FL5 IS EXCEPTIONAL

[Spe3D]

Another for the automation clips, they are sooooooooo sexy, the drawable LFO is just a dream come true

Its open to all sorts of new creativity now for sure

If you layer a few synths and automate them, and automate the automation – the sounds you can get are truly out of this world, pad creation heaven for a start.

What really pisses ppl off abpout FL is.....


The fact that they have spent sooooo much money in different apps before they found FL and now they have no use for any of them

What a stupid comment.

I have both FL and Cubase (Sx2). I like to work with both but I can't even imagine working without Cubase.

It's a question of choice, of utility and of preference. Now to all the people who start flamewars about which sequencer is best I say this : I don't give a damn about what other people use and which Sequencer is best. The goal is to make music and to achieve this goal you need a sequencer.

Find the one that fits best to you and leave other people with their choice. In the end it is your creativity that counts, not the sequencer.

Some of the features I like in the channel settings is the ability to layer, so if I have two albino instruments plus one rhino and one Z3ta – I can have them all playing from one score created in the piano roll, all with their own key range etc.

never tried this before - it's damn cool!

It is - and you can save the layers as presets And export projects split into Automation, FX, Scores, etc. So you can drag any number of cool parts into new projects.

OK just tried fruity again - all these good vibes got me

And watcha know i discovered how to use it in cubase as a vst - but outputting midi to drive battery - yeah i know its a fudge but i like being able to freeze stuff and its still nicer than a drum editor

so ive got my midi out set to 10 and i can get clicks - but i want to change the note played on each channel - so i right click on the mini keyboard - fine

except it doesnt make the note what i click on - its changing the root note of a sample or something - is there another way to get the out from a channel (midi out) set to a specific note ?

Right click on the top of the mini keybord in a channel sets the root, left click sets the playable range – also if you have cubase you may find some versions wont work with the FL vsti until the service pack – (no sound being one of them)

If you are tying to get sound out of a midi out channel – you wont get any unless you set the port to the same as another vsti’s port setting etc.

sorry im not explaining myself well again

ive got all that range and right click stuff and ive got the midi out driving battery

my problem is say the battery kits big kick is on c1 - if i right click on c1 on the little piano on the fruity channel it actually plays back on c7 - now this makes perfect sense if i was playing samples - as c1 is the root note and so the corresponding midi out is higher so that the sound remains the same

but seeing as im not setting the root note for a sample its a little annoying - i just want the pattern to be outputting on a given note - i have a work round tho - i basically keep right clicking till i get the sound i want !

just wondering if their is an easier way ?

just discovered the peak controller - now to get my mind round the formula thingie

[superddman]

"Switch smart disable" helps alot. Thanks for that advice. However, other then bouncing the tracks, there is no other way to limit cpu usage? What about FX Freeze? Can that work in FL Studio?

Sounds like you just want to change the note that the step sequencer is outputting. In that case you can:

1) Change the root note on the channel settings window. This is a little tricky. The step sequencer outputs on c5 by default, so you'll need to do some thinking to figure out how to shift the root note (also at C5 by default) so the default C5 in the step sequencer is the note you want. Easiest way to think about it is that if the step sequencer is outputting at C5, and you change the root note from C5 to C6, the step sequencer will start outputting at C4, since you've essentially shifted the step sequencer one octave below what it was before.

Or, the (much) easier way...

2) Press the little piano button on top right corner of the step sequencer to show the mini-keyboards on the step sequencer. There you can alter the pitch of each step. So if you want the midi out to output an A4 for each step, just select A4 on the little mini pianos for each step. Downside is you need to do that for each step.

Or... (just thought of this)

3) Use the "Pitch" knob on top of the channel settings window. I think you can use this to pitch down or up by 2 octaves. If you don't know how to convert cents to notes, you'll just have to go by ear. But 100 cents is equal to one octave.

Hope this helps.

Of course, an even easier way would be to just ditch Battery and Cubase and do it all in FL.

Yup, that works!

Well how stupid of you to take it serious and personal when I was just making a funny comment

Automation clips are an intrigueing enhancement.

Seen this mentioned a few times, care to explain what this is exactly?

Krim,

For the type of music and instruments you use, FL Studio would definitely open up some new possibilities that are more difficult if not impossible in Orion.

Also, I finally overcame my aversion to the pattern layout in FL and now like it much better than Orion. It was just a matter of familiarity. Both programs are obviously powerful, and I've made my fair share of tracks in Orion, but FL has several features and workflow issues that are just outstanding in comparison to anything else I've used. The native EQ is discernably better, with a much more visually oriented sweepable mid display.

Plus, having the ability to quickly substitute one instrument for another without having to copy and replace note data is so much nicer to me. Hope you give it a try.

FL 5 is nice , i told you i like it , but no program is 100% good.

I 'still' can't figure out how this seemingly simple thing is done Anybody?

As a long time Fruity user but by no means poweruser I am puzzled and intrigued by the meaning of your statement. How does one automate automation?
