Why does my last note in the piano roll right before the loop is about to re-loop sound so low? It’s like it’s velocity is lowered but I have double checked now so many times but I just seem not to able to fix it, any ideas about this man? By the way I love your videos they have helped me alot!

@Preston1944 click on the step sequencer right where it says “Pattern” on the title bar – a menu drops down it’s there – you’ll see “split by channel”- This splits the you pattern that you have selected.to new patterns. The new patterns get created and renamed to reflect the channel name too. It’s a big time saver

Yeah i am having the same problem splitting the pattern by channel, i have tried the things you have listed above all mighty FL Guru but i am still not seeing Patterns>Split By Channel. Other then that amazing job my friend keep it up <3

@ste1438 finally selection through the library browser. Expand current project patterns, you can select patterns there too. It’s all a matter of preference – lot’s of options, I don’t cover it anymore because it confuses the hell out of people – and it’s alway being updated, but in the end it’s just an issue where everyone discovers there own preference after using FL Studio for a while.

@freakishgth Yes – You have many ways to select patterns, first – try, ctrl+alt+F8 (cool huh) – Keep in mind that if a pattern is already in the playlist, clicking on its title bar will make it the selected pattern. There is a pattern drop down at the top of the playlist. The playback panel pattern selector is some thing I llike also – rollover the pattern number next to your tempo – click and drag.

@gilladjoko same option is on the step sequencer drop down menu now. This was FL Beta 10 – they move it (sigh) – since then. I liked it in the playlist myself.

wht version are you using in this video im not shown pattern in the drop down menu of playlist.. just loved that function of split by channel, but i cant see it, using v10
December 24th, 2011 - 19:46
So when I click on the menu in the playlist, I dont see a patterns submenu. Am I missing something?
December 24th, 2011 - 20:41
22:43 i don’t have the option for patterns.. i’m using FL Studio 10. help plz

Thanks for the videos Ste1438. Just a quick question: Why is my FPC 808kit 19 different from yours? Instead of “kick” I have “kick drum” (that sounds completly different to the normal kick you use). Tried to google this, but cant fint anything relevant. Might it be because I use FL 10? Again, thanks for the tutorials!
December 24th, 2011 - 21:26
@ste1438 Thanks for the helpful answers. Of course I have FL Studio 10..legally also. I will be asking more questions when I come across more problems or any kind of confusion but thanks for answering me so far. One more question…where can I download those 808 beat patterns? Or do they come complimentary with FL Studio 10?

@kevo8t6 The entire drum kit (Kick,hat,snare…) has it’s own mixer track. What if I want to use a bass boost on the Kick only?. I wouldn’t want to put that on the whole kit. I give the kick an offset value of 1 in the FPC .. If the FPC is on fx track 3 –> the kick ends up on track 4.
December 24th, 2011 - 21:48
Maybe i sound stupid but i dont understand why you assigned the kick to output 1 on the FPC and then it ends up on 4 when it goes into the mixer track?
December 24th, 2011 - 22:33
@avitaer550 Since this was created it was moved to the step sequencer drop down menu, and removed from the playlist menu.

I tried to spilt by chanel but i dont have this option on my fl help me
December 24th, 2011 - 23:22
@gutzs Possibly 2 issues: most likely – you’ll notice that I right click and “send it to the piano” roll first. It’s a detail that is easy to miss from the video. Your sequence can only exist on the blocks or in the piano roll – not both – for obvious reasons, if you take a moment to think about it,
The other possible cause – looking at the wrong channel. Check filter group, make sure you not in an automation clip with the same name.

When I set up a bass like you do, then open the piano roll, there are no notes on the piano roll, even though there are notes playing.
December 25th, 2011 - 00:24
@GustavsRe That is because the output does not assign anything to the mixer – it offsets. You have to put the FPC on its own mixer track first – then it will work by off setting from the mixer track you assigned to the FPC. It’s not intuitive for technical reasons, but its really useful that you can sequence it all on the same piano roll track and split the individual notes like that. Easier to set up then it sounds too – the reason for the video, but somehow you missed a step.

Hmmmm 09:10 confuses me. I dont understand how i can assignt the kick to a individual mixer track . I set the output to one in FPC, but the kick doesnt show up in the chanel mixer.
