Introduction

Hello everyone! MusicBeats here, and today I'm going to show you a simple melody you can use to make dark trap beats. We'll be working in FL Studio and sticking to the A minor scale, using nothing but the white keys. Let's dive in and craft an awesome melody step-by-step.

Setup

First, open FL Studio and load F4 keys. For this tutorial, we're exclusively using the white keys, focusing on the A minor scale.

Melody Creation

  1. Initial Notes:

    • Start at A5.
    • Place a note right next to it.

  2. Descending by Semitones:

    • Move down five semitones and place a note at E.

  3. Half Step Notes:

    • Identify the half-step notes, which are C and P. Add these notes to your melody.

  4. Duplicating Patterns:

    • Use the command Ctrl + B to duplicate the pattern and Shift to move it over.

Adding Bass Notes

  • Add base notes at A and E to build a foundation for your melody.

Top Notes

  • Layer your melody further by adding top notes:
    • Use notes C, E, D, and F.

Channel Rack and Effects

    • Navigate to your channel rack and set it to track to slot 4.

  2. Gross Beat Setup:
