How to write polyphonic melodies in two minutes

It's very easy to write polyphonic melodies with the songwriting tool Sundog Song Studio.

The video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzRm3Lxaiww demonstrates how you can create a piano line with several simple melodies that form one complex piece.

The basic concept:

  1. Work with several Sundog instrument boxes and use the same MIDI channel for each of them.
  2. Create a simple melody for each instrument box. Work with different base octaves.
  3. Use the "Chord Notes" source mode for most boxes. Take the "Scale Notes" source mode for one box to spice things up a little bit.
  4. It's a good idea to experiment with different pattern lengthes, so that the melodies loop at different positions.

Now play back the different melodies together to hear a complex polyphonic piano line.
