FL Manual 2 Wrapper/Automation/Piano Roll Flashcards

Question

FL STUDIO Automation Clip Settings Tension (TENS)

Answer 1

-Sets the LFO shape 'tension', a shape morph for tuning the exact LFO shape - starting with square (pulse), sine, triangle and 'pulse'.

Answer 2

-Skews the LFO shape. Together with triangle shape, the skew can be used to create saw and reversed saw LFO shapes.

Answer 3

-Sets the width of the LFO shape.

Answer 4

-Sets the LFO amplitude (strength). Set it to the middle position to reset level to 0 and effectively disable the LFO. Turn it left for negative amplitude (inverted values) or right for positive amplitude.

Answer 5

- Allows you to combine the LFO values with the 'main' spline envelope of the Automation Clip. - -When the switch is enabled the two values will be multiplied, i.e. the LFO acts as an amplitude modulator for the envelope. ---This is useful for unipolar (one directional) properties such as cutoff frequency, volume, etc. When the switch is disabled both values are added together, i.e. like an LFO 'offsetting' the envelope. This is useful for bipolar parameters such as panning.

Answer 6

-The Layer Channel does not make sound, it passes note data from its Piano roll and controller input to any linked Channels (child channels)

Answer 7

- By assigning unique keyboard regions to each child. - -Left-click and drag on the keyboard to define the key region. Once created, edit the region limits by dragging the end points. - --You can include an Envelope Controller as one of the children and use it to automate the crossfade control. Here imagination is key, think horizontal (keyboard) and vertical (velocity, modulation, etc.) layering.

Answer 8

-Random ON: A single, random, Channel in the Layer will play.

Answer 9

- Random ON: A single, random, Channel in the Layer will play. - -And when you play chords, it will play a selection of SOME of the layers but not all. - -ALSO, you can set Non Random, but Crossfade and automation clip the crossfade.

Answer 10

- The Fade knob (below) will crossfade between two or more Channels in the Layer. - -If, for example, you have 3 Layer Channels turning the Fade knob from left to right will sound: Child1 \> Child1+Child2 \> Child2 \> Child2+Child3 \> Child3. - --Channels are faded from top (knob left) to bottom (knob right) in the Channel Rack. - ---NOTE: Crossfading only works with FL Studio native format plugins, it does not work with VST/AU plugins.

Answer 11

- Assign multiple children with different drum sounds - -Layering\>Split Children

Answer 12

-From the options, T to store in spare state and F to flip between them.

Answer 13

-Top left option drop down, Browse Parameters.

Answer 14

- Wrapper window, top left settings drop-down, - -Uncheck Allow Threaded Processing

Answer 15

- The plugin is informed when FL Studio is rendering so it can switch to a higher quality output, if possible. - -This must be selected to achieve HQ rendering from plugins that support different real-time and rendered quality. - --Try deselecting this option if a plugin is not rendering correctly. - ---NOTE: Native FL Studio plugins respond to the HQ for all plugins render option.

Answer 16

Paint drum sequencer mode (N) - Adds multiple notes as you drag in lines. - -Behaviors are fine-tuned to work for drum sequencing in the Piano roll, where you may want to mute/unmute steps. ---Left-click to add a note. Click-and-drag to paint a line of notes. - ---Left-click on notes to mute/unmute them. Right-Click to delete notes. Right-Click and drag to delete multiple notes. -----Snap sets the note length. - Right-Click and hold on the background to open the slice tool (F10 \> General settings \> Click and hold functions on). Modifier keys: (Ctrl) to make a selection. (Alt) paint at half the selected snap setting.

Answer 17

-Slice tool while held.

Answer 18

- Quick Zoom 123 - SHIFT+1,2,3 and SHIFT+4,5 - -PG UP, PG DN - --Z Zoom tool , click to zoom in out

Answer 19

-By using modifier keys while using them.

Answer 20

- The portamento flag causes a short slide in pitch from the end of one note to the note with the portamento flag. - -This is a note transition effect. - --NOTES: 1. these features only work with native FL Studio instruments and not VST instruments. - Seems to re trigger sound envelope

Answer 21

-Causes notes, above or below the slide-note, to slide to the pitch of the slide-note. --The slide-time is set by the length of the slide-note. NOTE: Seems good for creating pitchbends within notes by stacking slide notes with regular ones. -Seems to NOT re-trigger sound envelope.

Answer 22

-Middle Mouse Click Drag

Answer 23

-Time Range Selection - Double click and drag or CTRL-Click and drag on the header --Pitch Range Selection - CTRL-Click Drag on the piano roll preview keys. NOTE: You can use CTRL+SHIFT to select some notes in a time, AND then select a pitch range in combination.

