Setting Up Instachord & Melodic Flow | MIDI FX Differences | FL Studio 20 For Mac

[@j0shcyrus]

Apologies lol you're right, I did notice a few minutes after typing that question lol always appreciate the time you take to do these videos for everyone, learnt a lot from you, thank you

[@ChaceBonanno]

Was gonna get a KordBot and sell my midi but I think Ima try these plugins and keep my keyboard for now

[@smauricelilly]

MG you are the work flow professor. You have given the cheat code for music theory tools. Thank you sir.

[@Weaverbeats]

good stuff

[@morgen8250]

That's a keeper. BTW, Gratz on 15K 🏆

[@lviklund]

Thx again. Very useful info as usual.

[@RoneySmithseedoflife]

Thanks for this video! I now believe that the funny glitch that most of us have had is that we think of one app and instantly want the other app to do the same thing instead when they approach music from opposite end zones lol 😂 The name of each app tells us what it is best used for but we never read the manuals so why would we pay attention to the meanings of the names lol 😂 You said it near the end and it will hopefully not take the rest of the year to get it lol:) I admit that I have not bought Melodic Flow for this reason as I was thinking that it duplicated Scaler, Instachord, and even Strum to some degree which it never has and never will lol 😂 The next fight in an empty room is what are the differences between Instachord and Instascale lol 😂 I bought Instascale on pure sucker appeal due to loving Scaler but I don’t think that I’ve fired it up yet lol 😂😂🤯🤯💯👏🏾♥️🏆🤷🏾‍♂️

[@vilanovaproductionllc4325]

Up until watching this video I forgot that I had instasxale installed 😂

[@RoneySmithseedoflife]

VilaNova Production LLC I believe you because it is so easy to do! The new game going forward because of this video is that we now know when it is going to come in handy for the perfect time! 🎉👌🏾👏🏾🏆💯

MG THE G.O.A.T 🐐🐐🐐

[@GameWise214]

Been using Melodic Flow for a few years now.👍🏽

[@xv2flawlessx]

I did exactly as you said for fl studio and I'm getting nothing. I'm running fl studio 20. Did all steps hear nothing can you help ?

[@drk_fi]

Thanks, MG! This video sold me on melodic flow 💯% however, I have a small request... Would you be able to do a comparison video on the Captain bundle and Sun Dog song studio inside studio one 4 please? I've been on the fence about the two for a while but would love to see the difference in workflow with the new workflow in Studio One 🐺🌕⚡️

[@MGTheFuture]

Sundog is partially standalone, more like odesi. The key difference there, is the amount of scales. I think all of them do bass, chords, melody lines tho. Sundog lets you drag and trace the notes in while staying in key. I haven’t used odesi yet. In terms of Captain, until you can edit the midi...you can’t compare them just yet

[@MrEBRAD777]

This video makes perfect sense MG but what I can't understand is difference between Scaler and insta chord. They serve the the samew purpose in my mind.

[@MGTheFuture]

How so?

[@MrEBRAD777]

Minus the strumming feature which Scaler is incorporating in the next update they're both Chord generators. However, you do have more expression with those chords with Instachord. But they seem similar. I have Scaler but not insta

[@MGTheFuture]

Ah..scaler will analyze data and input...which makes it more utility. Also gives you more options for substituions and inversions. Scaler will allow you to make progressions from scale. Instachord...relies on simple shapes..but requires you to pre meditate the progression.

[@MrEBRAD777]

I see your perspective but you can put it into Bind mode and play the progression in Scaler as well similar to Insta.

[@MGTheFuture]

Yeah, it just doesnt adjust to the chord changes.

[@BlazeONEANdChill]

How do you do this in studio one? Your help will be greatly appreciated

[@MGTheFuture]

Check out some others I did...I've showed it

[@BlazeONEANdChill]

@@MGTheFuture Yeah I figured it out, I was in the damn wrong octave on my 25key. Thanks though man

[@Bassmentnoize]

Can you do this for melodic flow of n reason not everyone uses fl studio

[@MGTheFuture]

Hey Brian, thats the thing, it doesn't work in Reason. Reason has an RE called AutoTheory that may be better for this task. I did a 2 hour live video about using it last week.

