I'm reading all of this stuff and I never realised how much theory was behind it all! This may be a silly question but isn't it all just putting in to words what comes naturally or am I just lucky in that respect?
Is it a melody from an actual song? If so, you can always look for and download the midi file.
that would only help if the song were accurately transcribed into that midi file
in my experience a lot of midi files created/transcribed by unknowns are less than accurate - I am talking in terms of 30 years of assessing midi files with 90% being less than stellar (in excess of 100000 files listened to)....
in transcription circles (those who do it professionally for money) it is said that the best one can hope for is about 95% accuracy as there will always be something missed, either deliberately or accidentally, or perhaps hidden in the mix.
not a composer. just a producer trying a find a solution of this prob. so here i have a melody, i cant find the chord progression to it. is there any formula or tricks that can determines the chord progression of a piece of melody please let me know
Big difference between midi's having 100% accuracy down to detecting things hidden in the mix.....and getting the proper melody from a song via midi.
Big difference.
