Answer 26

- Performance Mode is saved per-project and lets you trigger Clips from the Playlist to play in any order. - -When the project is playing using a mouse or touch on the Playlist, the typing keyboard or a controller to trigger Clips. - --The purpose is to create 'remixes' of a project's Clip content (Audio, Pattern & Automation). Performance mode works by designating the area before the Start Marker as a 'Performance Zone' from where Clips can be triggered, out of sequence, between tracks. - ---One Clip can play per track, so if you need more simultaneous Clips, use more tracks. Enabling Record mode will capture performances and lay out triggered Clips after the Start marker for later rendering.

Answer 27

-Playlist track header \>Right click Menu \> Performance settings

Answer 28

-Clip triggers on each press (the track Trigger sync setting determines immediacy).

Answer 29

-Clip triggers on press, plays while held and stops on release.

Answer 30

-Clip triggers on press, plays while held and proceeds one 'Motion' step on release, as defined by the Motion setting for the track.

Answer 31

-Repeated presses cycle between play and stop.

Answer 32

-Play selected only.

Answer 33

-Play once and stop.

Answer 34

-Play then march to the next Clip, at the end wrap back to the first Clip. Sub-Clips are not played. NOTE: Horizontal groupings will define which Clips 'March' on the track when a member of the group is triggered. This also leaves the ungrouped Clips to march if any of this category is triggered on the track. You may have any number of mutually exclusive groups on a track.

Answer 35

-Play then march to the next Clip and stay on the last.

Answer 36

-Play and march to the next Clip then stop at the last.

Answer 37

-Play random Clips on the track (repetition allowed). Sub-Clips are not included.

Answer 38

-Clips are randomly played without any Clip playing twice in a row. Sub-Clips are not included.

Answer 39

-Clips start as soon as triggered.

Answer 40

-Clips are triggered on the next 1/4 to 4 beats.

Answer 41

-Defined by the length of the Clip being triggered (up to 4 beats).

Answer 42

-Clips can be queued by selecting any number of Clips/Markers in any order. Playback will follow the order they were selected.

Answer 43

-Clips normally missed when triggered slightly late will be triggered immediately, so a small part at the beginning of the Clip will be truncated (this is usually preferable to delaying the Clip until the next bar).

Answer 44

-Play starts from the beginning of the Clip.

Answer 45

-Playback starts within the Clip to the nearest 1/4 to 4 beats.

Answer 46

- Playback starts from the current song position. - -This allows you to start playback from the correct point inside a Clip regardless of when it was triggered.

Answer 47

-Performance mode works by triggering Clips from the Performance Zone.

Answer 48

- Performance Zone - This is defined by the area between the start of the Playlist and the 'Start' Time Marker. - -Only Clips in the Performance Zone can be triggered in Performance Mode. - --Clip per-track playback - Only one Clip per Playlist track can play at a time. To simultaneously play more Clips trigger Clips on other Playlist tracks.

Answer 49

-Right-click a Playlist track header area to show the automated playback modes and triggering options.

Answer 50

Columns are defined by each bar of the grid.

Answer 51

-It only matters what Time Marker region a Clip starts in for it to be assigned to a key/button. --A Time Marker region is defined by any two Time Markers. ---Clips that start in a preceding Marker region and overlap the following Marker region will be ignored for the following region.

Answer 52

-Where more than one Clip is placed between time-markers, Clips play in a round-robin.

Answer 53

- Scenes are groups of Clips that can be triggered together (more details here). - -Time markers are one way to create scenes as they vertically group Clips on the same bar/grid position. - --Most supported Clip-launching controllers have the ability to trigger Scenes and may also have +Scene buttons. - ---These allow you to add or take away scenes from the currently playing Clips. - ----Scene launching is not possible from a generic MIDI keyboard. - -----Sub-Clips will cycle in a round-robin, each time the Scene is re-triggered the next Clip in the group plays, then back to the beginning again.

Answer 54

- Save your project (the following steps will make destructive changes to the original layout). - -Select Tools \> Misc macros \> Prepare for performance mode - --Add or delete Time Markers as required. - ---Remember, the time markers are used to define columns/rows of buttons, depending on your controller. - ----Place Clips in the Playlist tracks in related rows aligned with Time Markers as needed. - -----For example; Melody progressions on one track, Bass progressions on another, percussion on yet another. - ------Per track, set the Performance settings as desired.

Answer 55

- Select Tools \> Misc macros \> Prepare for performance mode. - -Add or delete Time Markers as required. ---Remember the time markers are used to define columns/rows of buttons, depending on your controller. - ---Place Clips in the Playlist tracks in related rows aligned with Time Markers as needed. - ----For example; Melody progressions on one track, Bass progressions on another, percussion on yet another. - -----Per track, set the Performance settings as desired.

Answer 56

-Plays notes when playback is started mid-note in a Pattern Clip.

Answer 57

- Ensures notes in Clips, on the same track, cut each other and themselves. - It also plays notes overlapping slice points in Pattern Clips.

Answer 58

- Use 'Generic (bleeding)' as a starting point. - -This will preserve drum transients while minimizing clicks at the end of sliced Audio Clips.

Answer 59

-Show visualizations to aid in identifying Clip progress.

Answer 60

- Zoom levels of 24 or less (see Hint-bar) display clips as 'tiles', as shown above. - -This system allows you to edit Automation Clips and see other Clip types in more detail by increasing the Zoom. - --If Performance mode is not selected, tiling starts at a vertical zoom of 10 or less.

Answer 61

- Channel buttons will select the plugin interface for editing, without MIDI control take-over of the plugin. - This lets you play one plugin while editing the interface of another. - To change the target of your MIDI controller - Left-click the Channel selector LED.

