Roland Corporation<\/strong> today announced Melody Flip<\/strong>, an artificial intelligence-powered melody-generation application, created in collaboration with Sony Computer Science Laboratories.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roland says that their view is that AI tools should not replace the musician, but should instead as a partner to ‘amplify’ human intent, taste, and creativity.<\/p>\n

Melody Flip puts this philosophy into practice by letting you import an audio file and automatically analyze its musical DNA, including the structure, BPM, key, chord progression, genre, mood, and more. It then pairs the analysis with a library of about 300 ‘creative palettes’ (predefined musical styles and tonal directions) to help you generate new melodic ideas. You can then pick, tweak, chop, or rebuild the new melodic ideas however you want.<\/p>\n

Roland says that the result is a new kind of production workflow, where humans and software work side by side to bring music to life.<\/p>\n

Powered by Sony CSL\u2019s Expertise in AI-Assisted Music Creation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Melody Flip incorporates technologies derived from Sony CSL\u2019s research in AI-assisted music creation.<\/p>\n

For example, Melody Flip extracts musical elements, including structure, BPM, beat positions, key, chord progression, genre, and mood, from the imported audio file and recommends suitable creative palettes based on its characteristics.<\/p>\n

This functionality not only supports the generation of new melodic ideas but also helps creators visually understand the song\u2019s structure and key, ultimately improving workflow efficiency.<\/p>\n

Seamless Integration with Leading DAWs<\/strong><\/p>\n

Melody Flip will be available for macOS and Windows as a plug-in that will work within standard DAWs. Users can export generated melodies, as well as chord, bass, and drum parts, in both audio and MIDI formats.<\/p>\n

Pricing and Availability:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Melody Flip<\/strong> will be available via Roland Cloud Manager in May 2026. Pricing is to be announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
