Put Your Melody Into a Song
Record or draw MIDI notes, then place a pattern in the Playlist.
One idea
Plain-language explanation
MIDI notes are instructions, not sound waves. You can play them on your keyboard or draw them in Piano Roll. Once you have a small pattern, copy it into the Playlist to make a beginning, middle, and ending.
Do this now
Three tiny steps
- Load a gentle instrument such as FLEX.
- Record or draw C D E D C in Piano Roll.
- Place the pattern in the Playlist three times, leaving space before the final repeat.
Two-minute practice
Try it yourself
Make an eight-bar sketch: beat pattern, melody pattern, then a final quieter repeat. Save it with today’s date.
