but how do you assign the play button to your midi controller? my mpk has a play and record button, but you cant right click and "link to controller" on the play or record in FL

Click the icon up in the corner, next to the dropdown menu, and then check where it sais "Don't allow keyboard focus".
Fixed

Hey.so im brand new to all this.iv been playing guitar for quit some time so Ik my theory.but beyond that Ik nothing. Lol.I use fl 10. I have some of my new stuff in a different part of the fourm.I was just wondering.is there a way u sync the wobles to the beat.cause I just open sytrua n use my mouse to controll the speed of the lfo.usinggthe knob on sytus. Is that bad approach to it?

[RandoRando]

^^^^ your using the "speed" knob in the LFO section of sytrus right? Make an automation clip for it by right clicking it, and it should be synced by default if i remember, if not there should be a "tempo" button right next to the knobs. That enables it to stay on beat

[Mylan001]

I write most of my synths in 3xosc, but there's only so much you can do with 3 oscillators, does FL have anything with more oscillators that I don't have to buy? I use Reason and Ableton as well, but I'm learning how to use FL right now and was just wondering.

Sytrus u can make some pretty good wobbles and u can use automation clips to modulate things. that way you dont have to make 5 different channels of the same synth just at different cuttoff syncs. but thats only if you use sytrus, i do not.

[RandoRando]

^^^^^ you don't have to have different synths open at different Lfo speeds for any synth be it FL native or 3rd party. That's just the lazy way. You can tell FL to automate anything

ive tried the multilink controller button but i never could get it to work. you know of any other way? it would be a life and cpu saver.

It worked out of the box for me.

ive never use the multilink i dont even know what it does.

1. click and move your knob you want to automate. just click it.

2. go up to your tools in the top left tool bar <last tweaked parameter< create automation clip.

3. ?????????????????

4. Profit

[Grimenoceros]

Quick question, is there any way to link multiple automatable parameters to one automation clip? Say, the x-scale filter on 3 instances of the same sampler so they all move the same way? Because as it is when you try to "link to controller" to an automation clip that is already occupied, it wont let you add it, only replace the first parameter linked. Is there any way around this?

The annoying solution I have for now is just to write out the clip I want and then clone it however many times and link the other instances to each individually, but this is both annoying and leaves room for error.

Uncheck 'Remove Conflicts' ?

yeah remove conflicts SHOULDNT be on

[Grimenoceros]

Ah fack -__- I thought that was always supposed to be checked on so as to...I don't know, prevent mass FL pandemonium? Stupid mistake, thanks guys! Good thing we have this handy little thread
