You can take it one step further! If you’re using melodic minor, play it on the ascending portions of your melody, but when your melody starts to descend in pitch, switch back to natural minor. This was the way the melodic minor was initially intended to be used it can sound amazinggggg
The melodic minor is a harmonic minor with a raised 6th largely because singers found it difficult to ascend a harmonic minor. It used to be played as a natural minor scale when descending too. Speaking tonally not modally
Thanks for this. The explanation of the Phrygian and Melodic scale's relation to the root note was eye opening. Did I understand you correctly that switching to a more "interesting" scale could be good for some parts and then transition back to the original scale after those parts, but not go haywild and switch through many scales?
Nice way to explain it; very solid. You know mate, I was abusing of the prhygian mode for psy and never knew that, until I watched a couple of videos on modes and scales. I mostly try to create a melody without knowing which scale I'm using, so the melody doesn't get stuck on its own structure, so more tension intervals can be found without losing the harmony. I would like to watch a video of making a powerfull bass line; if you hve not made one, please, I would appreciate one. And if you already did one, please, let me know how to search forit in your channel. I was trying to find some specific stuff in your channel few days ago and could not find what I was looking for. You have so too bloody many videos bro!
Great video 👍. This reminds me a lot of the enigmatic band/artist Corona - not "Rhythm of the night" Corona (though I love that song) but the creator(s) of the amazing Photosphere album and a few others. I've never been able to find any information on them.
Crazy! I actually had that album eons ago, they were a huge inspiration for me, they were releasing on Sanskara records in those days alognside Hydraglyph, one of my favourites. One of the members of corona is still active in the local scene, I think he's solo under the name iTone.
@@DashGlitch I'll have to check him out. I only came across them when randomly searching stuff on iTunes years ago. Having the same name as other bands isn't necessarily a good thing but it worked for me that time. Thanks for the tip!
...and this is the exact reason why I'm no fan of implementing a scale filter into Bitwigs piano roll. Great idea, writing everything in C and then using note transpose to fit the track's key. This is a cool hack for us non-pianists.

Great! I feel the infected mushroom vibe in the second example
So sick thanks dude
Nice one :)
Modal interchange can really shift the vibe of a piece. Each mode is kind of like its own emotional palette 🎨
very useful information, thank you
Great thanks. A some cool sounds you've created
Awesome brother thanks!
Great video man very edjucating ❤
This is going to help so much! great explanation as always!

100% or rather than completely switch, just use the new mode for the one lead

On my channel if you click videos there should be a search on the top, search bass in there
I already did that... there are tons of videos!!! @@DashGlitch
well... TH-cam is recommending me your basslines videos since I asked you; I think that's a causal thing, not chance. Nice @@DashGlitch 👍
Great explanation, I always stuck with all the melodic lead writing.. this is a great way of working..
thx Dash for the great tutorial.
Cheers 🍻 😊

No one would be forcing you to use said scale filter but it would useful for some.
I have to agree.. Cosmic dust is a really playful patch!
Thanks!
Which pack is Cosmic Dust in?
Orbital Resonance - my latest pack for Phase Plant, Just remembered I haven't posted that link in the description like I said I would hah!