[@BlackAera]

That Repro 1 patch has mad Hyper Light Drifter vibes

[@pershingpark1222]

Is there a way I can change root notes as it is playing. That would be greatly appreciated. I almost figured out switching the action using akai fire just can't figure if I can switch root notes in voicing

[@MrEsDwa]

Of course you can print the midi from the plugins in FL studio. All you have to do is install free midi tool - like loopBe, or loopMIDI and do some routing. You can even use Ableton Push with FL Studio with PXT-General 3rd party drivers.

[@MGTheFuture]

MrEsDwa that’s why I mentioned a 3rd party freeze tool, which makes it unbearable to use in high frequency (for me). Even more problematic in real time

[@MrEsDwa]

Well, just try it with loopmidi. Nothing to lose :) If i wouldn't be able to print the midi data from scaler, instachord, captain, cthulhu, etc - i'd have probably change the DAW. Printing midi in real time is a pain in the ass, though. PS. GREAT channel. Love your stuff. I had the exact same work flow with melodyne/fl studio as you once had. If it wasn't for you I would never have used EZKeys the way you do, and that is huge.

[@smauricelilly]

@@MGTheFuture #MrEsDwa is this what you mean by print midi? found this interesting video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3fZaKqdd89kd7s Also MG have you tried Orangetree guitar libraries? Dope realistic sound. I would say wait till the summer group buy to save 60%.

[@MrEsDwa]

Yes, that's exactly what we mean. Plus here's another tutorial on that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3XVc6VnptprhJo Orangetree libraries are great. Also check out Ample Sound -> www.amplesound.net/en/index.asp

[@SinisterOnThaTrack]

How do you render to wave file with melodic flow? When I record my audio file is blank.

[@MGTheFuture]

My daw bounces from the instrument track

[@SinisterOnThaTrack]

MG The Future Figured out you can mute all other tracks then render the master and that works too

[@francissreckofabian01]

I know what you mean.Which software do you get??? I now have the means to get Autotune and/or Melodyne but I don't know what the differences are. Are they complementary or too similar. I'm always looking for a video to explain it. No luck so far.

[@MGTheFuture]

Melodyne generates midi from audio that can be modifed. Autotune is an audio effect that quantizes incoming frequency.

[@retsmej]

if your not a pianist then this tool is a gem.

[@Michael_Lak]

Nice workflow video. Great to see you using melodic flow. Hope you have checked out Sundog song studio by the same developer. Just giving some love to an independent developer.

[@GameWise214]

Cales vst is also good for playing scales. Haven't seen many reviews on it. ITS FREE💪

[@calitendolorenzo9109]

Good shit

[@darxoonwasser]

There are no wrapper settings in fl studio's default vsts

[@MGTheFuture]

Correcto

[@darxoonwasser]

but how am i going to connect instachord with a synth

[@MGTheFuture]

Which?

[@darxoonwasser]

3x osc or gms, i have no 3rd party plugins (except instachord)

[@MGTheFuture]

Thats rough, I never use FL synths. I imagine you can grab some Free VSTs though - especially nowadays

[@vilanovaproductionllc4325]

Do you even use the instascale?

[@MGTheFuture]

If I need to start with a melody

[@tomhoward9811]

MG Cool. Vid. So you are on Studio 1 now? Also. "Budget Your Plugin Folder" So please do a vid on. The 10 to 15 Plugs. You could not do without!!!(We know EZKeys is your #1). I have had Ezkeys since it came out. And years ago. I tripped over. The same way you use it. Yes I have hundreds of plugs. But as a Songwriter not a producer. I tend to have a about 20 ish. That are my go to VST/VSTi. I would ask for 25 but. You would have a very long Vid. Thanks.

[@MGTheFuture]

Nah, I’m on several DAWs. Started some studio one vids months back tho. The plugin vid I did a while back, think I called it top 10 lofi plugins

[@tomhoward9811]

Yea. I have 4 DAW's right now. I will look for that Vid. I am really thinking about Omnisphere 2.5. But when is enough enough? LOL! I always have to remind myself. I do not produce, I write and it is not needed. But I still buy things like Scaler and Instachord. And I really Love those 2 plugs. Thanks again.

[@zuluripper]

FL Studio doesn't record MIDI output? I know Reaper does. Can't vouch for Ableton and Studio One though.

[@MGTheFuture]

Not on its own it seems

[@gregorydemosthenes4434]

Here in 2023, instachord now generates chord n much more

[@francissreckofabian01]

"Black music"??? I prefer Blues.

[@MGTheFuture]

Cool. I prefer black music

[@lok8tmuzik812]

Second!

[@j0shcyrus]

Third :D
