But the more I looked into it the more I realised that it’s a MIDI loop creator that’ll give you a song like holding one finger chords on a home keyboard with auto-accompaniment gives you a song – and I then realised I’m more of a musical snob than I thought. But I kind of assumed that it would work within my DAW, within my workflow where it might suggest a change that I hadn’t thought of or give me a fresh take on something. When I started looking at Odesi I was pretty upbeat about it – I appreciate tools that are going to make my life easier and the underlying philosophy of Odesi is that it helps you try stuff out quickly and easily. You can edit the patterns and rhythms and make adjustments so that you don’t have to end up sounding like everyone else – although probably the point is to sound like everyone else, to sound like a hit record, to follow the beats of what’s been successful in order to give you a similarly successful track. You can, of course, then dial in a drum pattern to fit with the overall groove, add a melody line and before you know it your track is pumping and the room is jumping to your awesome musical talent. Apparently they’ve analyzed some of the biggest hits in music and pulled out a bunch of rhythms that were commonly used. The sounds come from VST or AU instruments.Īlong with the automatic chord progressions and basslines you can also select from a palette of rhythmic patterns. But then why play anything yourself when you can get Odesi to randomly throw in a chord progression based on the chosen key – I guess it’s a lot like auditioning loops but where you have a lot more control over the sound. You can lock to different key signatures and harmonic modes helping you to never play a bum note. You can then select a chord or chords and quickly shift them around by choosing different chords and progressions from a menu. You might start out recording some chords and Odesi will recognise those and add a simple bassline to follow. Essentially it’s a MIDI sequencer focused on creating looped patterns for traditional verse and chorus song structures. Odesi sees itself as the beginning of your musical journey, a place to come up with the guts of your next hit record ready for finishing in your chosen DAW.
