Introduction to Creating Piano Melodic Beats

​

Creating piano melodic beats can be an exciting, galvanizing process. With the right tools, some semblance of musical insight, and a heart for experimentation, you can produce your unique, melodious studio-quality beats. Our upcoming Piano Sample Kit promises to equip you with a set of high-quality piano samples to help you amplify your music production process.

​

However, even with the right tools, engaging your listeners is crucial. You have to create a beat that will catch their ear, keep them listening, and, possibly, hit the replay button. So how do you do this? How do you create a melody that resonates? Let's break it down.

​

The Essentials

​

First, you need music production software (also known as a digital audio workstation or DAW). For this tutorial, we will be using FL Studio, but these principles apply to any DAW of your choice. You also need a MIDI keyboard, although this isn't mandatory, but it makes penciling in notes quite easier.

​

Penciling in notes involves inputting the desired notes into the piano roll on your software. Afterward, adjust the note length to denote how long the note should be played before the next one comes in. When you have a basic sequence of notes, arrange them into a melody that connects. There's no rigid rule to this; it's all about sounding good to the ear. You can then add effects such as reverb to give depth and richness to the melodies.

​

Adding Complexity to the Melody

​

Once you've got the hang of creating a basic melody, it's time to add complexity. This is where your ‘groove' section comes in. A groove is a rhythmic feel or pattern that adds a sense of swing, funk, or any rhythmic nuance that adds interest to your melodies.

​

You add a groove by alternating between the main melody and the groove. Also, introduce drum beats at this point to add rhythm and drive to the track. Variations in drumming patterns and fills keep the beat exciting and prevent it from sounding monotonous. Incorporate different hi-hat and triangle sets to bring forth unique, engaging melody.

​

Round Off the Melody

​

If you have downloaded our upcoming Piano Sample Kit, you'll notice it's stocked with a diverse range of piano samples crafted to fit any genre. You can use these samples to round off your melody. Add these piano samples to your beat to fill out any gaps, or use them as counter-melodies to make your beat more layered and interesting.

​

Now, the most useful part of music production is feedback. Always seek out feedback from listeners, other producers, or any music critic you trust. You can also share your melody online on sound sharing platforms and music communities. This will help you understand how your audience perceives your melody, what they enjoy, and what could be improved.
