Why Use This Melody Generator
Stuck on a blank page? This generator gives you musical ideas grounded in real music theory. Every melody stays within your chosen scale, so the results are always musical — and the MIDI export means you can drop ideas straight into your project and build on them.
Combine it with the Euclidean Rhythm Generator for drums, or use the Chord Identifier to figure out what to play underneath your new melody.
