How To: All MIDI Settings FL Studio (Before Midi Setup Watch This) | FL Studio Midi IN DEPTH

Image-Line should put you on their payroll. Great job... well done. This playlist is GOLD.

It would be so sick if they did.

[@easterndust]

In regards to the MIDI Channel Through option: I have M-Audio Air MIDI controller, it allows me to select up to 16 MIDI channels from the keyboard itself. When I load Kontakt and import, for example, three different libraries, with midi channels 1,2,3, the keyboard is connected only to the library that is on the 1st midi channel. Even if I select the 2nd or 3rd midi channel on my keyboard, the other libraries do not become active. When I have engaged MIDI Channel Through, and I have selected the 2nd midi channel on my keyboard, the library on midi channel 2 becomes the active one. So if you have loaded up 16 libraries in Kontakt, each on different midi channel, you can select which one will be triggered by your keyboard.

Super sick! That’s actually really cool to know. I’ve always used the midi out plugin, gunna have to try this 💪

[@allenrose2213]

I’m SO STOKED ABOUT THIS thank you so much, it really was a last resort for me and it’s all Gold.

Thank you! I have used mostly electric guitar input to FL but recently dove into MIDI and some keyboards and korg nanos. THIS is exactly what I needed so thank you so much for making these FL Studio videos. I will be watching more of your videos. Great stuff!

[@ScaleAudio]

Awesome! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🤙

[@ScaleAudio]

Especially the awesome person part! 💪

[@rustyshackleford5478]

Great stuff fella. It seems that these things should be some of the first things someone should learn in this vastly technical field of music production. And yet two years into this process I'm here on this channel scratching my noggin. However, your approach to teaching this boring side of music is also boring but highly retainable. I feel that so many producers talk way too fast when describing something they obviously understand, but we don't and fast teachers have us getting tired pausing and rerwinding. It gets so annoying at times I just give up. So thanks a bunch for your time and teaching me slowly. Hehehe

[@ScaleAudio]

I am having difficulty with something that I might be overcomplicating for myself. I have a generic expression pedal hooked up to my NI S49 mk2. I want my expression pedal to be a secondary control for the CC1 modwheel parameter. Can I have two things (in this case the keyboard modwheel and the expression pedal) control the modwheel? Great channel. Thanks.

[@ScaleAudio]

That is a good question. I’ve never tried to do what you are asking. You could see if your mk2 has setting that allow you to change the expression pedal to CC1 also. You can also try using the midi out plugin and see if it will allow you to assign 2 knobs to the same CC#. Then you can just use that midi out channel as a middle man between you and whatever virtual instrument you want to play.

[@rdalcroft3934]

I really don't understand FL studio, for not sticking to the MIDI standard, used by every other DAW!! This is so convoluted. Why cant I just have an option to set my Sustain pedal to CC64. Not a setting within a vst that is CC64 of that one plug in?? I mean How hard can it be to implement this. And the worst one is the Pitch Bend wheel wheel!! A lot of VST's do not have that option. So I can only use the wrapper option for this. But when I open a new project, my setting for the Pitch bend all default being set to nothing. I realise I can set up a template, and start from there. Pitch bend, MOD wheel CC1, Aftertouch, and Sustain Pedal CC64, these are all common settings which should all connect without having to program them. Great Video though, you explain everything well. Thanks..

[@ScaleAudio]

Yeah, some things like the inability to program transport controls kills me a bit. Happy the video was informational!

[@AutPen38]

My understanding is that the original creator of FL hated (parts of) the MIDI standard, so refused to implement it fully and people have had to use workarounds ever since. It's really annoying that some very basic things don't work straight out of the box. A few makers of MIDI keyboards/controllers don't even put the FL logo on their packaging (with all the other DAWs that work immediately with their devices) or supply MIDI templates for FLS because it's such a pain.

Awesome job I always had mines or cell or none now I know its line keep the videos coming bro thankyou

Most def! Thanks for watching and engaging 🤙 happy to have you around!

[@TheSimpleCitizen]

This is such an amazing find... I needed this topic explained exactly like this... while I've been learning production daily for years now, there are certain topics/techniques that , yes, i utilize , but feel that if i knew certain things all the way thru like i do in other areas, i could unlock new inspiration. It's just for rmw whatever reason, i just can't lock my brain around certain things... And i always seem to find tutorials that either assume too much or are just too much to follow for whatever reasons, or at least for my add to deal w/ lol... Anyway, i appreciate the extra details, explanations and examples. #subbed

[@Studio7g]

i have an MPD26 and the knobs give random inputsq without me touching it, is there any way to disable some midi controlls so it doesnt interfere with others?

