FL Studio 20 Getting Started Manual

see how this feature works, place a long note on the PR, and then place a slide note above or

below it. Make sure the two notes overlap. The long note will play until it reaches the slide

portion. Then the pitch will rise towards the Slide Note and stay there until it reaches the end

of the original note. The longer the Slide Note, the longer the slide (see example next page).

7. Tweaking the Notes. Don’t forget you can individually change Volume, Cutoff, Resonance

and so on for each note in the bottom part of the Piano Roll Editor. Every time you enter a

note, you get a spike in the bottom graph that shows the level of the parameter selected by the

drop-down box on the left (labeled Event Select above). After you enter the notes, you can

change the values of any of the parameters by grabbing the top of the spikes and dragging

them. The horizontal line shows note length. You can set Velocity, Pan, Cutoff, Resonance,

and Pitch. As an added bonus, you can also use this graph as the Event Editor for Channel

Pan, Pitch, and Volume. NOTE: You can also change any note’s properties by double-clicking

it.

8. Importing MIDI Tunes. In the File Menu under MIDI, you'll find two methods of importing MIDI

sound files directly into the Piano Roll Editor. There are tons of MIDI files for various popular

melodies floating around out there. Now you can suck them directly into FL Studio and use

them in your songs. How cool is that?
