Tutorial: Making Automatic Songs with the Melodist
In addition to creating original new songs and melodies, this feature can be a powerful practicing aid for sight
reading and improving your ear.
Press the on-screen [Melodist] button to launch the Melodist.
The left side of this screen displays the list of the Melodists available, including Pop, Swing, Bossa, Waltz, Rock, Bebop, and
Jazz Ballads. The Melodist will generate Intro, Chords, Melody Harmony, Style, and Solos using the group of settings preset
with the selected Melodist. Scroll down the list, and pick a Melodist that you'd like to use.
Generate Chords / Generate Melody / Generate Intros / Auto-Titles
The items that are selected will be generated. The convenient preset buttons will automatically set the appropriate settings to
popular presets.
The [Chords & Mel.] button will set the checkboxes to Generate Chords & Melody (but not Solos).
The [All] button will generate Chords, Melody, and Solos.
The [Chords] button sets the options to generate Chords only (no Melody).
The [Melody] button will set the options to generate only a Melody (no chords) over an existing chord
progression.
Insert Bass Pedals
When selected Pedal Bass figure will be inserted during the intro and at the end of sections.
Solo in Middle Choruses
This will generate an improvisation in the middle choruses of the song.
Allow Style Changes
When selected, this option allows a Melodist to load in the style associated with it. If you don't want Melodists to change the
current style that you have loaded, then deselect this option.
