If you're sick of beats and distortions have a mellow day by exploring the melodies Reason creates for you.
It's all setup with two samplers Piano and Rhodes.

Randomize the Matrix or notes on a Korde sequencer, but mostly Matrix.
Try using different scales between a Player and Ochen K Tuner.
Change the player parameters a bit.
Or just change that piano and rhodes sound into something else.

You need to have Korde and Ochen K. Tuner in order for this to work.

I was playing with PSQ to generate even more randomness, but I need to practice some more with it.

P.S. Oh yeah slow the tempo if you're feelin' super chilled.
I've updated it a bit...

Enjoy

Thanks for sharing. I've been using the Ochen K and Matrix method for a while. I just bought PSQ over the weekend and I'm looking forward to using it.

Sounds great! Try throwing the "Brain's Piano" patch on it from the R9 soundbank. Awesome!
If you ain't hip to the rare Housequake, shut up already.

Damn.

Great tip, Mataya.

Another excellent way to generate melodies, which will actually work well with a chord progression, is AutoTheory. You can use the same randomize feature of Matrix, then plug it into the melody cv ins.
Players are to MIDI what synthesizers are to waveforms.

How do you record the melodies generated by this patch please? (Excuse my ignorance!)

You can use the quantizer in the PSQ instead of the Ochen tuner, just saying.

Thanks! And I actually get far more options...with range and offset and can even modulate those. Wow!
