The Secret to Generating ENDLESS MELODIES

The secret to generating and endless variety of melodies is easier than you think it is! In today's video I'm going to show you how to use LFO and sampler to generate interesing melodies that follow along with your main drum groove. This works especially well if you're feeling uninspired ;) Grab the project file here: bit.ly/3XXI8r0

Cool Technique - will implement in another DAW thanks :)

[@rasmusinterstellar]

Wouw, thank you very much for this useful tip :)

[@lotustunesacademy]

You're welcome!

[@mttlsa686]

I believe that the complex pro mode is more suitable for vocals because it has a formant parameter that make some issues with the timbre of instrumental samples even if it's in default position. Complex mode preserves the original sound in a more clean way when working with instrumental samples imho. You can clearly notice it at 9:50 with the flute sample, when you switch to complex pro mode it becomes kinda "metallic" and it creates a "breathy" sound artifact. while the complex mode makes it more organic and real. Btw, good video buddy.

[@GenocidePanda]

this is technically the process of sample and hold in modular! beautiful

[@lotustunesacademy]

Thanks for commenting 🙏🏽

can you explain more ?

hey, great video. do you have a video where you build your favourites up ?

[@EZtones]

One more Golden video Kevin ;-)

[@lotustunesacademy]

Thanks my friend ;)

[@frankiewylde7649]

this is super cool, I often forget that you can get ableton to create inspiration for you. silly me. thank you for the reminder haha

[@lotustunesacademy]

You're welcome! Thanks for commenting. Glad you enjoyed.

I don’t use Ableton, I’m on Logic. But this is great. Thanks!

Thanks man, great tutorial! Just switched from FL to Ableton, stuff like this is amazing compared to FL!

[@lotustunesacademy]

Nice, glad to hear that!

[@33samogo]

Subscribed, liked👌 workflow of creating music will change dramatically with AI, this approach is close to that direction of building with blocks rather than notes

[@lotustunesacademy]

True. Let the DAW work for you 😉

[@fernandoviva268]

I love it++++

[@lotustunesacademy]

Thanks!

[@ExaurorK]

great job dude. I need a sample library. Can you suggest me a new sample website ?

[@lotustunesacademy]

Thanks mate. You can checkout my sounds at lotustunes.com. Also have a new pack coming out tomorrow

[@Scottygthreethousand]

Can I say, I even like your workflow! Did you self learn everything or have you taken courses?

[@adrian280861]

That's G R E A T

[@lotustunesacademy]

Thanks!

[@apricotdog]

I don't use Ableton, but I'm curious to see if I can replicate this in my DAW.

[@Shane-zo4mg]

Why would you use a single chord pad for this? The start position doesn't change the melody like your title suggests. The way you set up the lfo makes the pad loop the same way every trigger.

[@lotustunesacademy]

Thanks for the comment. The chord sound is not static. There’s movement within the sound that can be heard while automating the start position of the sample with the logo. It’s minor but it’s there and adds up if you consider adding more movement to your individual tracks. I did this to show that you can turn a chord pad into a plucky arpeggio type melody. Cheers.

[@rayruiz6702]

How is it that the melody follows the groove of the extracted drums? (new here)

[@lotustunesacademy]

The midi information of the drum groove is extracted using abletons "slice to new midi" function and then applied to the melody. Cheers!

[@mrfeelthemusic1]

this technique propably used Acid Puli for the track Nana!

[@lotustunesacademy]

You’re right. Sounds similar ;)

[@darrelljohnston562]

Map the lfo to the echo!

[@lotustunesacademy]

Good idea!

[@mihaipolmusic]

Title is very confusing as what you are doing is not a melody... Just by modulating the start of a sample you are not "generating endless melodies"

[@lotustunesacademy]

thanks for the comment. I agree. It's more of a melodic arpeggio rather than a melody progression. Thought the tip might be inspiring and helpful in any way. Cheers!

[@BenCaesar]

I disagree I think it could be melodic as it uses tonal samples. If you wanted to make it more melodic you could add an arp or compose it yourself from the rhythm. It's definitely building bkocks for endless melodic ideas. I think for the genre it didn't call for melodic progression. Great video either way

[@claudiomalz]

endless is true

[@lotustunesacademy]

😉

[@caveagedcheese]

Now how do you go from all this "inspiration" to your own work?

[@kage-fm]

1. not really melody generation 2. kind of an ad for a sample pack?

[@atirageNS]

Granular playback with an LFO

[@lotustunesacademy]

Somewhat similar, yes!

[@slood]

answer is use sample packs

[@lotustunesacademy]

Thanks for the comment. This works for synths too! Cheers.

[@Bthelick]

Technically that's a chord not melody but a great trick none the less

[@lotustunesacademy]

Gotcha. Thanks for the comment.

[@Bthelick]

@@lotustunesacademy sorry, I'm THAT guy 🤣🤣

[@lotustunesacademy]

@@Bthelick haha no worries man! any feedback helps ;)

[@fabulousk9014]

I think the word melody is wrong here

[@videosvideos6243]

The video turns completely dark, just audio

[@lotustunesacademy]

Just rewatched the video on a few different devices. Works for me. Think this might be something that’s with your browser?

[@Djarilo]

we have AI now. to do this kind of primitive....

[@lotustunesacademy]

Feel free to link me a video that shows me what u mean. Cheers.

[@MediaMusik777]

x vox ...sounds like o vox

[@CarlSolovox]

Cool idea, but those aren't melodies bro.

[@elsid505]

cool trick however I dont think anyone familiar with music theory or musicianship would consider this a melody. Its a very nice rhythmic/harmonic element. The flute sound you used at the end would be considered a melody. Cheers!