[@ScaleAudio]

Nothing I can really think of. If you go to your Midi settings and turn off "auto accept detected controller" that could help. "Auto accept detected controller" is what makes it so that you can simply turn a knob and have that knob on your midi controller automatically attach to a parameter within FL Studio. If you turn off the "Auto Accept" option, you will have to manually accept the controller you are linking. Besides that, I'm not sure to be honest.

[@phenke1200]

I just came across your videos and they are a great help for those of us not fully versed in MIDI! I do have a recurring issue that I just can't seem to resolve: when I add more than one 3rd party VST to my project, I am unable to isolate and play subsequent VSTs independently: they always play in sync with the very first one I added (I can, however, play the first one added to the project independently). I've tried routing each one to a MIDI Out as you've shown, (including the first VST added), and still no luck. I am using a MicroKORG as my controller. Any insights? Thanks!

[@ScaleAudio]

It sounds like the first plugin has a port routed. If you go to midi settings you should have a port associated with your controller. If the same number port is associated with the first plugin, then it won't matter if you switch to another plugin, it will always play. Hence, your first plugin and the subsequential ones playing at the same time. This may or may not be your issue but it is the first thing I'd check. You can find the port routing for a plugin on the VST wrapper settings of the plugin.

[@phenke1200]

@@ScaleAudio Thanks will give it a try!

[@phenke1200]

Update: That's exactly what was happenning! Really appreciate you responding and suggesting the fix. Thanks so much!

[@ScaleAudio]

@@phenke1200 happy it’s resolved!! Keep making awesome music 🫡

[@Astro.98]

Hi I’m having trouble with midi routing. I don’t have the option to change the input or output on my VST. How can I fix this?

[@ScaleAudio]

Depends on which input/output you're referring to. which VST is it? Also, what are you trying to achieve by changing the input/output on your vst?

I wish you could! Lol! That’s alright though, commenting is better anyways 💪 thanks a bunch!

[@jtjg6619]

How can I make a button on my midi controller change the current selected channel? For some reason the controller is already dooing this but it's not the right buttons and not the right channels it's selecting when pressing the buttons how can I solve this?

[@ScaleAudio]

If you can program the #CC's assigned to each button on your midi controller, then you can check and see which #CC is assigned to the button you said is changing the selected channel. Once you figure out those settings you can program that same #CC to the button of your preference. They could be MMC info besides CC as well but regardless, if you can replicate the settings of the button that is already doing it and apply those settings to the button of your preference you should be good to go. FL Studio itself doesn't offer much customization or help regarding special actions like changing the selected channel. With that said you have to make the changes on your controller. The most customization you have for these things is choosing a preset in the Midi Settings menu. Generally changing these presets will change which #CC's effect which MMC or CC destinations within FL Studio. You don't get much of a choice past the presets though.

I'm having a problem with my connection..I did connect everything bt whe I press my keys on my Akai mpk 49 i can't here any sound on my mornitors bt on my fruity loops on my screen it's showing that I'm pressing something bt no sound....please help

[@ScaleAudio]

If you are seeing it on screen then it’s most likely not a midi issue unless there is a velocity problem. If you are trying to hear audio from the keyboard, the keyboard doesn’t actually send audio info, only note, and other value information that is used for velocity, knob positions, and other parameters within FL Studio. What plug-in or instrument are you trying to play with your device?

[@ADuBToR]

wdym can't live record ? have you ever opened up edison ?

[@ScaleAudio]

Completely different than performance mode which is meant for FKJ style live performances minus.. the live recording. At least according to the FL Studio user manual cuz that’s where I got that fact from. I don’t use performance mode though so I’m not we’ll versed in it and maybe there’s a workaround. However, you are correct in a normal context. Edison is an audio editor, you can record live into the playlist as well as into the editor.

[@ScaleAudio]

Was looking into performance mode. Looks like piano roll cannot be recorded live in performance mode, no statement of any other limitations. If you cared lol

[@ADuBToR]

@@ScaleAudio oh well sry then ... i got triggered by usual fl abuse x)

@@ADuBToR no worries, somebody else actually asked me about performance mode. Between you and them I was motivated to look further into it and learned something new 🤙

Hey, I would like to assign a pad to change FL presets of a VSTi but I can't find a way to do it, do you have any idea how to ?

[@ScaleAudio]

I do not, this would probably be tricky to do in FL Studio. If the VST is 3rd party and has built in preset's its possible you could assign a CC# to it, but that would be a per plugin situation.

[@ScaleAudio]

Please let me know if you find a way to do this!
