Cem Olcay has just released a new fantastic app called MelodyBud, a new Midi Generative sequencer. It is a generative sequencer which means you rely on randomisation settings to generate a new melody.

As you can see from the app you can run it as an AUv3 instance or also in standalone mode. In this tutorial I am running it inside AUM, my favourite Audio Mixer.

MelodyBud allows you to select a default scale and key so that you can target the melody creation to your taste and needs.

This is what the tutorial demonstrate:

- Selection of key and scale

- Creation of melody by step selection

- Creation of melody using the random function

- Settings for changing the number of steps used

- The ability to randomise all steps or a particular step for your melody

- How to change settings for Octave, Velocity, Glide, Ratchet and Gate

- Creation of different patterns and how to switch between them or using your favourite Midi CC# message

- Change of rates for different playing speed for different instances of MelodyBud 

I tried where possible to make the tutorial a bit more musical, so I used Animoog Z for the main melody, iSEM from Arturia for the bass line and I also added Digistick for drums.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial and find it useful.
