BITWIG: Set up

In Bitwig you simply load Melody Sauce 2 as a VST3 (or VST2) plugin onto its own MIDI channel. Locate Melody Sauce 2 in the Device menu and double click on it to open.

Note: be sure to use the VST version, and not the AU/Audio Unit.

The authorisation window will appear.  Enter your license/serial key to authorise Melody Sauce 2 (this requires an internet connection).  See Authorisation Guide for more details.

Once authorised, the Melody Sauce 2 interface should appear and the plugin is ready for use!

NB: MIDI ROUTING SETUP

If you don't want to use Melody Sauce's internal sounds you can send Melody Sauce's midi to another software instrument.

Firstly select "MIDI OUT" mode.

On a second Instrument Track loaded with one of your favourite software instruments, route MIDI by clicking All Ins and selecting Melody Sauce 2 from the menu.

Then finally make sure the track is armed

Make sure your project is playing and we recommend looping playback for at least 8 bars so you can hear the whole melody. Note: A fast, long melody would be 8 bars long and a long, slow melody would be 16 bars long.

You are now ready to start generating melodies!
