Summary
Turn learning core concepts of music composition into a seriously addictive game with Melodics.
Don't worry - Melodics is here to gamify all the essential core concepts and teach you how to keep rhythm, play popular styles of drum beats, and even how to improvise like a pro.
If you've ever played a rhythm game, like Dance Dance Revolution, Guitar Hero, or Rock Band, you'll already understand how Melodics works.
Melodics is compatible with plenty of midi controllers, including the Midi Fighter 3D, which is what we used.
It's compatible with keyboard-style controllers as well, which means Melodics can be used to teach you the basics of piano playing, too.
A sample of some of the lessons available for Melodics users.
Melodics is designed to teach you several different things, depending on the device you pair it with.
If you're using a pad- or button-style midi controller, like a Midi Fighter or drum pad, Melodics can teach you how to interface with your device.
If you're using a piano-style keyboard, Melodics will teach you how to position your hands to play music properly.
While your mileage may vary, if you're already familiar with Rockband or Guitar Hero, you'll probably take to Melodics with minimal effort.
