MIDI Music Box

The MIDI Music Box is a MIDI effect for Ableton. Basically it is an arpeggiator that takes in chords and spits out melodies. It is great for writing synths to accompany chords not just melodies but bass lines too.

I call it a music box as the UI reminds me of an old school music box.

Watch the video in the banner to see how to get the best results.

Bring MIDI in from another channel or, drop your chord MIDI onto the channel, pitch it up or down, or not and change the time of the arp and boom you will instantly have a perfect melody to match your chords! It's that easy.
