I'm not too big on combining melodies to form chords. What I usually do is come up with the chord progression first and center the melody around the tone caused by the chord progression.

Velocity represents (typically) the strength of a note. However, NOT ALL instruments will be set up to handle velocity in the same way. Velocity could, in some situations control a filter's Freq, or (in most guitars) control the Decay of the signal (so soft notes become palm-mutes) Look for modifiers that say "vel" or "sensitivity" as they typically reflect how much change the velocity will bring to the sound. Values of 0 typically will dismiss velocity and make all notes equal.
It's all about velocity! I have been playing guitar for about 13 years now, and it helps to understand the way the variance in strength in an arpeggio will create more interesting rhythmic structures. Hard to explain in text though. I did some really nice work with this "Guitar" patch (The one in Steampipe) in part 1 of "Murphy's Law Symphony".
Thanks for the comment, Chardin! I just tried what you asked, but I don't think my result is video-worthy. Even with chords C,G,F or others, the principle remains exactly the same, although sometimes you'll find an urge to add a high C during the F chords. It's as easy as clicking on each note to see if it makes a good melody, then selecting and boosting.
pads in uplifting trance serve mostly for the feel. in my humble opinion, when you write your melodies, you should have already determined the chord progression, from there is simply deciding how to transit from chord to chord, there are various techniques to do that. why don't you take a look at FLipside?
ok see im trying to make a bridge out of a Bb F C7 and G7 chords but i dont know what i should do to make the bridge like combinations or maybe an rpegio
question: whats up with your piano roll? i noticed that the darker note lines are not in line with black notes on the keys. is that some sort of setting within FL? thanks.
Enrique Rodriguez Sadly, I haven't been able to get it to work since FL Version 7, or maybe it was since upgrading to Windows 7. Probably the latter, as Reaktor crashes on opening, now.If you install Reaktor, it should include a VST Plugin, which you can then add to FL Studio's VST Plugins folder, then you add it in by right-clicking a channel and choosing "more".
cant say this enough to you ppl out there making tutorials about sound. How can u put up a video with such a loud daw, and such a low voice. Cant hear you talk, and when i turn up to hear you, i got blated away cause FL was so loud. Its not hard to limit the shit out of your voice before you put up the video. ;)
+Michael Larsen It's true. This video is about 8 years old and back then I didn't have the equipment necessary to record on a separate channel. I had to do everything live, with multiple takes if I screwed up. It was hard. I wouldn't do that now, but... now I've got some money. It's not like my tutorials ever earned me a dollar. Anyway I hope I helped some.
Thanks for showing us your method man, this is sort of like counterpoint, but mainly focuses on basic harmony lead.
Thanks, D, I wasn't sure if it was just my speakers. Will correct for next time.

It's from Reaktor 5. It's called "Guitar" as a "Steampipe" instrument.

Thank you, Khrene!
I discovered it by myself, these days, on my PC!
Very useful procedure.

Thank you for this great video good sir!
you didn't show us any theory behind it.... you didn't tell us what kinds of chords and how they worked together????
loving ure tuts
Love your vids! Keep it up man, you keep it interesting!
i completely second that!
Nice tutorial! Thanks for it, I'll share it!
nice one thank u, teached me some new tricks!
Very helpful. Thanks!
incredibly helpful tut, much appreciated bro :)
Sweet, thanks.
Cracking sound..
Great video, dude
good stuff... i like that
awesome
good looks
hey nice tutorial , thanks . But I was wondering how to get the guitar you're using in the video ? plz
pads in uplifting trance serve mostly for the feel. in my humble opinion, when you write your melodies, you should have already determined the chord progression, from there is simply deciding how to transit from chord to chord, there are various techniques to do that. why don't you take a look at FLipside?
OMG, 10 honors!
good job
sadly why he doesn't upload anymore , Don't let people drive drunk and report anyone u think is please
Ace, what command do you enter to hear just the selected (in red) notes?
Nice work!
hey man wat vst are you using for that guitar.... itsn nice very goo tut 2 !!
...note), and I make a chord that starts at each power note and consists of that note at a different octave.
cool!! ''good''
Good question.
VST called Reaktor 5.
Not free though.
Ok, but fly me out to come visit when you get famous!
ok see im trying to make a bridge out of a Bb F C7 and G7 chords but i dont know what i should do to make the bridge like combinations or maybe an rpegio
how do you get the piano roll to show the dark notes on the grid area?
question: whats up with your piano roll? i noticed that the darker note lines are not in line with black notes on the keys. is that some sort of setting within FL? thanks.
@TheEliasMontalvo in the options of the piano roll go to help hit ghost channels
I have reaktor 5 but I can't get it to work with FL Studio... any suggestions?
He didn't, he just turned up the volume on the notes he selected to make them stand out from the chord
Hey....
Is there a soundfont which sounds more or less like Reaktor 5???
hey where can I find the guitar you're using in this tutorial ?
Only because the New Zealand Category has such little activity!
RIP Daniel aka AcePincter
can I use that melodie for my beat ?
Harmonic minor?
how did you get the reactor 5 into your fl studio? i'd really appreciate the help...

Dude, are you a genius? just wondering
u must be a very rich guy...
dident eminem use this in one of his songs some 1 did
CAN I USE THIS RIFF?
good job, but i think it wud of bn bettif you showd the keys on the left, cause lik im a total begginer. lol
you didn't "come up with that in your head" that's already a song.
You owe me a hearing aid!
mad confused how u get those different shades in the piano roll
Evan1995 They turn red when selected. I selected them one by one by holding CTRL. Is that what you were asking about?
Justin i think he meant the helpers in the back saying which notes to play../scale no?
Possibly. If he reads this, it's "Detect Scale" in the "Helpers" menu under the little wrench icon on the top -left of the Piano Roll window.
is this a pun?
***Hey sphincter***
lol. a sphincter u crack me up
@NsaneNtheNbrane Haha :-D should have read this comment first (regarding to note velocity)
whatever happened to this guy
??
Thanks for this helpful vid, but sort ya fuckin volume out man lol
That 9th chord sounds like shit to begin with, but you make it sound worse with your melody! Congrats ;-) JK, GJ
