However, the the velocity sensitive controllers are better for getting those subtle and not so subtle variations in drum patterns, such as Steinberg’s CMC-PD, Akai’s MPD and LPD series controllers, and the discontinued M-Audio Trigger Finger. The Novation Launchpad and APC40/20 have a preset script for the FPC in FL Studio 11, which make them nice out of the box options. If you are using a MIDI Controller, then make sure your controller is able to control the notes in FPC. Here is how I set up FL Studio for making beats:įirst, load up an instance of FPC (delete all other channels if you like to start fresh). One method that I find particularly useful is opening the FPC (named after Akai’s famous MPC series) in FL Studio 11. It’s much more intuitive and organic to create the beats in real time with a MIDI input (especially one that is velocity sensitive), and you usually end up with something that is way different and more distinctive than if you had plotted it out with a mouse, and in much less time. What you start with is an uninspired sequence that you have to manipulate far too much to sound like anything that is really distinctive and interesting. There are several ways to make beats, but about the most uninspiring ways is plotting out beats with a mouse on a step sequencer or piano roll.
