How it works

Pick a key and scale, then roll melody until something catches your ear. The generator writes each line note by note: it favours stepwise motion over leaps (the way most memorable melodies move), follows the contour you choose — rising, falling, arching, or wandering — packs the bars according to the density setting, leaves the occasional breath of rest, and always resolves to the tonic on the final note. Press play preview to hear the exact notes the download writes. This page arrives preset to Ab Melodic Minor, so every roll stays inside Ab, Bb, Cb, Db, Eb, F, G and lands on Ab.

Frequently asked questions

What notes will a Ab Melodic Minor melody use?

Every generated melody draws only from the Ab Melodic Minor scale — Ab, Bb, Cb, Db, Eb, F, G, which is 1 2 b3 4 5 6 7 against the major scale — across roughly an octave and a half starting at Ab4, and always resolves to the tonic Ab on its final note.

What makes a melody sound like Melodic Minor rather than any other scale?

The raised sixth and seventh make the top half of the scale behave like a major scale, so ascending lines push hard to the tonic while descending lines often fall back into natural minor.

Can I control the shape of the melody?

Yes — the contour control biases the melody rising, falling, arching, or wandering, and the density control (sparse, medium, busy) sets how many notes it packs into each bar. Every press of "Roll melody" generates a fresh line with those settings.

Is the generated Ab Melodic Minor melody royalty-free?

Yes — each melody is generated on your device by weighted chance, not by a model trained on anyone else’s music, so it is yours to keep and royalty-free for personal and commercial projects.
