Try this arp on the piano or whatever,
C - D# - G - _ | C - D# - G - _ | C - D# - G - _ | C - D# - G# - _
(note that's a G# on the end)
Nice right?
Now try:
C - E - G - _ | C - E - G - _ | C - E - G - _ | C - E - A - _
Ugh, disgusting. The hills are alive my friends, the hills are alive. |
just to correct your little expirement, the D# is really an Eflat, as it is part of a C minor chord which uses flats in the key signature. (just to be technical, as a long time musician, seeing it written like that is somewhat confusing)
yeh, the cminor to cminor augmented chord is the epitemy of typical trance. (and usually goes into something cheesey like an eflat major 2nd inversion to bflat major :p ) |

Cheeeeese, lol... i've heard it done in trance music, it sounds liek straight curded milk
mode changes are another thing, can really help build emotion
key doesn't matter nearly as much as the progression it self... if you transpose the melody into a different key, bump up or bump down the entire progression x number of steps into whatever key, it's gonna sound similar, so i dont think they key is as important. |

ChordME is a midi VST that converts incoming midi notes into full chords.
Different chords can be assigned to each note across the octave so that complex chord arrangements can quickly be built up from simple midi patterns.
The keyboard lights up to display the notes being played in the chord as they are generated.
Notes can be previewed / generated by clicking on the labels next to the chord lists.
Chords or the original midi notes can be transposed up or down by up to four octaves.
The vast majority of hosts will require the VSTi version but for certain hosts unable to load VST instruments there is a VST fx version available as well.

if you want that dark somber trance melody
mix a major 3rd , with a major 7th ,you need a mixture of happy and sad to get the rise and release of tension.
hope this helps |

Anyone try my little Major-Minor experiment? |
I did! It sounds nice. Was messing around with a second bar to make it more diverse (C - D# - G - _ | C - D# - G - _ | C - D# - A# - D# | C - D# - G# - A#).
Then when changing to CEG etc. I swear I was standing there with the Von Trapp family on some lively hill :eek:.
