Also, can I assign individual samples to individual notes in a Piano Roll?

Try the "Layer" channel type. The notes will be named after you 'Set Children.' If you want to use pitch try the "note pitch" on bottom of the Piano roll. You might have to select it by right clicking the dash on the left, its usually set to velocity.

hmmm any chance of an elaboration (for da nation) ?

This is for FL8 and beyond, in the playlist /sequencer area there is 2 places you can input your pattens - in the blocks (where it has patten 1 - 0290329 going down) or the blank canvas where the automation clips go..you can put your pattens and audio clips there.

yeah but WHY is it fasta

Fuck knows I use both, I use the top for audio / pattens what're playing throughout and use the blocks for stuff whats changing around lots.

same. i use just the clips for automation, vocals and midi notes. i guess you can do LFO there too but i'm not really 100% sure how. the pattern bars are definitely easier on your eyes when you're doing 4/4 to me though.

Why do some samples not change pitch when you use them in the piano roll?

on the channel settings for the sample, right click the "time" knob and click "none".

i think it is easier because of the make unique feature cause then you can clone a drum pattern all at once to a new pattern and edit it for fills and what not that way my drum patterns sound similar with subtle differences

right click selected pattern name -> clone pattern ? same ting

great thread cheers guys

lol that's what i was thinking, i hope he was aware of this. poor guy if not.


my question:
is it possible to use a layer channel, to play different synths independtly out of one piano roll?
for example, if C4-Cb4 played C-Cb in Massive1 then C5-Cb5 played C-Cb in Massive 2? just to make ridiculous wobbling less laborious?

no i was not and as for your question y took two separate 3xosc patch's and linked them to a layer channel and them split the children then set the range of one to C5 Cb5 and the other to C6 Cb6 them set the root note of the one at C6 to c 6 and that work so i could play both through my keyboard

jsilver's easy triplets

based on http://www.cjmmachinery.com/FL/ at the end

Say we are going to do 8th note triplets. This is 3 notes in the space of two eighth notes. In FL, each note in a beat is divided into 24 subdivisions from 0 to 23. This is why the tick counter goes to 95 for a beat.

4 notes * 24 subdivisions = 96 ticks

Since 2 eighth notes is 1 beat, and we want to fit 3 notes there, we divide the number of ticks by 3.

96 ticks / 3 = 32

This means we want a space of 32 ticks between note 1, 2 and 3.

Here are some pictures to help.






As he said in his tutorial, you can just select the first three and shift drag to fill the pattern. Duration is just the length of the note. A value of 24 is a 1/16th note on 4/4 time. This math will work for any triplet you want. Enjoy!

cool thing i found to get a nice oscilloscope in fl is to use wave candy on the master with these settings

wave candy is no way as cool as your background if that was my background i would stair at it and zone out

haha thanks i made it

I've gotten so used to doing this this I end up trying to use FL hotkeys in Windows to no avail.

decreased my idle cpu useage from 70 to zero lol. should be on automatically i think

Although I've used Ctrl + Shift + C before, I took it a step further after reading this and copied my bass like four times, altering it each.


Good shout

I write most of my synths in 3xosc, but there's only so much you can do with 3 oscillators, does FL have anything with more oscillators that I don't have to buy? I use Reason and Ableton as well, but I'm learning how to use FL right now and was just wondering.
