🎵 Pitch Made - Complete Guide

🚀 Quick Start (Beginner)

Welcome! Pitch Made lets you create and experiment with music beats and melodies.

Press Play - Use the ▶ button or Spacebar
Try a Preset - Use the dropdown at the top (keys 1-0)
Edit the Beat - Click squares in the Step Sequencer grid
Create Melody - Click "Generate Melody" button

🎛️ Controls Explained

Transport Controls

BPM (60-200) - Speed of the music. Higher = faster. Typical: Trap 140, House 128, Hip-hop 90-100
Swing (0-70%) - Adds groove by delaying off-beats. 0% = straight, 50%+ = heavy swing
Loop - Repeat your pattern. Set length from 1/2 bar to 16 bars
Metronome - Click track to help you keep time

Sound Controls

Drum Kit - Choose your drum sound:
• 808 - Deep bass, trap/hip-hop
• 909 - Classic techno/house
• Lo-Fi - Vintage, dusty sound
• Acoustic - Natural drum kit
• Trap - Modern, punchy
Melody Synth - Melody sound type:
• Sine - Pure, smooth tone
• Triangle - Soft, mellow
• Square - Retro video game sound
• Sawtooth - Bright, aggressive (EDM)
Filter Type & Cutoff - Shape your tone:
• Lowpass - Removes high frequencies (muffled → open)
• Highpass - Removes low frequencies (thin → crisp)
• Bandpass - Only mid frequencies (telephone effect)
Filter Resonance (Q) - Boost at cutoff frequency. Higher = more "wow" sound
Reverb - Room/echo effect. 0% = dry, 100% = cathedral
Humanize - Timing randomness. Makes it feel less robotic
ADSR - Melody note envelope:
• Attack - How fast note starts
• Decay - Drop to sustain level
• Sustain - Volume while held
• Release - How fast note fades out

Pitch & Beat Tools

Transpose - Shift melody up/down in pitch. +12 = one octave up
Scale Lock - Force notes to stay in musical key. Enable for instant harmonies!
Beat Shift - Nudge pattern forward/backward by steps
Drums 2x / ½x - Double or half time for drums only
Melody 2x / ½x - Double or half time for melody only
Quantize Strength - Snap notes to grid. 100% = perfect timing
Accent (Velocity) - Volume of new notes you add
Generate Melody - Auto-create melody using current scale with genre-appropriate density and rests
Generate Drums - Auto-create drum pattern matching current genre
Story Mode - Melody follows song structure (intro→verse→chorus→bridge→outro) for musical storytelling with continuous flow
Melody Auto - Regenerate melody every X loops for endless variation
Drums Auto - Regenerate drums every X loops for evolving beats
Randomize Effects - Randomize reverb, filter, and effects within genre-appropriate ranges
Tune Synth & Filter - Auto-tune synth type, filter, and ADSR to optimal settings for the current genre

Study Mode

Loop Region - Focus on specific bars (e.g., bars 1-2)
A/B Compare - Save two versions and instantly switch between them
• Save A - Store current state as snapshot A
• Save B - Store current state as snapshot B
• Load A/B - Recall that snapshot

📝 Pattern Editor (Text-Based)

Write patterns using simple text commands:

drums: kick x---x--- | snare ----x--- | hat x-x-x-x-
melody: C4 q, E4 q, G4 h, r q

Drums: Use x for hit, - for rest
Melody: Note name + octave + duration
• Notes: C, C#, D, D#, E, F, F#, G, G#, A, A#, B
• Octave: 3-5 (C3 = low, C5 = high)
• Durations: w (whole), h (half), q (quarter), e (eighth), s (sixteenth)
• Rest: r + duration
Split bars: Use | to separate bar patterns

🎓 Advanced Tutorials

Create a Trap Beat

Load "Trap" preset (or key 6)
Set BPM to 140
Enable scale lock (F minor works well)
Click "Generate Melody" for bass line
Add hi-hat rolls: click rapid hat patterns in step sequencer
Add filter sweep: slowly lower Filter Cutoff during buildup

Create a House Beat

Load "Jersey Club" or "House Lite" preset
Set BPM to 124-130
Pattern: kick x---x---x---x--- (4-on-the-floor)
Set Swing to 5-10% for groove
Use sawtooth synth with lowpass filter
Generate melody, enable Auto Generate every 4 loops

Melody Tips

Stay in key: Enable Scale Lock before generating
Create tension: UseTranspose to shift melody up during chorus
Add variation: Enable Auto Generate for evolving melodies
Layer melodies: Generate once, manually add notes in different octave
Create call/response: Use A/B to save two different melodies

Sound Design Tricks

Buildup: Raise Filter Cutoff from 200Hz to 20kHz over 8 bars
Drop: Set cutoff to 20kHz, add resonance (Q) for "wow" sound
Pump sidechain: Turn Master Volume down on beat 1, up on beat 2
Riser effect: Double-time melody + increase reverb
Telephone voice: Use Bandpass filter, cutoff 1kHz, high Q
Dark/moody: Lowpass filter, cutoff below 500Hz

Working with Presets

Genre Guide (keys 1-0, then dropdown):

1-6: Hip-hop, Boom Bap, Jersey Club, UK Drill, House Lite, Lo-Fi
7-0: Future Bass, Techno, Dubstep, Reggaeton, Afrobeats
Dropdown: Phonk, Acid and more

Story Mode: Musical Storytelling

Story Mode makes melodies follow song structure, telling a musical story:

Intro - Sparse notes, building anticipation, mysterious
Verse - Narrating, steady flow, developing motifs
Chorus - Anthemic, memorable, octave jumps, emotional peak
Bridge - Building tension, dramatic, stepping up
Outro - Winding down, simpler, fading to silence

The song automatically progresses through sections every 4 loops. After ~32 loops, it heads to the outro and resets.

Create an Evolving Track (Auto-Generation)

Load a preset (try Dubstep for dramatic changes)
Enable Story Mode for musical progression
Enable Melody Auto (set to 4-8 loops)
Enable Drums Auto (set to 8-12 loops for slower evolution)
Press play and watch your track evolve organically
Use "Randomize Effects" occasionally for variety

Tip: Dubstep's new patterns include buildup→drop for authentic dubstep feels!

Create a Full Song Structure

Start with Story Mode enabled (begins in intro)
Let it run through 8-16 loops to establish verse→chorus
When bridge hits (watch console), add filter sweep for tension
Use A/B Compare to save your favorite chorus melody
As outro approaches, gradually lower Filter Cutoff
Export the final result as WAV

🎹 Step Sequencer Tips

Right-click steps to set velocity (loudness)
M/S buttons - Mute or Solo each track
Piano roll - Click to add/remove melody notes
Double-time - Makes that track play twice as fast
Half-time - Makes that track play half as fast
