In yet another awesome FL Studio team-up, you can now import beats sliced up into separate drum hits
using the BeatSlicer. This is really handy if you're into break beats. Here's how you do it…
1. Select Import→Beat to Slice from the File menu.
2. Select a Beat. The first thing you'll be asked to do is select a wav file to slice. Make sure it's at least a
1 bar (1 pattern long) beat. You can slice a file that's not a beat, but it won't work very well…
3. Decide where to put the sliced beat. Next you will be asked to choose the directory for the sliced
beat. This is where the separate wave files (each containing one drum hit) will be put. FL Studio
already has a default directory you can use, called “Sliced Beats”.
4. Decide How You Want the Beat? You will get the dialog box shown below. You have the choice of:
a) using a single sampler channel for each slice of the beat (“Sampler Channels”); b) using a Layer to
group the channels (“Layered Sampler Channels”); or c) putting the whole beat in a single channel
using the Fruity Slicer (“Slicer Channel”).
