Composing With Single Melodies and Drumbeats    
You can choose to mix and match Melody and Percussion Windows from the Music Library in any combination to make a basis for your piece.

To import single melodies or drumbeats, press the Music Library Button or choose File Menu>Music Library. Then choose Example Music>Motives and select a style for the melodies or drumbeats you wish to import.

In each ‘style’ the motives are divided into categories:Accompaniment, Bass, Melody, and Percussion.

Select which type of melody or drumbeat you wish to import, choose a motive and select ‘Load All’. The selected melody or drumbeat will be added to your piece.

It's usually a good idea to choose a mix of melody and drumbeat types - for example a percussion (drum) motive, a bass motive and a mix of melody and accompaniment motives.

  Tips and Tricks

Just because a melody is of one type, that doesn't mean you can't use it in many different ways. For example, some bass lines might work equally well as melodies.

Experiment with different instrument sounds and Sketch Window position for each melody until you find the combination that works best.
