You can then add a wide range of effects to your instruments (reverb, phaser, flanger etc.) and route the final result either using the export or using REWIRE® technology. Basic version of the software, without Direct-To-Disk for MAC and PC.įL Studio 20 Fruity Edition Image Line is a pattern-based sequencer, which means that you create your music pattern by pattern using the step sequencer and the Piano Roll and then compile all these patterns via the playlist window (this one also supports audio tracks with hard disk streaming or audio loops directly). Everything you need in one package to compose, arrange, record, edit, mix and master your music in professional quality. For my patch, I’ve chosen pre-compressor drive, reverb gain and a set of filters.FL Studio 20 Fruity Edition Image Line is a complete music production software environment, representing over 20 years of innovative development and a commitment to free lifetime updates. You can set default values for each of them by right clicking in edit mode. Once you’ve created a control element, it too will have a red node in Map view coming out of the Surface module. In Edit mode (the wrench in the top left) it lets you design a basic face plate and knobs for your Patcher patch. This is where you can put knobs, sliders and buttons to control the whole thing by hand, with your mouse or via MIDI messages. Let’s turn our attention to the module that has just been sitting there idly, the Surface. If you want a more live performance-oriented patch, you can skip the sidechain from the dry to the wet, and maybe not everything needs its own reverb or 9 unison voices, which would give you better multithreading performance inside patcher. This patch uses about 15% of FL’s CPU meter when playing 5 notes at the same time, so you do lose a bit of headroom. Now set the compressor up like you usually do. To sidechain in patcher, simply right click the compressor you want to sidechain with, select ‘Inputs->Add one’ and connect your sidechain audio stream to that.
The image above is approximately is what your patcher should look like after doing that. Also give the Keyboard Mapping and LFO tabs a glance to introduce some change in timbre over time. Use the Velocity view to map the Lowpass cutoff frequencies to velocity. On the first 4 articulators, turn on the envelopes, but delete the pre drawn shape using the step mode and make a single point, right click it and set it as the sustain. You now have Envelopes, LFOs and dedicated scaling articulators for Velocity, Keytracking, Macros X and Y and the built in Randomizer for each of the 8 parameter ouputs. Inside the Envelope Controller you now have access to one of the most powerful modulation tools around. In this case that would mean one filter velocity map would affect two filters or volume knobs at the same time. You can of course connect a parameter output to multiple inputs, should you choose to do so. Your Patcher should now be looking something like this. Now, connect the first four red nodes from the envelope controller to the red nodes on the filters, and the second four to the red nodes on the Balances. Do the same for the Balances’ Volume knobs. Now, go to each Fruity Free Filter and activate the Cutoff knobs by right clicking it and selecting „Activate“. You should now have 8 red (parameter) outputs. Go to ‘Outputs-> Parameters“ and select ‘Activate All’. Now, click the Patcher channel that has just appeared.
This menu contains all the plugins you’ve favourited in FL studio’s plugin manager app. Click the „+“ button on the bottom to open your generator database and select Patcher. Patcher Padįirst, access the Channel Rack by pressing F6 on your keyboard if you’re not seeing it already. In the following sections I will walk you through how you can make a beautiful, velocity mapped, key tracking pad sound with integrated sidechain ducked reverb in FL Studio 12. It can contain an unlimited amount of plugins in series or parallel-generators or FX- in both versions and it even has dedicated VFX modules that help streamline the process of creating something rich in timbre and expressiveness.įor easier access to important modulation, you can put knobs and sliders on patchers, front panel, the control surface. Patcher is a strange beast in the plugin world, because it has an instrument version and an effect version. What I’ll be using to demonstrate this with is Patcher by Image Line, a very powerful modular plugin host environment. Here’s the thing though: electronics and electronic music in turn have come a long way over the last few decades and there’s a vast amount of new and exciting software around that enables the electronic-music maker to have possibly more expresive control over their instruments than any other, traditional, instrument.
