FL Studio Wobbles

Post by baro » Wed May 06, 2009 8:25 pm

Recently I have been trying my hand at producing some dubstep in FL studio. I currently make wobbles by hooking up low pass filter to my bass, and setting the cut-off to wobble up and down but putting a LFO in the event editor.

I found that by setting the LP to bounce every two beats gives it that familiar driving sound.

But, I want to do more than that. Maybe swing the wobble rate, do something with it. Is there any way to get my hands on the wobble rate itself and tweak that instead of making and digging through mounds of automation clips?


oh, and before you flame, I did do a search but did not find anything

Man, fuck your Llamas, I actually asked a question. If you read it, you would notice it was technical and specific.

This was my question:

Once a wobble has been established with a low pass filter, is there a setup that lets you modulate the wobble rate without writing a new event in the event editor?

This was not my question:

HOW DO YOU MAKE WOBBLE NOIZE ?

ah I get what you're asking! hard to work it out though :?

depends what synths you are using to do the wobbles... the easiest way in Fl, especially if your still getting used to it, is to use a sampler channel, or one of the 3xOsc plugs, they both sections where you can alter the ASDR envelopes of panning, volume, filter, res and pitch. under the filter tab (or the volume tab, or the whatever tab you want to wobble) there is the lfo. you have to turn the amount up or down because the default is zero. alter speed of wobble with the speed knob next to volume knob.

Most synths have an lfo in there somewhere.

Alternatively, you could get the fruity Peak Controller LFO (basically an lfo that can be assigned to any "event editable" parameter) and assign your filter cutoff (that you have been using) to it. there are some good peak controller tuts on youtube.

^ this way is cool because you can assign anything to wobble, like distortion, delay whatever.

i just map it out all in the event editor. i use the oligarc filter VST because it has three different settings for more intense "wah" sound. I usually would let a constant like every beat wobble and then go back in and listen through while editing the events. only way that works well for me really doesnt take too much time either. so i dont really know any other effecient way I would do it.

First off, thanks for hacking through my badly phrased question.

But thanks even more for answering it! This speed knob in the LFO of the 3x osc is exactly what I was looking for.

:D

Link your low pass filter cutoff to a Fruity Envelope LFO, then set automation for speed, and you can easily figure out what points are in sync and can do some cool lfo speed automation shit very easily, probably the best way to wobble in FL as you can do it with any VST

or get massive, and once you have the wobble you want, go to the fruity sampler or whatever go to 'browse all parameters' find the one for the wobble rate, and then automate it.

Thank you!

This post helped me alot. I was getting frustrated with the other method because I could not see the peaks.

You do know, you can put a filter on the FX channela nd use the formula controller to make wobbles out of anything, don't you? Just use the formula controller to automate the frequency of the filter - you can a lot more defined that way (Y)
