Generating Infinite Melodies with Ableton Live's MIDI Effects⎮Generative Music Part 2

In part 2 of the 4-part mini series on generative music with Ableton Live's MIDI effects we're going to explore various ways of generating melodies. We're starting off from where we left off in part 1 with increasing complexities while employing two more MIDI effects. Perfect for users of Live Lite or higher, including earlier versions than Live 11.

I really like the techniques on display here. Looking forward to Parts 3 & 4. 🙇

[@sonicbloomtuts]

Yay, very glad to hear it.

I'm absolutely loving this series, and have been following along and in the process creating my own piece based on the techniques I'm learning here (the goal is to have everything based on these generative ideas, including drums (using Mono Sequencer for that). Still on Live 10 so don't have Expression Control but otherwise most of what you're showing works great, and I love the tip about taking the Scale effect out of the group. I've also added Velocity effect to my chain. Can't wait to move on to 3 & 4, but I'm having so much fun with #2 right now :)

[@sonicbloomtuts]

That's wonderful to hear. Wait till you get to part 4!

[@pixelrancher]

Thanks.

[@sonicbloomtuts]

No worries!

Ich persönlich würde mir wünschen das Tutorials in Deutschland auch deutsch vermittelt werden…

[@sonicbloomtuts]

Ich habe 10 Jahre lang alle Tutorials auf Deutsch und Englisch gemacht, und dass, obwohl ich 8 Jahre davon teils schwer chronisch krank war und noch bin. Meine Gesundheit ist wichtiger. Und die CCs kann man auch automatisch übersetzen lassen.

There are about 1.456 billion English speakers versus 133 million German speakers. Both numbers are an estimation, but it puts your question in proportion ;)
