Simple Pitch Modulation
An easy tip to add variations to your main melody with a song is to modulate the pitch of the sound by increments of an octave. This simple technique can add movement to your music without doing much at all. It's also very helpful if you're not a fluent keyboard player.
By modulating the pitch by intervals of an octave your melodies will always remain in the same key as opposed to modulating the pitch to other intervals. The example in this video uses an Ensoniq ASR X Drum Machine/Sampler but most Synthesizers or Samplers can be used for this application.
In addition you can modulate the pitch via midi with a standard modulation device e.g. (foot pedal modulation/pitch bend wheel etc.)
How to do this:
Most samplers and synthesizer have a pitch control section where the pitch of a waveform can be altered. This section will usually allow you to change the pitch of a sound in three basic ways.
1. By the octave (12 semitones or 1200 cents)
2. By semi-tones (1/12th of an octave or 100 cents)
3. By cents (2 1/1200th of an octave)
Now choosing to alter the pitch by an octave during your musical performance (whether live or pre-programmed) will vary your main melody easily within the same key.
Therapeutic & Psycho acoustical Benefits
This is perceived as a sense of movement by the human ear and is understood as positive stimulation by the human brain. In short your listeners will always find this trick interesting as it causes the listener to actively and easily follow the playful movement of your music. This type of stimulation can has a similar effect on the brain as watching an interesting visual or feeling stimulating touch."

"Jupiter-8, improv. My attempt at a classical composition in 3/4 time at 199bpm. The patch is a preset (#31) that has been edited, I shortened the ADSR's release time as well as the attack time to make for a staccato string sound.
Please enjoy :)

Korg Sigma vintage analog synth
via this auction
"Pre-set synth by Korg circa 1970s. 11 "instrument" presets and 8 "synthe" tab presets. Plenty of info available on the www. Mono out together with various input and output jacks on the back for VCO, envelope and filter. The names of the instrument voices only are suggestive of real instruments, however one can obtain interesting and unusual sounds by mixing them together. The joysticks are particularly effective, you can control both simultaneously with your thumb and little finger on your left hand, e.g. the pitch bend for an instrument voice and the filter frequency for a synthe voice. This creates some pretty psychedelic effects. The sample and hold on the synthe section sounds particularly effective. The filter on the synthe section also sounds particularly effective, supposedly it is based on the MS-20. Here are some caveats for this particular instrument: the "trumpet" instrument voice and the "hammered percussion" instrument voice do not appear to work. The "mix" dial between the instrument and synthe voices is slightly scratchy. The two joysticks do not have knobs on the top. I cannot discern the functions of the "quarter tone," "multiple trigger" or "keyboard sensor" tabs on the FX bank; they may work in connection with the jacks on the back, or not work. The light above the "quarter tone" effect control is pushed in. One of the rubber hole-stopper inserts is missing on the back top. There are light scratches to top bottom front back sides as depicted. This may originally have come with a "music stand" attachment; if so, it's not included. There is a slight discoloration on the 3rd "C" key."
