Now you get access to the entire keyboard of notes to play.

You can do this as many times as you like, simply by selecting the Clone option, so rinse and repeat! Name it Bass Synth. Now you can simply click on each Pattern to change from one to the other on playback. Make some variations of the beats in the new Pattern 2. This opens a new Pattern 2 with identical beats. So you have one Pattern of beats with the sounds you are happy with. Alternatively you can change the preloaded sounds very dramatically by employing some of the pitch, filter and other effects. This will take you to individual samples supplied for FL Studio or you can select your own audio to load. Then under the File section of the window that pops up, click the folder icon. To delete a beat click with Control or right click. To play it back, make sure the Pat icon is on highlighted and hit Play to hear your beats. Creating a Pattern is simply a matter of clicking on a beat. Working with Patterns in FL Studio You get four sounds - kick, clap, hay and snare - four bars of each, with four beats per bar. Join us for part 3 then, and in the meantime check out our review of FL Studio 20 here. Again, you could simply use the step sequencer to fill notes in but a more flexible approach brings in the Piano Roll editor that allows you to record in notes either by drawing or playing them in.Īs we show, moving the bass onto the same track as the beats makes no difference as each Pattern will play the same thing no matter where you put it on the Playlist. After perfecting our sounds and beats, we move onto adding a synth bass. Many traditional DAW owners will be acutely aware that looping beats is the scourge of modern music production, but this pattern-based approach allows you to quickly and easily introduce some much-needed variation. It allows you to quickly build up a library of different patterns simply by duplicating existing ones and then editing them for some variation. In Part 1 we introduced the five main areas within FL Studio - the Browser for your samples, sounds, instruments, effects and so on the Channel Rack with Patterns for beats and notes the Playlist where the song arrangement comes together the Piano Roll editor and finally the Mixer. We are assuming that you have used other DAWs before although that is not essential so the idea of these tutorials is to show you how FL Studio may do things differently - but still simply - compared to ways you might be used to in other DAWs.
