SEE THE BEATS. HEAR THE DIFFERENCE.

Provide a heartbeat for your track by adding an intricate, interesting beat. Liquid Music lets you make beats using note clusters and patterns instead of individual notes. Experiment with unique rhythmic patterns and dial in the perfect beat in seconds. The rest of your performance—the chords and the melody you Sketched in—will stay constant while you find the right groove: Liquid Music will re-fit the notes from your previous idea into new rhythms on-the-fly. Maximize your songwriting and easily create interesting variations of your ever-evolving melody by using Liquid Music’s Harmony and Rhythm tools simultaneously. Tools from Liquid Rhythm such as the BeatBuilder, BeatWeaver, BeatForm Tumbler, GrooveMover, and Randomizer are available to fluidly experiment with the rhythms of your melodies and harmonies.

A WEALTH OF INSPIRING PRESETS

Liquid Music includes a collection of presets that are guaranteed to inspire new song ideas. Use them to create original ideas and rich harmonies in seconds. Or customize each preset by swapping different “layers” for nearly limitless possibilities. Each combination holds the promise of a new song…or a thousand. So start exploring and making new music in a new kind of way.

FIVE LAYERS OF MUSICAL CONTROL

ADVANCED TOOLS FOR MUSIC CREATION

Liquid Music separates music into different parts or “layers” that you can tweak and customize to build the perfect track. Each layer offers unique tools for morphing and evolving your music until it’s just right. Check out the different layers and tools below!

SKETCH

Sketch is where all the layers come together into one intuitive musical shape. Simply click and drag to create original harmonies, spark new song ideas and draw the shape of your music. Draw an incline and hear your melody rise accordingly—sketch a slope downward and hear the drop in pitch. And if it’s not quite right, just redraw and start crafting your next idea in seconds.

KEY

The key and mode of your song impact more than the selection of notes—it influences the mood your track has. Major keys for clear harmonies and positive or upbeat affect, go minor for something darker, or explore other more rare keys and modes to find some stranger harmonies. Transpose a track up or down to better fit with the range of a vocalist or various acoustic accompaniment instruments.

Chord Progression Overview in Liquid Music

CHORDS

Chord progressions provide the harmonic framework of your song—finding the right one is a crucial step in shaping your track, and sets the possibilities for all the other musical interactions you create. But finding the right chords isn’t always easy and can put demands on your memory, experience, and your music education. With Liquid Music, trying out different chords is as easy as a click. The Chords Panel offers two fun yet powerful tools for finding your way through the options.

Chord Suggester

WaveDNA mined a large swath of popular music across varied genres to arrive at the Chord Suggester, which will recommend the next chord in a sequence based on the frequency of that sequence in the data set. Looking for a chord progression characteristic of a certain genre? Let the Suggester guide your choices.

Chord Sequencer

You’re likely familiar with step sequencing for drum machines and DAW piano roll canvases—this tool acts as a chunky step sequencer for chord progressions. Quickly string different chords together and see them reflected as regions on your Sketch canvas, where each chord acts as a harmonic quantizer, making sure your Sketch notes all fit with your harmonic choices. Quickly swap out chords to hear the effects the new progression has on your track. Enrich your chords with added modifier notes. The Chord Sequencer makes all this easy.

VOICE

The more voices you use, the richer and more complicated the melodies and chords will be. Use the Voice Layer panel to add just the right amount of harmony. Customize how thick the harmonies are at specific parts of the song or create cascading arpeggios. You can also import a melody into Liquid Music and use the Voice Layer to add harmony to it. It’s your music, your choice, and your voice.

RHYTHM

Liquid Music’s Rhythm Layer leverages the host of tools offered by Liquid Rhythm drum and percussion software, only geared to the rhythmic aspect of your melodies and chords. Alter the rhythm of your music without affecting your melodic Sketch or your harmony, just a shuffle of the timing of your notes. Play around with the duration of your notes, or the velocity and timing to find the right groove. Insert a rhythmic cluster to add a melodic flourish. Our rhythm tools cover it all.

CREATE SONG IDEAS IN SECONDS

SKETCH. EXPLORE. CREATE.

Crafting original song ideas with Liquid Music couldn’t be easier. Sketch shapes and explore unique melodies to get your creativity flowing and set a direction for your music. Dial in the perfect groove and beat with the rhythm features. Then polish your idea by taking control of the musical layers—change keys to evoke a different mood, add harmonies, alter the rhythm to humanize the performance, and more. How you want to create is up to you, Liquid Music just helps you do it a whole lot faster.
