound right

The difference being he knows the theory behind what he’s playing.

[@Hyper5nic]

You can play randomly as well! If you're not good with finding melodies, use Patcher and a the VFX Key Mapper. You can set it to remap the keys you press to stay within a key or even put in notes from another melody to find variations. ;-) Would be awesome if Simon shows us his take on this nifty feature of FL Studio!
