The Akai Fire is the first dedicated control surface built to interface directly with FL Studio. Featuring velocity-sensitive pads, an OLED display, and an intuitive one-to-one hardware representation of FL Studio's sequencer, it will be the perfect companion for any beginner or professional FL Studio user. In this article, we'll cover your top questions about the Akai Fire. To do this in FL Studio, I’m going to use a layer with the FPC and a normal sampler channel as children. In the normal sampler channel, I’ve put a sample of a hihat in, and set the root note and note range to the note that corresponds to the pad I want to use for the hihat. Image-Line registration name - (e.g. ACustomer11482597 from the screenshots here), this is the name that was used to purchase FL Studio, or other products, and has some numbers added by our licensing system.This is used for software unlock and back-office identification. The name displayed in the FL Studio Title Bar when launching FL Studio is the name you registered FL Studio with.
Note Repeat in FL Studio, just like an MPC!
The note repeat function on Akai MPCs allows you to trigger a sampler at an interval you chose just by holding down a pad; you hold down a pad, a hihat plays eighth notes or whatever. I’m pretty sure that some midi pad controllers from Akai can do this, just by sending a bunch of note messages when you hold down the pad, but if you have a pad controller that can’t do this, there’s still a way. The Korg Padkontrol’s roll function can sort of do this, but it kind of sucks.
To do this in FL Studio, I’m going to use a layer with the FPC and a normal sampler channel as children. In the normal sampler channel, I’ve put a sample of a hihat in, and set the root note and note range to the note that corresponds to the pad I want to use for the hihat. What? Well, the pad I want to use on the Padkontrol sends out F#4 notes when I hit it. Since both the FPC and sampler channel are being controlled by the layer, both of them will recieve all of the notes from the Padkontrol. By left-clicking F#4 on the keyboard in the channel settings window, it will only respond to F#4, and then by right clicking F#4, I make sure it plays at the right pitch. If you screw up, there’s a reset button in the MISC tab. Now that I’m triggering the hihat with the right pad, I can set it to repeat. In the FUNC tab of the sampler, turn the arpeggiator on. I don’t think it matters which mode (ascending, descending…) you use, since it’s only going to be playing one note. Set the CHORD to (none), this is pretty important. Set the TIME knob until it’s playing the speed you want, .and you’re done, pretty much. Put some drum sounds into the FPC, make sure you have the Layer selected, and play away. If you really want to, you could make another sampler channel on a different note for a double time hihat or something. Usually, I just play the hihats normally with my Padkontrol, but this could be fun, especially with super fast buzzing samples all over the place. Here’s a zipped loop file, if you don’t have a Padkontrol, you’ll have to edit it. Fl Studio Change Root Note

PreviousNext
Image Line have been working towards the release of FL Studio 12.5 for some time now. They tell me it is due for release next week and they have posted a video of all the new features (below). The feature that caught my eye was the new virtual and touchable MIDI controllers.
Touching FL Studio
Image Line has long been fans of touchscreen technology. They are one of the few audio software companies with a decent and workable Windows 10 universal music making app, that works well on tablets and hybrids. FL Studio itself is one of the most friendly DAWs for touch screens. Version 12.5 takes this further with the inclusion of a virtual piano and drum pad interface for touch screen music making.
Both virtual MIDI controllers are vectorial and resizable. You can adjust them to suit your fingers and the number of keys or pads you require. The keyboard can be single or double layered with the vertical position denoting velocity. You can octave up and down very easily, changing the root note or scrolling the keyboard at the top. There’s no musical mode selection or quantised keyboards as yet. Apparently, these features are being developed with a view to version 13. With the pads you can assign them to whatever MIDI notes you want, change the colour and expand to a grid of 16×8 pads.

These virtual tools enable FL Studio users to perform and make music on touch-screen computers without the need for additional hardware. Ideal for platforms such as the Microsoft Surface and other hybrids.