Answer 24

- CTRL+D - CTRL+Left Click in blank area

Answer 25

-SHIFT+G --ALT+G NOTE: Same as playlist

Answer 26

- Duplicate Selection - -The selection, or all notes if nothing is selected, will be duplicated to the right of the original selection. - --To define a specific repeat interval, make a time-line equal to the complete interval to be duplicated - ---The time-line selection and note selection can be made independently. The repeat interval is set by the time-line selection, the notes duplicated by the note selection

Answer 27

-SHIFT+Mouse Wheel Scroll

Answer 28

- SHIFT will lock vertical, so you can SHIFT to copy from a note and can position it in time but not pitch - -CTRL will lock horizontal so you can't change time.

Answer 29

- Shift bumps them - -ALT nudges them

Answer 30

- Mouse scroll to it if you have the option on. - -Hold Right ALT with pencil tool - --T

Answer 31

- Channel Settings \> Misc - Polyphony \> SLIDE (even if grayed out) will interact with Portamento notes - -Time \> GATE will interact with Portamento and Slide notes

Answer 32

- If notes are overlapping, so they form part of a chord, the topmost note is used as the reference for the pitch offset (see picture below). - -All notes in the Chord will slide so the topmost note reaches the same pitch as the slide note, with all notes in the chord moving the same note interval. - --After the slide event ends, notes still remain offset from their original pitch. - ---Note colors can be used to create independent slides for up to 16 notes in a chord. Notes of the same color group, slide each other.

Answer 33

-During slides all note properties move toward those set in the slide note.

Answer 34

These controls allow changes to per note - panning (PAN), note on velocity (VEL), release velocity (REL), channel filter cutoff (MODX) and channel filter resonance (MODY). - -NOTE: MOD X/Y can also link to custom parameters as set in native plugins. Harmor has Mod X/Y controls that map to these parameters, for example.

Answer 35

- Unlike the arpeggiator in the Channel Settings, the Piano roll Arpeggiator is not a real-time effect, however it allows for much more customization and control. - -Pattern (Browse) - Allows you to load an FL Studio Score file (\*.fsc) to be used as arpeggiator pattern. See guides for creating such scores below.

Answer 36

Selects the event that determines the end of the arpeggiator loop. - Time: this selection will disable repetitions - -Block: end of loop is considered the time all notes are turned off - --Chord: end of loop is considered the time when one of the notes from the chord turns off;

Answer 37

- Apply quick portamento, staccato and legato layout to your scores. - -Can apply differnt types of randomness in length to the notes.

Answer 38

-ALT+L, Articulator

Answer 39

- Note slicing tool that can use standard score files as slicing templates - -ALT+U

Answer 40

- Removes notes, adds notes and/or shifts the timing of notes to create interesting new rhythms. - -The Piano roll Claw machine works very effectively with drum/melody loops sliced in Slicex to create new rhythms. If you need to perform the Claw process on audio files then use the Claw machine tool in Edison. - --ALT+W

Answer 41

The Claw Machine works by defining a Period, then cutting the period into a number of slices set by the Trash every setting. The slices are either removed ('clawed') or used to redefine note boundaries.

Answer 42

Time distortion - Slews the claw process toward the start or end of the Period. Great for creating bouncing-ball or 'kick/snare rush' transition effects from regular 16th note patterns.

Answer 43

- Allows you to add 'drum flam' effect to your scores. - -Flamming is the technique of playing two hits very close together, blurring the attack from 'bam' to 'flam'. - --This effect is very useful to add some variation to the basic percussion performance. - ---ALT+F

Answer 44

Options drop-down menu - Opens a drop-down menu containing some useful presets. Time - Sets the length of the quick strokes added before each note. Absolute - Selects absolute or tempo based time for the Time knob. Before - Places the quick strokes before the original notes' start time. Velocity - Sets the velocity applied to the quick strokes. Group notes - Groups notes that were part of the processed selection. The Grouping selector (On/Off) is on the Toobar shortcut icons.

Answer 45

- Flip can invert scores both vertically (key) and horizontally (time). --The tool operates only on the selected notes, if there are any (otherwise uses the entire score in the window). - --ALT+Y

Answer 46

- Flip Tool - -ALT+Y

Answer 47

- draw LFO shapes in the Event Editor or lower Piano roll. - -ALT+O

Answer 48

- LFO Tool - -ALT+O - --Can tune the start value and end value and variation throughout easily. - --This allows a build-up or drop out of cutoff, resonance, velocity, etc.

Answer 49

- Allows you to transpose the notes of a score within a custom defined limit. The tool can be used to generate quick derivative scores from a single source. - -Assign the derived scores to different instrument channels to create richer musical arrangements. - --ALT+K
