In my case, I am using a Universal Audio Apollo Twin. Your audio interface causes latency (or delay when hitting MIDI instruments). Call the padbulance… an orthopadic surgeon.

I got an 88/100 while managing to miss notes. My score wasn’t the greatest, but I was a little confused when I started. I still think there needs to be a prompt at the top of the screen indicating the user to hit play and get ready to play.

This software is very reminiscent of Guitar Hero and Rock Band. Blue squares indicate which pads to hit and when according to the yellow playhead. It’s my job to watch and play these notes in time. After hitting play, the playhead begins scrolling left to right as MIDI notes are incoming. I guess I will try hitting the play button. It reminds me of a DAW layout, but there are no instructions as to what I should do. I assume now I move on to the next step.Īfter hitting the right arrow to move on, the next screen to greet me looks like this. I played along and learned the groove, but I never received any confirmation informing me if I performed well or not. The groove is basically “ We Will Rock You,” by Queen. It consists of two eight notes on the kick and a quarter note on the snare.


The first beat was relatively simple to learn. The first on the list is ‘Rest Easy,’ which I assume explores the idea of space in hip hop music. Once inside the course, several different course modules walk you through each concept. I chose ‘Develop my Skills.’ Melobot recommended I start with the ‘Hip Hop Rhythms’ course. Next, the robot asks your goals with Melodics. I don’t want it to be too easy, yet I don’t want to show off anything impossible. To understand your skill level, Melobot will ask questions about your experience. It’s a little strange that it wasn’t taken care of right away, but that’s alright.Īfter completing all the necessary steps, Melobot will run you through the basics. Everything is working great.Īh, now we the get the email sign up prompt.

I’ve had this issue with music production software in the past, but most seem to have fixed this issue (most likely because my production computer runs Windows 10).Īnd to my delight, Melodics found my Akai MPK Mini 2 right away! The next screen will prompt you to play some notes to ensure you hear audio. The reason I waited to plug my MIDI controller in was I wanted to see if I would need to close the app to have it recognized. For the first part of this review, I’ll be trying the ‘finger drumming’ course. Now I almost forgot, I need to connect my controller. I’m shocked that I didn’t have to enter an email address and confirm it. Upon loading up Melodics, you’ll be prompted to create your account. Installation, Account Creation, and Setup While you don’t have to have a hardware controller, Melodics states that it’s a much better experience if you do. Downloading the Softwareĭownloading Melodics is simple as clicking the big blue button and indicating what hardware you will be using (like a keyboard, pad controller, or e drums). The website is modern, clean, and intuitive. Upon landing on Melodics’ homepage, I immediately was blown away.
