Fruity Loops Studio Tutorial: Naming & Setting

Video Transcript

"Organization for Loops is usually very important. The program does most of it for you, but if you're not careful you can easily lose things or misplace stuff. It accommodates for your own specific organizational needs. And really helps you out with the simple thing, and naming and setting key values for each beat. I'll show you how that works. As you can see with this sliced beat there is twenty-four slices in this beat, ranging from between b four and c seven. Now say I wanted slice number one to actually be down here at c four because I'm used to it being there. Maybe that's how that works, if I go over here to this individual sample, this is the beat. And you see it's highlighting up there. Here's the name, slice number one, here's the note value. Click on the note value and you can actually change it to any note that's on the piano roll, which actually has a hundred and twenty note values that you can use. So I want to set it to c four, and then there it is. It's down there. Say I wanted to call it kick. It actually has a couple of suggested names that you can use, so I'll just use bass drum one. It didn't really fade, but that's what it's called now. It's called bass drum one. This sort of thing works for when you want to do things like fix it to a general midi drum patterns. Like in general midi, the kick is on c three, and the snare's on d three and e three. And then the hat's on f sharp. So you can set that by doing that with the slicer."
