+Demario DaSinger Fl studio comes with a bunch of plugins and some drum kits. There are a ton of free drum kits out there you could get to expand your sounds. You can then master those with plugins within Fl studio. For plugins like nexus you have to pay but the keyboard also comes with 2 free plugins that you could use as well.
First off great video! Midi keyboard connected and I used the Layer channel to assign my channels to my midi keyboard. Is there any way I can get my keyboard to play all the sounds at the same velocity? I have to press down too hard on some of the keys.
I just recently bought a novation launchkey 25 installed the drivers, and opened fl studio set the input and output made sure it said my correct model in the dropdown. Great. It even recognizes the notes i press (i can see in the little box in upper-left hand corner). However, instead of allowing me to play one sample that i have opened in the piano roll in different notes like i thought I would be able to do. It instead only has whatever i have in the channel rack each individually assigned to a key. So C4 in a new track is the kick D is the Clap E the Hi-hat, etc. How can I change this to only playing one sample at a time w/ different notes? Basically I want the opposite of what you showed in the video lol.
Bro I have a keyboard which supports midi. Now I do not want to use vst because my keyboard itself has a lot of tones like dum set, guitars, etc. Can I directly change the tone in my keyboard and record in fl studio??????If so, how to do it. Someone pls tell me
Hi I’m using this feature to play recorded samples while I play my acoustic drums live. I control the pads with an alesis sample pad unit off to the side of my acoustic kit. I can assign the samples to the fruity pads and control them no problem. but I’m trying to figure out how to start and stop the sample by hitting the same pad. Right now when I hit the pad it plays but if I hit it again obviously it just plays the sample again over the first one. Is there a setting somewhere to customize this? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
After you set the children and all the channels are linked to the layer, can you go back and in link them? I'm at a point where if I go into piano role on each individual sample I'm limited to playing one note
I have a issue with actually recording and making beats with the pad. I record with my pad using Edison and then i move the sound I just made to the playlist. when I try to add stuff on to the beat i just made, it always overlaps. I'm just having trouble record with it. Any ideas ?
+Lovelliscool Press the record button next to the stop button then it should bring up a pop for what you want to record and you click automation. Then press play (or space) and it will countdown and then you can record by pressing your pads or keys!
Hey, first of all thanks for the video it really helped me, then I would like to know how can i save the sounds that i've already assigned to the drum pad? each time that i close the FPC, it erase my assigned sounsds
Just click "save preset" at the top of the channel settings and give it a name you can remember. Then next time you want to use it you can click "load preset" in the channel settings and they should all be there.
+Carrigan Beats i need help to assign my midi drum pads to ezdrummer. I have an issue with drum kit, after I connect it and start ezdrummer, almost every drum is displaced... what to do? please help!
it worked for a second but they're assigned all over the place and it started playing multiple pads on FPC for one physical pad. what am I doing wrong? - M-Audio, FL 11,
Nice video, i am trying to connect my Novation Launchkey 49 via FPC, "map notes" but it only makes sounds with the keys, not the pads. any ideas how to fix it? (the pads are working in the included software "melodics" if that makes any difference)
I have a problem. I assign each sound to different pads on my laptop but it still plays all the sounds at once when I click on any pad on my keyboard. How do I fix this? Is it a problem with my settings or something?
