Wow! Talk about a lot of great responses! Thanks for that! Gotta love this forum! smile

Actually, I have someone I am working with that understand the scale side of music theory very well. Where he struggles is coming up with motifs. Then tend to go MUCH longer than you would ever sing. There isn't a whole lot that recognizable from repetition, and when it does, it's mostly by accident.

He is trying to learn how to develop short phrases/hooks. To me, it seems like he is mostly lacking the rhythmic side of things. When to stop a phrase, how much space to use, when to repeat, when to deviate. That is an art all on it's own.

So, I had the idea of just taking the midi vocal track of songs he likes and putting them all on a single note and percussion sound. Then he can visually appreciate what is going on. I strongly feel, he would see the rhythmic patterns and variations pretty easily.

Right now he is just too caught up in hearing what note it is.

That being said, the short version is I am looking for a simple way to move all of the notes in a melody to a sing note.

I thought I remembered seeing in some program, possibly rb, that you could select an entire line of midi notes on a single pitch and move them to any other pitch. So we would just have to do that for each note in the scale. That would be fine. I just don't remember what program on saw it on. Similar to how you could select a whole line of ride cymbal notes and drag them to the hi-hat line.

Any ideas?

Thanks again!
