We change it to the bass setting for our bass part and melody setting for our lead. No problem – you can simply change this if it doesn’t get it right automatically. It’s correctly analysed the arp part as chords, but in this case it’s analysed the bass as a melody and the lead as a percussion part. Oon the Track Type Analysis page, we can now see our named MIDI regions on the left and how Liquid Notes has analysed the MIDI data to the right. As we’re using Logic as our DAW for this example, we select Logic as our sound output source. Now we need to load Liquid Notes, and we can drag and drop our exported MIDI files onto the ‘Drop MIDI File Here’ bubble that appears on the right. We name our MIDI ‘For Liquid Notes’ and save it on the desktop. We can do this by highlighting all MIDI regions and then right-clicking (or ctrl-clicking) and selecting ‘Export as MIDI File’. First we name our MIDI regions ‘bass’, ‘lead’ and ‘arp’ (this will make things clearer when it comes to the Track Analysis Type page in Liquid Notes), then we need to export our MIDI files.

The hook is sounding OK, but the same pattern plays in a loop. It would benefit from some variations in the melody to create something musically stronger – this is where Liquid Notes comes in. The only thing we change on the arp is moving the Oct Range setting to 4 so that the arp riff plays over four octaves: We program four-note G minor chord, and also load Logic’s Arpeggiator MIDI effect. The third sound is yet another instance of Diva, this time opting for the ‘MK Plucky Saws’ preset from the Poly Synth presets. For this sound we program a simple single-note pattern with some velocity variation: We’ve programmed the MIDI notes below, in the key of G minor, playing over eight bars: įor the second part, we’ll also load another instance of Diva on a new instrument channel, and load the ‘HS Ursa Minor’ preset from the Poly Synth presets section. We’ll begin by putting together our sequence, which consists of three parts, each played with U-he’s Diva synth.įor the first part, select the ‘XS Analog Bass’ preset. In this instalment of Synth Secrets we’ll take a look at reharmonising the melodic sequence below using Re-Compose’s Liquid Notes software.

#SIMILAR TO LIQUID NOTES HOW TO#
Liquid Notes for Live uses the Max for Live standard in Ableton Live 9 to run as a MIDI effect.Synth Secrets is a series of programming tutorials in which we show how to make a range of classic and new synth sounds using plugins such as Massive, Sylenth and Diva. This enables you to build up a MIDI arrangement in Live or to load an existing project, and to utilize the music intelligence of Liquid Notes to arrive at the sound and emotional message you are looking for. Color codes indicate the conventionality of the chords in the harmonic context. This information is presented in a simple and clean user interface: Chords appear as rectangular boxes, with a vertical slider and two rotary knobs for changing chord functions, substitutions, and their tensions, respectively. Musical adaptation (resynthesis) builds meaningful musical context from various input data (e.g., melodies, bass lines, chords, loops, rhythmic patterns, etc.). Any change to your arrangement is made in real time for all tracks, and is immediately audible for the user.Ī powerful harmonic analysis atomizes even complex multi-track songs and detects their various musical elements and their correlations. From variations of an entire song or just certain segments of it to spicing it up and making it sound different from others, Liquid Notes adds the intelligence to Live that helps you to apply such changes with a click of the mouse only. It offers a controllable range of alternatives for chords and harmonies in single-track or multi-track MIDI arrangements and makes the theory of harmony fully accessible to you. Liquid Notes for Live is a songwriting assistant tool for editing complex harmonic progressions.