how do you change the pitches of the notes after you assign them on fpc? there's no point of assigning them if they not playing in the key I want them too
Is there a way to have a piano assigned to the keys and drums assigned to the pad at the same time ? I want to be able to hit the drum pads and than go to the keys like that
IVerticalZz I haven't tried that yet myself but Id imagine there is a way to do it. Maybe if you try using FPC for the pads, and then just open another plugin for the piano? Try playing both and see what happens.
Hey how to assign instruments sounds i.e. piano, strings, etc to the drum pads in FL studio 12. I need to play for live performances for that I need to change the sounds rapidly in one song. I have Arturo's essential 61 midi keyboard. Please let me know It's urgent.
hey, I came here trying to find something else that I need and maybe you can help me it's a little complicated I want to dedicate 1 pad to strictly one sound (let's say it's crash) and 2nd pad to strictly one other sound (let's say clap), BUT in that way that those play (oh pad hits) even when something else is selected, let's say piano other pads are linked to toggle on/off channels that play their lines
because piano and pads play what is selected if fpc is selected, pad guy is happy, but piano guy can't play because there is no sound otherwise, when piano is selected, pad guy is pressing piano notes on pads..
i have a key lab 61 keyboard with 16 pads but only the 1st 4 pads map and they end up mapping the 16 sounds that i load in FPC meaning the last 12 pads don't work. please help
so, my electronic drumset doesn't start sending midi at C. or C#, or D. it starts 2 octaves down ish. and i wanna be able to hit one pad and it trigger 2 different samples that are on 2 different mixer tracks
How do you get those sounds under that folder to be able to use? I'm still a noob and I can see sounds in my generators but when I try to drag them over to the drum pad I want to assign it to it does not allow them. I am assuming its because I don't have any specific note in that area isolated but I do not know how to do so
+Carrigan Beats I tried it but it was very weird... when i hit a button it first plays one button but everytime i hit that button agaib it plays one mire button until it plays them all :(
+MilosGamingInc. Yes definitely! Getting familiar with a midi keyboard as a beginner would help you a ton with making beats or with whatever you would be doing with it. I wasnt able to get one when i started out and i just got this keyboard this year and it helps a lot.
I wouldnt recommend a specific one since I've only had one keyboard myself. Just look around online, there's a lot of them out there. I like my M-Audio Oxygen 49 and havent had any issues with it. If you want to check out that one out here's the link to my unboxing video and setup of it! :) - ruclips.net/video/spRIaXFcT98/видео.html
You said depending on how many pads you have... I have 16 Pad but with two controllers. the Akai LPD8 and the Alesis V49. I'm able to map successfully the first 8 with the Akai but when I want to finish mapping the other 8 with the Alesis it doenst work. I tried mapping the pads one by one as well but no results.
SirJulian You can try doing it but I don't think it will work. Maybe If you create 2 instances of the FPC channel you can map each controller to its own FPC channel. Give that a try and get back to me!
+HybridTurtles I know you figured it out already, but if anyone else has this issue, here is why: You must use an audio sample. I do not think generators work.
I appreciate the video but when I assign the sounds to the pads I can only add a sound to Pad 1. any other sounds I add the other pads don't play for me
I've been digging for a video that showed me this. It's so simple, and yet you're the first person to show how to do it. Thanks so much!
+heyjohnmurray Glad I could help! :)
So crucial !! Thanks so much. Its almost like others dont wanna share how to do this tbh

