This is necessary to support things like DJ controllers (for various interesting uses) or anything with rotary encoders. Something that I find suspiciously missing is increment/decrement mode. The smoothing section helps interpolate values to avoid abrupt changes. You can use basic math here to map things, and there’s a bunch of useful presets available via the right pointing arrow next to the formula input box. The mapping window has a great formula window that allows you to change the scaling of how your input is mapped to the output parameter. Global links apply across all projects but depend on the current focus.) Per-Project links apply directly to controls, no matter what is focused. (See the manual for information about this distinction. Native - Native FL plugins and some VSTs will allow you to right click and Link to Controller directly from the GUI. 99% of the time it does, but when it doesn’t you can browse your current project’s generators/effects, find the parameter you want then right click and Link to Controller Done.īrowser - Sometimes Multilink doesn’t work. Move your hardware control (or manually set the MIDI values). Right click the Multilink button then Link to Controller. Next you can use either the browser, the Multilink button or Native FL mapping. Setting up hardware control is dead simple in FL.įirstly, you can set up your controller using one of the MANY default setups (the most I know of in any DAW). No MIDI CC output or toggles can be done without a workaround either. It’s easily one of the best keyboard->MIDI implementations I’ve seen in terms of creative expression, but it does appear to lack some things like adjusting velocity or octave easily. There’s also the Performance Mode Mode… which I’ll cover in another post. You can also select various scales, which will map each computer keyboard row to the next scale degree with no ‘sharps’ or ‘flats’ used by the row above. One of the more interesting options is the Janko layout, which makes more efficient usage of the full keyboard than the default layout. This allows you to change the mapping of computer keyboard buttons to MIDI output. If you right click the button you get numerous options. Now Z will play C, S will play C#/Db, X will play D etc.
It’s a bit simpler than how it works in other DAWs, because in FL all you need to do is press a single toolbar button. Your computer keyboard can input MIDI in FL. Somehow I rarely see people talking about it, or see it used in projects.įLStudio has a a few software based controllers that you can interact with via mouse/keyboard. I’m going to spoil this article a bit, and tell you that this is one of FLStudio’s strong points. It may seem weird to bunch these things together, but in FLStudio they are linked (pun intended) together. I’ll be covering parameter modulation and hardware controllers in the next 2 posts.
