00:00:07,599 --> 00:00:11,599
hey everybody in this video i want to
3
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:14,160
show you a little trick how to create
4
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:15,839
melodies with two voices
5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,920
most people either play monophonic
6
00:00:15,839 --> 00:00:20,240
melodies where only one note is used at
7
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:22,880
the same time or they play chords which
8
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:24,959
consist of at least three notes
9
00:00:22,879 --> 00:00:26,960
but exactly in between are melodies
10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,920
where you play two notes at the same
11
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,039
time
12
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,118
such melodies have their own
13
00:00:29,039 --> 00:00:33,760
characteristics many people associate
14
00:00:31,118 --> 00:00:35,280
them with caribbean and tropical flair
15
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:37,599
especially if you play them on
16
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:39,920
instruments like a marimba or viper
17
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:42,320
phone here's an example where i use this
18
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,000
technique in a melodic techno track
19
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,759
first i'll play the section with all the
20
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,350
instruments and then i'll show you the
21
00:00:45,759 --> 00:01:05,150
marimba
22
00:00:47,350 --> 00:01:05,150
[Music]
23
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,839
for this example i used the software
24
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:18,719
sundock song studio
25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,400
in the new version 3.9 i added a new
26
00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:22,000
feature that allows you to create two
27
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,920
voice melodies
28
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,840
sonic is a standalone midi sequencer
29
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,759
that allows you to compose harmonic
30
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,680
songs very quickly
31
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:33,359
sonic is connected to ableton live via
32
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:34,799
midi so all the sounds come from ableton
33
00:01:33,359 --> 00:01:37,799
in sunlock i first created a chord
34
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:43,940
progression it sounds like this
35
00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:43,939
[Music]
36
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:50,798
for most instruments i now just play on
37
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:53,200
the chord notes for this i click on
38
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:55,520
follow the chord notes and sunlock sets
39
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,359
the source mode to chord notes
40
00:01:55,519 --> 00:01:59,679
and now i can enter a pattern down here
41
00:01:57,359 --> 00:02:01,759
which plays on the chord notes for
42
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,370
example the bass plays a simple off-beat
43
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:09,338
rhythm
44
00:02:03,370 --> 00:02:09,338
[Music]
45
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,719
in this synth place an arpeggio that
46
00:02:14,239 --> 00:02:20,039
plays on the first second and third
47
00:02:16,719 --> 00:02:20,039
chord notes
48
00:02:26,878 --> 00:02:30,959
but now let's move on to the marimba
49
00:02:28,959 --> 00:02:32,959
again we set the source mode to chord
50
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:35,959
notes and we create a simple little
51
00:02:32,959 --> 00:02:35,959
rhythm
52
00:02:43,370 --> 00:02:47,748
[Music]
53
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,679
so far we've only ever played on the
54
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,360
base note of the chord so this is
55
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,040
monophonic melody
56
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,000
now we want to make it a polyphonic
57
00:02:57,039 --> 00:03:01,679
melody with two notes at the same time
58
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,680
to do this we click on the small bar
59
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,680
above the zero we now see the step
60
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,519
effect view here we can unlock
61
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:10,239
additional effects for each step which
62
00:03:07,519 --> 00:03:12,719
then occur with a certain probability
63
00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:14,080
we drag the probability of add extranode
64
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:17,120
to 100
65
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,959
and then we set the effect to plus two
66
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,560
this effect says that another node
67
00:03:18,959 --> 00:03:21,840
should be played in addition to the
68
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,158
normal node
69
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:26,239
so the zero down here is our main node
70
00:03:24,158 --> 00:03:28,560
and another node is triggered that is
71
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:32,360
two chord nodes above it
72
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,360
it sounds like this
73
00:03:33,030 --> 00:03:36,468
[Music]
74
00:03:40,878 --> 00:03:44,719
i now press copy and paste the effect to
75
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:46,479
other steps as well
76
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:50,799
i use different values every now and
77
00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:50,798
then so that a small melody can develop
78
00:03:56,158 --> 00:04:00,199
and now it sounds like this
79
00:04:07,919 --> 00:04:12,318
by the way you can also export the midi
80
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:15,640
data to the door via drag and drop at
81
00:04:12,318 --> 00:04:15,639
any time
82
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:21,198
a few more tips most melodies sound good
83
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:22,879
when the rhythm is right in most cases
84
00:04:21,199 --> 00:04:24,639
the notes should not be played on the
85
00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:27,519
beat but in between
86
00:04:24,639 --> 00:04:29,519
this makes the melody sound more groovy
87
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:31,680
you can use the same trick not only in
88
00:04:29,519 --> 00:04:33,198
sundock but also in chord potion
89
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,120
called potion is the midi effect plugin
90
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:36,960
that you can use directly in your door
91
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,240
and which can convert any chords into
92
00:04:36,959 --> 00:04:39,839
melodies
93
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:43,840
i wish you a lot of fun with sundock
94
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,839
have a good time and see you soon