+MrFlexarProductions Youre welcome! Im glad i could help! :)
+Alec Carrigan Hey Now does Does plugins come w fl studio? Like the Kick N Snair ur dragging into your drumspads or u have to buy all plugins?
+Demario DaSinger Fl studio comes with a bunch of plugins and some drum kits. There are a ton of free drum kits out there you could get to expand your sounds. You can then master those with plugins within Fl studio. For plugins like nexus you have to pay but the keyboard also comes with 2 free plugins that you could use as well.

how can i do this but with chords, like how can i assign different chords of the same instrument to each individual pad?

How assign Different Frequencies to Diffrent keys of Piano Using Fl Studio.Thanks in advance🌹
would this work with those cheap roll up drum kits? I have an acoustic kit and I just want to experiment
I have a problem. I assign each sound to different pads on my laptop but it still plays all the sounds at once when I click on any pad on my keyboard. How do I fix this? Is it a problem with my settings or something?
The Alesis v25 is great for just this😃
i was gonna get it but i ended up getting alesis q49
how do you change the pitches of the notes after you assign them on fpc? there's no point of assigning them if they not playing in the key I want them too

this helped and what not thanks a lot but you need to explain that when you hit the key the noises change pitch because its not on the C5 key
hey, I came here trying to find something else that I need and maybe you can help me
it's a little complicated
I want to dedicate 1 pad to strictly one sound (let's say it's crash) and 2nd pad to strictly one other sound (let's say clap), BUT in that way that those play (oh pad hits) even when something else is selected, let's say piano
other pads are linked to toggle on/off channels that play their lines
let's put it in a simple example
1 midi controller, 2 guys.. one play pads, other one plays piano, how to achieve it?
because piano and pads play what is selected
if fpc is selected, pad guy is happy, but piano guy can't play because there is no sound
otherwise, when piano is selected, pad guy is pressing piano notes on pads..
thank you
i have a key lab 61 keyboard with 16 pads but only the 1st 4 pads map and they end up mapping the 16 sounds that i load in FPC meaning the last 12 pads don't work. please help
U could just load up the empty pads settings then drag your sounds to each pad
Thanks bro!!
THANK U PAL, it's quite easy, but it seems no one have guts to show this to dummies :v
so, my electronic drumset doesn't start sending midi at C. or C#, or D. it starts 2 octaves down ish. and i wanna be able to hit one pad and it trigger 2 different samples that are on 2 different mixer tracks
Thanks a lot!
Is there an updated version? bc i cant find that "map entire bank" option in fls12
How do you get those sounds under that folder to be able to use? I'm still a noob and I can see sounds in my generators but when I try to drag them over to the drum pad I want to assign it to it does not allow them. I am assuming its because I don't have any specific note in that area isolated but I do not know how to do so
Can i use my pc keyboard ( the typing thing not the instrument ) like a launchlad / drumpad ?
+INFINITF2 I believe so. Just follow everything in this video the same and let me know if it works!
+Carrigan Beats I tried it but it was very weird... when i hit a button it first plays one button but everytime i hit that button agaib it plays one mire button until it plays them all :(
yo i'm about to get this keyboard, do you think it works or the mac version of fl studio or do you recommend getting logic first?
+Fred Rosa It should work fine on the mac for Fl Studio. If you want you can get logic but I would recommend Fl Studio
can you set up a midi drum set the same way? I have an Alesis dm6
Thankss!!!
is this possible with an mpc studio that is just connected via usb?
how do u record while using ur midi beat pad, to a sample playing likea beat and add xtra beat to it?
yeah want to know how to loop the beats that have already been made duting recording and add more sounds
yes exactly
like make a vid bro im not that savy
Where’d you get that drop down menu of sounds on the left? Did it come with the free fl studios download or did you have to buy it?
how can i make it so that when i click a different sample while another is playing, it chokes the previous one being played (on my MIDI in FL)
How did you connect your drum pad to fl studio? Is it from the drum module?
I have a problem... Whenever I open FPC... my FL studio stops working... This only happens when I open my FPC... What do I do to fix it?
does this also work on a launchkey mini?
hey do you recommend a midi keyboard for a beginner? plz reply
+MilosGamingInc. Yes definitely! Getting familiar with a midi keyboard as a beginner would help you a ton with making beats or with whatever you would be doing with it. I wasnt able to get one when i started out and i just got this keyboard this year and it helps a lot.

much appreciated~
How can I have drums on my pads but still have custom synth sounds when I play the keys? Anyone know how?? Would help a ton thanks!
Is there a way you can loop the sound when you press and hold on the pads on your midi keyboard?
Is there any way of doing this on Logic Pro X?
I'm guessing there is. You would just have to look for a plugin that does the same thing as FPC or the layer plugin
You said depending on how many pads you have... I have 16 Pad but with two controllers.
the Akai LPD8 and the Alesis V49. I'm able to map successfully the first 8 with the Akai but when I want to finish mapping the other 8 with the Alesis it doenst work. I tried mapping the pads one by one as well but no results.
SirJulian You can try doing it but I don't think it will work. Maybe If you create 2 instances of the FPC channel you can map each controller to its own FPC channel. Give that a try and get back to me!
I thought about that but never actually did it. Will hit you back if it works
how do you make the pad play on lets say "CO" key instead of where it starts when I assign it?
Can u set the same sound to multiple keys. I wanna do this for the snare.
Can I use my computer keyboard as midi keyboard in fpc
How do I get the sounds from the pads into the mixer so I can EQ them??
It doesnt let me click and drag a sound to the fpc :( Do you have any suggestions how to fix it?
+HybridTurtles I know you figured it out already, but if anyone else has this issue, here is why: You must use an audio sample. I do not think generators work.
thanks!
is this plugin in the demo version too???
I believe so, the demo should come with everything
What is the link to that landscape drum kit
I couldnt find Layer plugin in FL studio 12... There is another one??
Same problem here :(
okay so on a new project... after i split all the children. all my samples are an octave higher.... anyone able to help??
THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH
I appreciate the video but when I assign the sounds to the pads I can only add a sound to Pad 1. any other sounds I add the other pads don't play for me
