Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat
What is Gross Beat?
A
- Gross Beat is a real-time, audio-stream playback, pitch, position and volume manipulation effect.
- -Gross Beat stores audio in a 2-bar rolling buffer controlled by 36 time and 36 volume mapping envelopes for easy beat-synced glitch, stutter, repeat, scratching and gating effects.
- –Alternatives to Gross Beat are Wave Traveller & Fruity Scratcher, however, these work on samples rather than a live audio stream.
2
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat - Main Options
Click reduction
A
- Reduces clicks caused by discontinuities in volume between the ‘jump-from’ and ‘jump-to’ locations.
- -For the best results you may need to apply manual ‘click reduction’.
- –Briefly ramp the volume down to zero to coincide with the point at which the Time Envelope relocates the playback position.
- —Step the volume back to normal at or a fraction after the jump.
3
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat - Main Options
Smoothing attack compensation
A
- Compensates for the small period of silence at Time Envelope relocation events caused by manually applied volume smoothing envelopes.
- -Selecting this option will move the Time Envelope forward slightly so that attack transients are not lost when the Volume Envelope ramps down.
4
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat - Main Options
Remove DC offset
A
-Removes output offsets/biases when playback is stopped (e.g. when the Time Mapping envelope matches the angle of the Safety line).
5
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat - Main Options
HQ resampling
A
-Adaptive ‘sinc interpolation’ algorithm which improves the audio quality of pitch-shifted audio at the expense of increased CPU load.
6
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat - Main Options
View scratching clock
A
- Shows the scratching dial.
- -To scratch, click on the clock-dial and move your mouse up/down. Right-click to link to external or internal controllers.
- –NOTE: If the Scratching Clock is hidden and Gross Beat is put into Compact Mode (drag to the left on the right edge of the Mapping Envelope area, until the plugin compacts OR for the VST version use the ‘Resize’ menu option), then a small mapping envelope will display here.
7

FL STUDIO - Gross Beat
Envelope Mapping Panel
Edit a slot mapping envelope
A
-Select the slot by clicking it with your mouse. Edit the associated mapping envelope in the panel to the right.

—Move a slot - Right-click the slot button and select Move slot left Move slot right from the popup menu OR hold CTRL to swap the selected slot with the next slot clicked.
Rename a slot - Left-click on the slot name in the bottom-left corner of the Mapping area (as shown in the screenshot above) OR click on the slot with the middle-mouse button.
14
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat
Envelope Mapping Panel
Width vs height
A
- The mapping panel is 4 beats (1 bar) wide and 8 beats (2 bars) high.
- -This means it is possible to step back up to 8 beats (2 bars) from the current playback position, as long as the audio buffer is full (i.e. the plugin has received at least 2 bars of audio).
15
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat
Envelope Mapping Panel
Safety line
A
-The single dark ‘Safety Line’ cuts across the first 4 beats. The Safety Line shows the safe area for mapping envelopes during the first bar of a song. The area above the Safety Line (and behind the position of the Playback Locator) has buffered audio while the area below does not. If the Time mapping envelope goes below the Safety Line before the time-marker reaches that point, silence will be heard (or is that Gross Beat implodes creating an EMP, causing satellites to fall out of the sky? I can’t remember, you will just have to experiment). While it’s not shown, imagine the Safety Line continues down to the end of the second bar.
If you need to start a song with a full audio buffer add two pre-song bars (with audio, of course) and start with a Volume mapping envelope flat-lining line along the bottom of the Mapping Area, so the pre-bars won’t be heard. After two bars have played then any mapping curve is safe. Bear in mind that if you move into a new section of the song, change from verse to chorus for example, the previous two bars will be stored in the buffer and may not match the audio needed for the new section until another two bars have passed.
16
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat
Envelope Mapping Panel
Reverse guides
A
- The multiple grey diagonal lines show the slope required to effect a normal speed reverse playback.
- -Slopes steeper than this line will play fast reverse, shallower will be slow reverse, depending on the angle of the line.
- –NOTE: You can change the slope in semitone units using the Mapping Options menu (select the right-most point defining a slope and apply the 1 semitone up / down function).
17
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat
Envelope Mapping Panel
How can you change the slope in semitones?
A