Answer 62

-Will fit the Performance Zone in the horizontal width of the Playlist.

Answer 63

-A 'Scene' is any group of Clips, on independent tracks, that can be triggered to start playing together.

Answer 64

- These automatically group the first Clip on each track following the Marker position. - -Any subsequent Clips, within the region defined by the marker and the next, are treated as 'Sub Clips'. Trigger a Marker Scene/Group - Click anywhere along the Marker region defined by two Markers.

Answer 65

- Clip Groups don't need to be time-aligned as you can group any collection of Clips by holding (Ctrl + Shift) and click on Clips to be included in the group, then press (Shift + G) to group them. - -Trigger a Scene/Clip Group - Hold (Ctrl + Left-click) any member of the group.

Answer 66

- To create, click on the track divider, below the track you want to group with, then drag upward until a Track Group is created. - -To Ungroup Tracks repeat the process dragging up until the group is undone. Trigger a Scene/Track Group - Hold (Ctrl + Left-click) any Clip in the Folder group. - --Track groups are a good way of creating Scenes that span a limited number of tracks s opposed to Marker regions that trigger all Playlist tracks.

Answer 67

-Right-Click the Record button and select 'Clips'. Then press Record and Play to start your performance. Clips will be saved after the start marker as triggered

Answer 68

-Group Clips as described in the section above then (Ctrl+click) any Clip that is part of the group. Pad controllers automatically trigger Grouped Clips when used with Scene or +Scene.

Answer 69

Alt + Left-click) any group member's mute button.

Answer 70

Select your controller - Make sure your controller is selected and enabled in the F10 \> MIDI options. MIDI Channel Pre-configured controllers - The device should be detected and pre-set. Non pre-configured controllers - Set your MIDI controller AND MIDI options 'Playlist performance mode MIDI channel' to Channel 1. Any additional controllers not on this channel will still be available for normal controller duties for playing Instruments or modulating Effects & FL Studio parameters. Remember the lowest MIDI channel controls the upper-most active Instrument Channel. MIDI Ports- If your controller is specially supported as a Performance Mode controller (and has visual feedback), set your MIDI controller INPUT and OUTPUT ports to match (something other than the default '---'). Set one and double-click to set the other port. Multiple controllers - Set each controller's INPUT and OUTPUT ports to matching and unique values for each controller. Pre-configured controllers There is a list of controllers dedicated to Clip launching, typically feature more pads (often 4x4 or 8x8) and usually include controller feedback and full functionality:

Answer 71

- 3x Osc is a deceptively powerful 3 x Oscillator, subtractive synthesizer feeding the FL Studio Sampler. - -To reduce CPU load the oscillators are anti-aliased during rendering only.

Answer 72

- Autogun is a universe of sounds waiting to be discovered. - -Based on the Ogun synthesizer engine and Soundgoodizer effects processor - --Autogun contains 4,294,967,296 preset - ---Magic dust - 0 to 100% magic provided by Soundgoodizer.

Answer 73

-BassDrum is a flexible Bass/Kick drum synthesizer with sample-layer support

Answer 74

- The main BassDrum synthesis consists of two Oscillators (Main & Slave) and a sample layer (usually to add noise or texture).\ - -Following that there are sub-bass, distortion and pitch controls.

Answer 75

-This is a master envelope that controls the duration of all generators. There is no release time so BassDrum will sound until the duration is reached, even if the note is released before the duration time is reached.

Answer 76

-Acts similar to a pitch control with a little difference: This changes the internal sampling rate (not base/peak frequencies) to resample the entire plugin output. Low settings result in a gritty 'aliased' sound.

Answer 77

-The Main Oscillator controls set the start, end and glide-time of the oscillator. Kick sounds are typically synthesized by a very fast slide from a high to low frequency. BASE - End frequency. PEAK - Starting frequency. SLIDE - Frequency slide time.

Answer 78

- The Slave Oscillator mirrors the Main Oscillator, but here controls are relative to the Main Oscillator settings. Set in the minus range to be below or positive to be above the Master Oscillator's settings. - -BASE - End frequency offset (+/- 100%). - --PEAK - Start frequency offset (+/- 100%). - ---SLIDE - Frequency slide time offset(+/- 100%). - ----PHASE - Slave Oscillator's phase offset relative to the Master. Phase is achieved through a delay relative to Main. The Slave Oscillator will sound after Main Oscillator with positive settings and will lead to phase cancellations of frequencies from the Main Oscillator.

Answer 79

- Specialized click generator - -LEVEL - Click loudness. - --CUT - Larger values selectively filter low-frequencies from the click sound. - ---FREQ - Frequency of click Oscillator

Answer 80

- DRIVE - Saturation-like distortion. - -SUB-BASS - Sub-bass gain. Sub-bass frequency is relative to the Main & Slave Oscillators. - --ATTACK - Quick level fade-in. Useful to soften the initial click and/or to find better balance between the BassDrum and other sounds such as a Hi-Hat in the mix.

Answer 81

- You can drag and drop samples directly on BassDrum to load them. - -\< Selector \> - Choose a sample by clicking on the arrows OR in the center to open the sample menu. Use Load to select samples from your browser. - --A, D, S - Volume envelope, Attack, Decay and Sustain levels. - ---Delay - Timing of the sample layer relative to the oscillators. -100% the sample leads the oscillators. 0% the sample and oscillators sound simultaneously. +100% the sample follows the oscillators. - ----PITCH - Sample pitch. - -----FLT - Left = Low Pass filter (removes high frequencies). The knob changes the cutoff frequency. - ------MIX - Relative level of the sample layer (0 to 100%).
