Yamaha Mobile Music Sequencer Melody

I was wondering if any of you who use Yamaha Mobile Music Sequencer ever approach melody creation in the sequencer if you do how do you do it? I'm not very clear on the types of playback ( melody) (melody1) (chord) (chord1) bypass etc... could someone enlighten me. Thanks.

  • I haven't used it for a while, but I seem to recall that you can play a complete melody over the chord backing track, ie. Across a number of different patterns as you would in a normal DAW.

  • MMS is based around the idea of having phrases to which you can then apply different chord changes.
    You can specify what sort of phrase is which and MMS tailors its adjustments to the notes entered according to the following rules.

    From the manual.
    Melody1
    This type limits the effect of chord changes, making it ideal for melodic phrases. In specific terms, the phrase will be converted or transposed based on the chord types and roots set for the section.

    Melody2
    As above, this type also limits the effect of chord changes and is ideal for melodic phrases. In response to chord changes, Mobile Music Sequencer shifts the phrase’s notes as little as possible for smoother chord progressions.

    Chord1
    This type significantly changes the phrase, making it ideal
    for backing tracks. In specific terms, the phrase will be converted or transposed based on the chord types and roots set for the section.

    Chord2
    As above, this type also significantly changes the phrase and is ideal for backing tracks. In response to chord changes, Mobile Music Sequencer shifts the phrase’s notes as little as possible for smoother chord progressions.

    Bass
    This type is ideal for bass phrases.
    Bypass
    When this type is selected, the phrase is unaffected by chord changes. As such, it is perfect for drum phrases.

    Para
    This type causes the entire phrase to be transposed based on the new chord’s root note, but the chord type is ignored. As such, it is suitable for phrases that already include chord changes.

    It's also possible to just use it as a normal piano roll in which case it will just replay what ever melody you recorded/input.

    A couple of years ago, Miki Strange uploaded a 7 part video tutorial series on the Yamaha MMS app.
