Here's how I make complex melodies on the OP-Z with no music theory knowledge

For this beat, I'm making use of the OP-Z "master track". From Teenage Engineering: The master track allows you to transpose selected tracks and create harmonic chord progressions. the OP-Z automatically analyses the notes used in the bass, lead, arp and chord tracks to determine the key of the pattern. using the piano keys it is then possible to change key / mode. use the dials to control the master effects and filter. I'm also using the "step components" named "pulse" and "ramp up/down" to create odd time rhythms and varied melodies. I also explored "step count" to create polyrhythms and used the "tape track" to create further complex loop lengths. 📕Chapters: 0:00 - Welcome 0:24 - Here’s what the master track is doing 3:37 - Here’s the complex melody part 5:34 - Using the pulse step component 7:18 - Changing the step count and step length 9:18 - Making changes to the master track length 10:14 - Combining this with the tape track 12:06 - Undoing the damage and improving parts 14:07 - Adding the random trigger spark and chilling 🌏Hashtags: #teenageengineering #opz #beatmaking
