Q
FL STUDIO
What is Fruity Granulizer?
A
- Fruity Granulizer is a sample based plugin that utilizes the granular synthesis.
- -The source material for the Granulizer is a wave sample loaded by the user.
- –Granular synthesis splits a wave sample into many small pieces (grains) that are looped/played-back according to the settings of the generator.
19
Q
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Grains Section
ATTACK
A
- Sets the attack and decay length of each grain (i.e. fade in/fade out time).
- -The time is added (twice - fade in and fade out) to the length of the grain.
20
Q
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Grains Section
HOLD
A
-Length each grain is held before moving onto the next.
21
Q
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Grains Section
GR. SPACING
A
- Grain spacing in playback.
- -Turn to right for greater spacing between played grains (slower playback).
- –Turn left for smaller spacing (faster playback).
22
Q
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Grains Section
WAVE SPACING
A
- This basically controls the number of grains generated from the wave sample.
- -This value ranges from -300% to 300%.
- –For normal playback, set both Grain Spacing and Wave Spacing to 100%.
- —Small values mean more grains are used for the wave (smaller wave spacing).
- —-Using negative values results in reversed playback of the grains.
- —–NOTES: Grain playback order is reversed, not the sound contained in each grain.
23
Q
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Effects Section

Creating Blur Pads from a vocal sample with Edison
- Bring a vocal into Edison
- -To play chords, need to remove pitch variation, so need to flatten it by putting all the pitches on the same note. Open in Newtone and drag it around.
- --In Edison remove the gaps, to create relatively straight harmonic frequency lines in the viewer.
- ---Apply the Blur Tool, 4000ms
- ----Drag the sound into a sampler channel and tweak envelopes.
44
FL STUDIO
Creating Blur Pads from a vocal sample with Edison
In real-time:
- Capture the convolution response ?
- -Open Fruity Convolver and Edison in a mixer track.
- --Arm Edison and click the electric bolt ""Trigger impulse to record response"
- ---It's a single sample at 100%
- ----Use blur tool to blur the click itself, and normalize it.
- -----Select the region with data, and drag and drop onto convolver
- ------Then play the raw audio file with Convolver on the mixer track and turn off the dry
45
FL STUDIO
What is Layer?
- The Layer Channel does not make sound, it passes note data from it's Piano roll and controller input to any linked Channels (child channels).
- -Layers can be used to create complex instruments with different samples or to mix the sound of several instruments in one Channel, controlled by a single Layer Channel.
- --NOTE: Patcher is a more flexible alternative to Fruity Layer.
46
FL STUDIO
Layer
What does Layering\>Split Children do?
- Splits the children of the Layer Channel across the keyboard (starting with the root key of the Layer Channel), assigning each layer to a single key.
- -The root keys of the children are automatically adjusted, so that the correct pitch is played through the Layer Channel.
- --This feature is useful for creating drum kits or instruments where each note has different sample.
47
FL STUDIO
What is Fruity Slicer?
- Fruity Slicer uses beat detection to slice a wave file into pieces and make them independently playable from the Piano roll or from a controller.
- -If the wave file contains slice/region data this will be automatically used instead of beat-detection.
- --Fruity Slicer offers playback, reordering of slices and time-stretching capabilities optimized for drum loops
48
FL STUDIO

BPM / BEATS controls -
- Sets the tempo and number of beats (length) of the original loop.
