Use the Create or Delete options to add or remove samples. Remember, you can also add your own MIDI loops to this folder and even edit the MIDI of any of these presets and save them as new loops.īelow the main tool bar, you’ll see the samples section for the selected pad. Use the left and right arrows to quickly browse through the loops. You can load new MIDI loops through the folder icon or the drop down menu. These presets will add MIDI drum loops to the piano roll of your FPC channel. You can use negative or positive values to send pads to mixer tracks before or after the track your FPC is currently on.Ībove the tool bar, you’ll see the MIDI Loop section. Whatever mixer track you have FPC sent to will be considered the Output - starting point. The Output will send that pad to its own mixer track. That’s typically used for imitating the sound of a hi-hat opening and closing with the closed hi hat pad cutting off the open hi hat pad, which is what happens on a real drum kit. The Cut and Cut By options are useful for stopping a pad from playing while another pad is triggered. By clicking on the assigned MIDI Note, you’ll have the option to remap the pad to any note on your controller. Next, to those knobs are mute, solo and the option to scale the volume according to velocity, which helps any MIDI input sound and feel more natural as you’re performing with your controller. The three knobs on the main tool bar will edit the volume, panning and pitch of the selected pad. By selecting the pad, you can edit any of these options through the main tool bar settings. These presets will already have the drums labeled, colorized, mapped and spread through the velocity scale for you.
You can load the kits through the presets menu. FPC comes with an assortment of kits with these type of sample recordings. This allows you to have a more realistic sounding performance by incorporating samples that were recorded with a range of drum hits on the same drum.
The great thing about FPC is its ability to layer drum sounds and triggering each sample according to velocity. These presets can be accessed through the drop down menu next to the pad selector. It also has a handful of controller presets, which include FL Studio’s new Fire controller. It’s loaded with drum samples and MIDI loops that can instantly deliver the type of tracks you might be looking for. It contains two banks of 16 pads that can be mapped to any MIDI controller. I have been helping students learn FL Studio, music production, and how to make beats for many years.FPC stands for Fruity Pad Controller. Other the years latency has improved, and I’m sure it will continue to do so moving forward.īut for the time being, I’ve found buying a mixer the best solution to hear your audio, record, and hear yourself back all in real time for the time being.Īlso a benefit to this, if your mixer has effects, is you can apply a bit of reverb to help the artist sing/record better since it’s not so dry/quick sounding, but not record this reverb to get the best possible performance out of the artist.
these companies try to sell us on “near zero latency”, but latency is still there. University Research Paper on Audio LatencyĪnd the thing is. (Read this article with the button below!) There have been MANY studies/tests done on latency. Well, when you record with a microphone into an audio interface, it takes time for that audio to go into your computer, record, then play back that same audio into your headphones. Here’s a funny video I put together showing the problems we as producers face on a daily basis! What is audio latency?
