I know what you mean! But lots of the time I find myself "designing" melodies rather then playing them... So for example, I'll play some chords on my keyboard, and as I'm holding down a chord I'll look at what chords im playing in the MIDI editor (in FL studio) and then draw out the notes... So I find that lots of times I actually draw or make melodies with my computer rather then playing them all by keyboard.
It may sound a bit odd, but it works for me. It's sort of like a hybrid of experimenting with notes on the keyboard and then readjusting them in a DAW. Or just using my keyboard as a reference to what notes are being pressed as I'm playing a nice sounding chord, then I'll draw them out in my DAW as I'm holding the keys down.
Does that make sense?
