FL Studio: VFX Color Mapper

Here we go through the functionality and possibilities of the VFX Note Color Mapper in FL Studio with many examples...
Let me know what you think in the comments!

Nice tutorial, when you are pasting the value of the note colour automation I find it easier to go to the channel settings of the automation clip and set its maximum value to the pasted value, that way I can do 0% or 100% digital/binary style on the automation which is easier to draw.

Wow, this is really cool stuff! Thanks for making this

Aaaaa danke schon ! Du bist der Erste, der es fantastisch erklärt, so dass ich es sofort verstehe! Die Engländer und die Amerikaner lassen alles weg, sie spielen einfach mit ihrem FL Studio herum, ohne etwas über den VFX-Color-Mapper zu erklären. Really great video sir ! I knew that I can always trust my neighbors : the Germans, you never fail me when it comes to knowledge and being smart ! Thank you so much for this video ! Thumbs up ! I shall follow you from now on, I can learn so much from you ! Meine Dankbarkeit ist groß

Thank you!

The note colours of single channels effects a couple of things, one i do know of is the arpeggiator. It effects different colours independently.

Is there a way to map each note to a different plugin on a mixer track?

[@bathbombthief]

My vfx color mapper plugin won't accept audio/connect to FL studio for some reason; it only accepts events. Any idea what to do about this?

[@flstudiotricks6903]

It´s not an audio effect... it just works with events... it´s like a midi effect ... Everything you see in this video I feed into the Color Mapper is just event based!

Can you Please share the name of the vst or sample library used for Percussions in this video ? After 6:47 I mean. Thank you.

[@flstudiotricks6903]

Sorry, I cannot remember... This was just something quick I puzzeled together for demonstration purposes...

[@rockythestylishchap7948]

@@flstudiotricks6903 Still. You could you please please find or suggest something similar ? I would love such percussions in my production. I dont have huge budget and learn from your videos on youtube. Your work really help. if you could be so kind to please share some more information it would mean a world to me. Thank you so much for making these videos and taking time to help people like me. Lots of Respect and Love from India.

@@rockythestylishchap7948 You have to search for cinematic percussion, war drums and similar... Normally I get something like this out of Kontakt libraries like Heavyocity Damage or Evolve... If you are on budget I would look into services like Splice or Loopmasters where you have access to good samples for a small monthly fee.

I am not getting this part correctly 9:04. The sound doesn't play when I click 1to2. I am only getting 1to1 to play the sound. I don't understand...?

[@flstudiotricks6903]

1. You have to load a loop on both desks in Slicex... one for Deck A...one for Deck B... 2. You have to make sure you are on the Color tab of the Color Mapper...not on the Voice Output tab... I hope this helps!

[@sanjaycolaco]

@@flstudiotricks6903 Thanks for your prompt reply. I got it this time. I was on the voice output tab- and that's the reason I was not getting the deck B sound. Thanks, once again. Have a Blessed day !!!

[@flstudiotricks6903]

@@sanjaycolaco My pleasure!

[@arkanoid77]

Thanks for demistifying the Color Mapper! But why would you want to make a multi-instrument patcher instead of just having them play separately? Especially if you aren't working on a multi-timbral *instrument* (not group of instruments), this just make things more complicated then simply going through the mixer, don't you think? I mean the 2 decks Slicex tip and the randomization are interesting to look at but I don't know if I will ever use them. They could be useful in a live-set contest maybe? But as for producing, things that are not simple are easily forgotten once you don't use them consistently. Obviously this does take nothing away from the merit of your tutorial.

[@flstudiotricks6903]

It´s not necessarily what shall be done or what´s the most efficient way... Such videos shall just give some hints of what is possible in general... Some people like to work with as little seperate channels as possible... Some people like to work in single windows... I just want to stimulate your fantasy ... Everything else is up to you...

[@arkanoid77]

@@flstudiotricks6903 Fair enough. The video is very useful to understand what this tech does in detail. Maybe I'll come up with something useful. Changing the subject, maybe randomization tools in FL Studio could be a cool topic for a series of video. Ciao

10:27 Not entirely accurate. Changing the type of any point in an automation clip sets the type for automation points you create after that. Randomizing the note colors is cool but what I really want is to map specific keys to specific colors (similar to Key Mapper but for colors).
