![]() They don't always yield usable results, but most of the time, they do, if you tweak enough.A list of the ten “melody assistants” Benn reviews on Part II, arranged with links, least expensive to most. Including the other stuff mentioned above (CodeFN42, etc), there are a ton of options. Harvest by Harvest Plugins - I tried Harvest Mini (the free one) a while ago. PhraseBox by Venomode - doesn't seem like a "melody" generator, but breaks up chords into interesting arpeggios. AudioModern Riffer - know little about it, too. Some people think it's a joke but I've heard good things. EvaBeat Melody Sauce - know little about it. Sugar Bytes Thesys - not always good results with the random/dice roll stuff, and it doesn't have a random "step mute" thing, but you can get some cool results from this, too. ![]() Maschine and its "Variations" mode - not always good results, but a one-button press (from Maschine Jam or Maschine MK3) and you can have some usable melodies. Works similarly to MIDI Madness 3 and others. Reaper and MIDI Ex Machina by Rob - humble Reaper script, but insanely powerful. Sundog Song Studio / Melodic Flow (Feel Your Sound) - this guy's humble software is very powerful and often yields really good results. Orb / Hexachords - have not used at all but it seems like Captain Plugins, the off-line version. But, usually good results, and in my opinion, worth the asking price (it's only $20 per plugin). Needs an internet connection the whole time you're using it (that's annoying). ![]() Midi Madness 3 - depending on the constraints, you can either come up with cool-sounding stuff or terrible. You can play segments of midi files, which is really nice, but it's not "generating". reMIDI - not a "generator" so much, as a "midi file chopper". Interface is hard to read, but it's cool. It's just a clunky program, and always has been. But sometimes you can get decent results. And a lot of the stuff is very, very cheesy. But, not all of the Melodists even work, I've found. But, the Melodist can yield some decent results after you put your own chord progression in. Too many things do too many things, and there are like 5 different ways to do something in every menu. Plus, I've found him to be a real asshole on his forum, and in emails. I don't get it at all, and he basically priced himself out of the public eye. Synfire / Harmony Navigator - The first is ridiculously overpriced, and I think only the damn developer knows how to use it, because I couldn't figure out how to use Harmony Navigator at all, over the years, and Synfire is like reading ancient text. This thing can be confusing to use but usually yields pretty nice results. Melodya - the Phrase/Melody generator part of RapidComposer, as a separate plugin. There's nothing like it, and nothing as powerful. While I see the program on the sister site, I feel that it's worth the asking price, considering everything it does. This software used to crash constantly but it has been greatly stabilized over the years. Long before Captain Plugins did, and I feel that they stole his code and ideas. RapidComposer - been a fan of this developer's work for a number of years. Scaler 2- great for chord progressions/theory knowledge and the Performances are pretty useful, but the types of things that everyone's going to use in their productions, so I'd avoid the Performances mostly, but this is a great idea tool, and cheap. Well that went philosophical, anyway u get the point. Whether its happy sad or anger, Pop, Rock or Death metal, House, Edm, trap, Bigroom house or Bathroom House, Whether use sample packs or not, some form of energy in you is making u choose the right sound. It Does not matter how u make ur Music its divine( by divine i dont mean it like with background angelic voice singing AAAAAAAAAh, God almighty. Of course some might say mind is a powerful tool.īut not every one is a trained musician, and even if u are one, these tools (or most) may be of better use to u than to the non musician, well that my opinion. This might be handy for those looking for creative tools. Which has the capablity of generating midi like Midi Madness or Samplers like reMIDI or songwriting tools like Rapidcomposer, Synfire, orbcomposer/producer etc. Share ur thoughts on the these software/plugins that u may own or downloaded or tried or you've just come across on the web, that basically deals with Midi.
