![]() ![]() If we’re happy to use something from a Loop CD then isn’t it actually better to build that loop yourself, using your own sounds, and your own unique choices? So yeah, I’m in two minds about it. On the other hand why not create for yourself some MIDI loops? If ultimately we’re all using similar chords and progressions, rhythms and basslines then why write them from scratch every time when you produce and personalise the basic structure of your song quickly and easily in Odesi. But the more I looked into it the more I realised that it’s a MIDI loop creator that’ll give you a song like holding one finger chords on a home keyboard with auto-accompaniment gives you a song – and I then realised I’m more of a musical snob than I thought. But I kind of assumed that it would work within my DAW, within my workflow where it might suggest a change that I hadn’t thought of or give me a fresh take on something. When I started looking at Odesi I was pretty upbeat about it – I appreciate tools that are going to make my life easier and the underlying philosophy of Odesi is that it helps you try stuff out quickly and easily. You can edit the patterns and rhythms and make adjustments so that you don’t have to end up sounding like everyone else – although probably the point is to sound like everyone else, to sound like a hit record, to follow the beats of what’s been successful in order to give you a similarly successful track. Includes Mixed in Key 10, Captain Plugins Epic, Pilot Plugins, Mixed In Key Studio Edition, Mixed In Key Live, Odesi, Flow 8 Deck, Platinum Notes, Mashup, Satellite Plugins, and Beyond Beatmatching. You can, of course, then dial in a drum pattern to fit with the overall groove, add a melody line and before you know it your track is pumping and the room is jumping to your awesome musical talent. Apparently they’ve analyzed some of the biggest hits in music and pulled out a bunch of rhythms that were commonly used. The sounds come from VST or AU instruments.Īlong with the automatic chord progressions and basslines you can also select from a palette of rhythmic patterns. But then why play anything yourself when you can get Odesi to randomly throw in a chord progression based on the chosen key – I guess it’s a lot like auditioning loops but where you have a lot more control over the sound. Its great for writing music for 4 instruments at once: Chords, Melody, Bass and Drums. Odesi helps you see everything on a single MIDI canvas. You can lock to different key signatures and harmonic modes helping you to never play a bum note. Odesi is a stand-alone app that runs on Mac and Windows. ![]() Cubase allows for the pitch and duration of the notes a single-voice phrase to be edited in many ways, and, the notes can be converted to midi. ![]() You can then select a chord or chords and quickly shift them around by choosing different chords and progressions from a menu. Polyphonic tracks can successfully modulated up and down to a degree and Cubase will tell you the pitch it is using for the track, even if you are actually moving chords up and down by half-steps. You might start out recording some chords and Odesi will recognise those and add a simple bassline to follow. Essentially it’s a MIDI sequencer focused on creating looped patterns for traditional verse and chorus song structures. Odesi sees itself as the beginning of your musical journey, a place to come up with the guts of your next hit record ready for finishing in your chosen DAW. ![]()
