Generative Berlin School Vibes – A Sequencing Trick You Should Try!
In this video, I’ll show you a simple but powerful sequencing technique that creates evolving, generative melodies from just one synth and one note per loop.
Inspired by Berlin School electronic music, I use multiple MIDI clips—each playing a single note but looping at different lengths—to trigger one synth. The result? Constantly shifting, surprising patterns that sound alive.
You'll also learn how to:
✅ Use probability and chance to make your sequences more expressive
✅ Build a generative performance setup for quick track ideas
✅ Turn simple loops into deep, melodic sequences
✅ Create movement without touching your gear once it’s playing
Whether you're using a DAW or external gear, this idea is easy to set up and endlessly creative. Perfect for ambient, modular, Berlin School, or generative music lovers!
🎛 Works great with:
- Hardware or software synths
- Any DAW (Ableton Live, Bitwig, FL Studio, etc.)
- Step sequencers and MIDI tools
