FL Studio 20 Getting Started Manual

2. What’s with the lower Piano roll window? As we saw earlier, the lower window allows you

to adjust all sorts of per-note parameters such as note velocity, pan and also Channel

automation. If there is any Event automation (see page 66) in the pattern that the Piano roll is

part of, you can select that too and edit it in the lower window, just like in the Event editor. Even

more lazy? You can use the Channel selector to change Piano rolls within the pattern (“Change

Channel here’ above).

3. What Kinds of Channels Can Have Piano Rolls? You can have a Piano Roll for any type of

Instrument. Sustained notes will always work best when you are using Looped Samples &

Synthesizers. Loop points that let the sample play over and over again to create a sustained

sound that lasts as long as the note is held. If you don't have a looped sample, you can still

use the Piano Roll, but remember your notes may not last as long as you wanted them to.