18
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat

Normal speed playback (+100%)
A
- Horizontal mapping segments play forward at normal speed.
- -The Hold envelope is useful for creating horizontal segments.
19
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat
Envelope Mapping Panel
Fast / Slow playback
A
- Straight sloping mapping segments will change playback speed (pitch).
- -Slopes upward from left to right play faster (higher pitch), while slopes downward from left to right play slower (lower in pitch).
- –Use the Single curve envelope mode for straight sloping mapping segments (reset the tension handle to straighten the curve if required).
- —The slope angle adjusts speed - playback becomes progressively slower with increased downward angle.
- —-When the slope matches the Safety line angle, playback will pause.
- —–If the slope angle is steeper than the Safety line angle, playback will reverse, reaching ‘normal speed (pitch)’ reverse playback when the angle matches the Reverse guides.
- ——A tool in the Mapping Area Options Menu lets you add or subtract slope in semi-tone units (select the right-most point defining a slope and apply the function).
20
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat
Envelope Mapping Panel
Reverse playback (-100%)
A
- Match the slope of the Reverse guides for ‘normal speed reverse’ playback.
- -Slopes steeper than the guides will play fast reverse (see diagram right).
- –Use the Single curve envelope mode for constant pitch slopes (reset the tension handle to straighten the curve if required).
- —There us a useful tool in the Mapping Area Options Menu that can add or subtract slope angle in semi-tone units (select the right-most point defining a slope and apply the function).
21
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat
Envelope Mapping Panel

23
Q
FL STUDIO - Gross Beat
Envelope Mapping Panel
Pause playback (0%)
A
- Match the slope of the Safety Line (see diagram right) with a straight Single curve envelope.
- -This will pause playback for the duration of the slope.
- –Alternatively, use a stepped envelope mapping with these slopes for tuned/harmonic effects.

FREEZE
- Enable this switch to lock the envelope curve to its current setup.
- -This feature is helpful if you've finished changing the spline structure of an envelope and want to protect it from accidental edits (it also hides the handles, providing a clear view of the shape).

STEP
- Enable this option to set the editor in step editing mode - drag in the editor to create a "free hand" curve where a new control point is defined for every step in the timeline.
- -Hold SHIFT key while dragging to draw "pulse" lines (straight vertical/horizontal lines only). Note that each new segment created this way uses the last tension set while adding a segment.

INPUT ENVELOPE FOLLOWER (IEF)
- This section allows you to set up the Input Envelope Follower.
- -The IEF acts as a modulation source and is based on the amplitude of the input waveform.

INPUT ENVELOPE FOLLOWER (IEF)
Understanding the IEF, what is IEF?
- Think of the IEF window as a dB/peak meter rotated on its side, increasing in volume from left to right (this is indicated by the increasing vertical ticks along the bottom of the IEF window).
- -As the volume peaks of the input signal move across the window (there is no visual feedback, by the way), the IEF returns modulation values so that envelopes above the mid-line of the graph area are positive and envelopes below the mid-line are a negative.

INPUT ENVELOPE FOLLOWER (IEF)
How does IEF Work?
- The ief output values act on the currently selected 'Editor Target' tabs in the row above the modulation source tabs (the row the IEF tab is on).
- -In this way there is a unique IEF envelope for each modulation target tab in the row above.
- --Use the 'Env Amount' knob to define the maximum and minimum modulation values passed to the target controls.
- ---Finally, pay careful attention to the Attack (ATT) and Release (REL) knobs to the right side of the plugin (this section) in order to achieve the correct modulation effect.
- ----These controls act to control the peak dynamics (hold and fade) and determine how quickly the output peak is reached and held after the input peak has passed.
