I'd add too that if you can play any instrument well enough to create a melody, use that, don't do it sat at the computer. Or your voice if you can't play!
Hope that helps. |

Also, I wasn't hijacking your advice there TranceLover007, playing keys is definately a plus. |

:whip: - anyhow, at the time when I have some moments (sometimes hours or even days) of brain freeze this tool helps me exploring some interesting chords progression.

| cthulhu is awesome for this. Just midi sync to your favorite synth, and plug in a nice little pattern. Select which Chorale you like and boom.. Instant chord progression / melody .. |

| Take an existing melody and change part of it. |

| I would just listen to soundtracks from 90s to 2000 and just rip those. You will learn in the process. They are simple enough and fit modern music quite well. |

| I think cthulhu is bull. If you can't string a melody and some chords together you have bigger things to worry about, like finding ANOTHER HOBBY. lol |

| chtulu is probably great as a learning tool as those chorals are used by everyone to teach harmony. They tend to be rather tonic/dominant heavy which is will sound weird in a modern context. |

If you have a keyboard, mark the notes of the key that your track is in with an eraseable marker or something. If you have ableton, create new midi loop, make 1 giant stacked chord in the piano roll, duplicate it a few times up and down the octaves (like c2-c5). Move that outside of your loop area slightly and fold. |
