2. Load a New Sample. The first thing you can do is change the sample being used on the channel. The
sample file name is shown on the picture above. Clicking on the file icon to the left will open a
browser on the directory containing the file "DNC_Kick.wav" along with a number of other kick drum
samples. As you click on them, FL Studio will automatically play the sounds for you. Try opening
some of these other samples and listening to the effect a new kick drum has on the sound of the loop.
3. Check out the Browser. Another way to load samples is to use the Browser (that's the other window
you see when you first opened FL Studio in the "First Run" section above.) This is a special browser
for selecting and loading samples, loops and presets files. To find the DNC_Kick sound, click on
Packs, and then Dance. Left-clicking on a sample will play it, right clicking will open it into the
selected channel, and you can also drag and drop into the step sequencer. (You select a channel by
clicking on the green Channel Selector light to the right of the channel name as shown above.)
Lost the Browser? No problem. The five
big buttons on the tool bar shown below
will open and close various windows for
you, including the Browser and the Step
Sequencer. (Don't worry about those
other windows for now, all will become
clear in the fullness of time…)
