This Plugin Makes Basic Melodies Sound INSANE

Most producers try to make melodies unique by adding more layers, effects, and instruments, but similar melodies have already been made.

Instead of adding complexity, focus on cutting unnecessary elements and transforming simple things into evolving soundscapes that don't sound like traditional melodies.

Drops need to hit hard and have impact in every part of the track, but the challenge is filling the blank space between them.

Use new effects from Ben Jordan and Lunacy Audio to transform basic melodies and improve the overall track structure.

• Multiply works like a normal delay • Divide mode fits delay time into a single tap regardless of the time setting • Includes cluster and skew parameters for sound manipulation

• Fade parameter allows making the first tap louder while fading the rest out or in • Feedback control can be adjusted and increased • Stereo and pingpong options available for spatial effects

The plugin can be used as an instrument rather than just a classic delay, transforming simple loops into arpeggios and creating grain-like effects.

With pitch control, semitone adjustments, and different modes, users can create risers and transform drops with unique melodic elements.

• Play with pitch using the second tap of Taps plugin • Change semitones to adjust the melodic content • Switch between different modes for varied sonic results

Add tape wow and flutter effects to introduce rhythm and character to the transformed melody.

Increase feedback to turn the effect into a cool riser that can enhance drop sections and create ascending melodic elements.

The Taps-based arpeggio often sounds better than traditional arpeggiators and can work effectively as a drop melody element.

Controlled feedback loops are an old idea that has proven effective; this effect makes it as simple as dragging portals inside Beam.

• Adjust feedback timing by dragging a knob • Syncing the feedback with time parameters creates a more classic feedback sound • Panic button available if feedback becomes unstable

Use LFOs and envelopes built inside Beam to modulate parameters like cluster, creating dynamic and evolving sound design.

Playing with effects randomly can lead to happy accidents; presets demonstrate extensive sound design possibilities beyond simple melodic applications.

The real potential starts when using these effects as sound design tools for individual sounds rather than just melodies.

• Apply effects to various sound sources including vocals • Transform drum elements • Process any audio material

Use resampling techniques to capture and repurpose the processed sounds, creating unique sonic textures.

The effects-based approach enables deep sound design exploration and creative audio manipulation beyond traditional production methods.
