Introduction

Scales

Presets

The definition of a melody is a sequence of notes that provide a musicly satsifying tune.

To create a basic melody we can chose notes from a specific scale. If all of the notes are from the same scale the melody won't sound "wrong".

Here are some notes from different scales you can use to craft your own melodies in the pianoroll below.
