Maximize your songwriting and easily create interesting variations of your ever-evolving melody by using Liquid Music’s Harmony and Rhythm tools simultaneously.

A WEALTH OF INSPIRING PRESETS
Liquid Music includes a collection of presets that are guaranteed to inspire new song ideas. Use them to create original ideas and rich harmonies in seconds. Or customize each preset by swapping different “layers” for nearly limitless possibilities. Each combination holds the promise of a new song…or a thousand. So start exploring and making new music in a new kind of way.
FIVE LAYERS OF MUSICAL CONTROL
ADVANCED TOOLS FOR MUSIC PRODUCTION
Liquid Music separates music into different parts or “layers” that you can tweak and customize to build the perfect track. Each layer offers unique tools for morphing and evolving your music until it’s just right. Check out the different layers and tools below:
SKETCH
Sketch is where all the layers come together into one intuitive musical shape. Simply click and drag to create original harmonies, spark new song ideas and draw the shape of your music. Want your music to build? Draw a cresting peak. How about a big EDM drop? Plunge your mouse down and draw a valley. And if you don’t like what you hear, just erase and start crafting your next idea in seconds.
KEY
The key of your song impacts more than the notes—it determines what “mood” your track will have. Will it be an upbeat frolic through flower pastures with a major scale? A forlorn dirge in a minor key? Or maybe a trippy experimental journey of exotic tones with Ultralocrian or Phrygian b5 modes? Liquid Music has them all—and more. You can even transpose (move the notes up and down) to better suit your vocalist—no music theory degree required.
CHORDS
Chords are an important part of every song. But with hundreds to choose from, how do you pick the right ones? Lucky for you, the Liquid Music Chords Layer provides two powerful tools for finding the perfect chords.
Chord Suggester
The WaveDNA team journeyed deep into the land of known progressions and packaged them into the Chord Suggester—a tool that recommends complimentary chord changes and helps you build progressions. It’s an awesome tool…it better be…some of the team never made it out.
Chord Sequencer
Think of this tool like a drum sequencer—except for chords. It’s the easiest and fastest way to create clever chord progressions without hours of frustrating trial and error. Just pick a chord to start, and then choose complimentary chords from the recommended list. Or select chords at random—sometimes the chords you least expect can create the defining sound for your song.
VOICES
The more voices you use, the richer and more complicated the melodies and chords will be. Use the Voices Layer panel to add just the right amount of harmony. Even customize how thick the harmonies are at specific parts of the song and create cascading arpeggios. You can also import a melody into Liquid Music and use the Voices Layer to add harmony to it. It’s your music, your choice, and your voice.
RHYTHM
Rhythm. You either have it or you don’t, right? Not anymore. Liquid Music’s Rhythm Layer includes a host of tools based on our acclaimed Liquid Rhythm software—so you can experiment with new beats and add the right groove to your song. Customize your beats with tools for adjusting note duration, velocity, timing effects and more.
You’ll be able to create unique, elaborate beats using note patterns and clusters—entire bars at a time. Browse the extensive list of rhythmic patterns to add rhythm in seconds.
CREATE SONG IDEAS IN SECONDS
SKETCH. EXPLORE. CREATE.
Crafting original song ideas with Liquid Music couldn’t be easier. Sketch shapes and explore unique melodies to get your creativity flowing and set a direction for your music. Dial in the perfect groove and beat with the rhythm features. Then polish your idea by taking control of the musical layers—change keys to evoke a different mood, add harmonies, alter the rhythm to humanize the performance, and more. How you want to create is up to you, Liquid Music just helps you do it a whole lot faster.
