Notes: Ab4 – Bb4 – C5 – Db5 – E5 – F5 – G5 – Db5 – Bb4 – Db5 – Bb4 – Ab4 – G4 – F4
The three-semitone jump from the flattened sixth to the raised seventh is the hook: melodies either leap it deliberately or fill it chromatically, and the seventh pulls hard up to the tonic. Natural minor with the seventh raised back up, which leaves a three-semitone leap between the sixth and seventh degrees and turns the v chord into a dominant V. In F Harmonic Minor that plays out over F, G, Ab, Bb, C, Db, E — 4 flats (Bb, Eb, Ab, Db), plus E written in, the same notes as Ab Major. Set a contour and a density, roll until a line catches your ear, and download exactly what you heard as MIDI.

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 F Harmonic Minor, so every roll stays inside F, G, Ab, Bb, C, Db, E and lands on F.
What can you do with a melody MIDI file?
- Drop it onto any instrument track in your DAW as a topline, hook, or counter-melody starting point.
- Edit the notes on the piano roll — keep the phrase you like, rewrite the rest.
- Roll a few variations in the same key and splice the best bars together.
A generated melody is a starting point, not a finished song. For complete arrangements — melody, chords, bass and drums that belong together — open the MIDI Maker studio and generate a full track in F Harmonic Minor.

Frequently asked questions
What notes will a F Harmonic Minor melody use?
Every generated melody draws only from the F Harmonic Minor scale — F, G, Ab, Bb, C, Db, E, which is 1 2 b3 4 5 b6 7 against the major scale — across roughly an octave and a half starting at F4, and always resolves to the tonic F on its final note.
What makes a melody sound like Harmonic Minor rather than any other scale?
The three-semitone jump from the flattened sixth to the raised seventh is the hook: melodies either leap it deliberately or fill it chromatically, and the seventh pulls hard up to the tonic.
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 F Harmonic 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.
