What do you do when

You get the majority of your beat finished, then hit the wall!

I started in the opposite direction then I typically would: laid down a solid bass line, some nice drums, and then stared at my computer screen with no melody coming to mind...nothin, even got some lyrics inspired by the bass line but no melody

Just put in a bunch of bleeps and blops....maybe an sound effect or two

[Hepta]

Try jam it out. Make an arrangement. Could trigger new ideas perhaps.

[beats me]

Time to start flippin through presets.

Maybe picking up something like NI's The Mouth- would b helpful at times like this....
