Your voice is the natural born tutorial voice, gives the videos a very professional touch i say.

[@FireWalkMusic]

Thanks! :)

[@manny_f]

Not quite the same though. With stock plugins the duration of the slide is determined by the length of the note, so you could have a very long glide an a short one on the same instrument without any automation. With third-party plugins the length of the glide is fixed unless you automate it. But yeah, that's just how it is.

[@kozuitheblade41]

My favorite vst's Kontakt Nexus Serum Sforzando

[@error0ne]

well, i washoping you got an universal solution for third party plugins.

[@FireWalkMusic]

Unfortunately, there is none. Every synth is a little different. But the principle is the same though. You might end up having to look for it. Some times it's hidden away somewhere.

[@raverone909]

Aside from the piano roll's slide note feature allowing you to slide, there's the added powerful bonus of adjusting the actual length of each slide within that piano roll. You can't get this type of control from using the portamento features on 3rd party plugins without getting into some really complex automation on portamento rates. So when I want this type of control, I stick with FL native plugins, which can be limiting, but improves workflow... it's a trade-off, really.

[@drunken_beatzzz6418]

@@raverone909 i want effect/vst for portamento ... Is there any way?

[@manny_f]

@@raverone909 Yeah that's the catch. It's a great feature but sadly it's up to each plugin to implement it. There are probably some plugins out there that can do it, though it's never going to be as flexible as FL native plugins.

For me , its just more simple to make automation on the Pitch , i wish there was an normal easy way to just use the piano roll for that. Also an automation is way more accureate and playable like u can do lot of changes and stuff midsong.

[@tfreddy]

Can this be done with Keyscape? Sorry still a beginner..

[@gungod6461]

I am also having trouble with this

[@musicalgamer2482]

I'm using sforzando plugin and mine one doesn't have glide.

[@samkennedy8292]

These videos are awesome, thank you FireWalk. Question - if I'm using a VST like Serum, is there any way to adjust the volume of the notes within the piano roll? With Harmor or Sytrus you don't run into this problem. The only way around it seems to be to make the sound in Serum, move it into Harmor, then adjust the volumes in the piano roll? This is annoying though because you then have to start all over if you want to tweak the original sound. I understand that Serum has volume controls, but it's impossible to adjust volumes for individual notes - and that can be important if you have a melody with tons of notes. Thanks in advance!

[@FireWalkMusic]

I assume you're talking about the velocities? In third party synths you have to set up what controls what in the modulation matrix. Not all presets will come with a modulation for the velocity already set up. In that case, you will have to assign it manually. I don't have serum in front of me right now, but I remember that it's velocity settings are located in the lower right of the synth. Look for where it says "velo" and "note" next to it. There you can set up and adjust the velocities, so that when you press fast and hard on a key, it becomes louder, and quieter when you push gently. I assume this is what you were asking? If it's just volume controls you're after, you can also use events in the piano roll to manually set the volume for every note.

[@TounixX]

Hello, do you know philharmonik 2. I don't see a glide/portamento/slide knob.. is there another option ?

[@nagatosmith1158]

LOL These are the exact VSTs I was tryin to figure out. Thank you very much XD.

[@FireWalkMusic]

You're welcome :)

[@AmityHardstyle]

My favorite VST definitely has to be Sylenth1

[@AmityHardstyle]

I was actually hoping you would show the example of how to use portamento on Sylenth1 (even though I know it's on the bottom right)

[@FireWalkMusic]

Sylenth1 is still good. I know people still use it, but I'm surprised so many still consider it their favorite. It is very good though, and simple to use. I think that's one of the main reasons. Not to mention how easy it is on the CPU compared to synths such as Spire and Serum which is also very popular right now :)

[@FireWalkMusic]

I was going to, but I'm in the process of moving right now so unfortunately I only had time to show two. If I get some extra time on my hands I'll make some short videos showing how it's done in separate synths such as sylenth1, serum etc. :)

[@DaCleva1]

how do you bass slide/pitch bend on xpand 2, I cant figure it out???

[@FireWalkMusic]

I don't have that synth myself so I can't answer that unfortunately :\ Look for the portamento / legato etc. It should be there somewhere.

[@DaCleva1]

i see the portomento mode in the miscellaneous section but i still cant figure it out, really need ur help.

[@zenter_]

This doesn't work on Repro-5 since it doesn't have a "glide/slide" config tab, any hint on how to do it with that synth?

[@dangeroussounds2432]

the universal solution for all vsts is render a clip of your vst playing a 4 bar c5 note and put it in lmms and detune it there and export it back to fl

[@thulanikhumalo2282]

Hi +FireWalk a quick question here,why is does my fl studio 12.4.2 automation click when it comes on?I am using an i3 with 4 gig ram laptop

[@FireWalkMusic]

Hey, what do you mean it clicks? you get noises when automation starts taking effect?

[@thulanikhumalo2282]

Yes when it starts and when it ends,it also spills to the actual song or beat.I am using windows 8.sorry for taking long.

[@thulanikhumalo2282]

Yes even where it ends,I am on windows 8

[@FireWalkMusic]

I've experienced something similar with sylenth1. It was causing a huge CPU spike when the automation was active, causing underruns. Are you maxing out in your cpu meter while this is happening? Does the plugin you're automating have multithreading acctivated in the plugin wrapper?

[@thulanikhumalo2282]

Yes I have multi threaded on and the too bar on the right shows ram and its not even half of the 4 gig.maybe it's the CPU but I checked your videos on how to save CPU and I did all your instructions.then I thought of performance and ticked high performance but I still get clicks,then I maxed out buffer,but still clicks.so I am not sure what's wrong.

[@PURESKILLZ111]

Could you do a kontakt 5 tutorial with this? I'm in a middle of buying the synth, but not sure how does the portamento work there or is there any settings at all. Subbed

[@pianods2266]

An if the the plugin do not have portamento/glide? Sort for my english

Most synths should have this. Even if they don't, there are still ways to achieve the same result, but it will take some more effort.

How to make slide, go to the plugin and enable slide. Yeah thanks I haven't thought of that.

[@PlasmaStalin]

firewalk+ how do i really use the normal speaker. if i try to use it, they are different to my headphone. but i couldn't hear the sub bass kick sound. how can i fix it

[@bernardinaizidoro4924]

I have a reversed role question. How do you make the pitch bend wheel to work when you use Harmor in another daw say like Studio One or Ableton. I know that in FL you have some midi routing to use the pitch bend of Harmor but outside FL there is no response from the controller pitch wheel. Thanks for your help.

[@shaahirjoules3908]

native fl studio plugins enables you to glide entire chords (polyphonic glide). do you know how to do that in third party vsts?

[@FireWalkMusic]

The glide function is unique to FL Studio's piano roll and therefore only works with native plugins. The amount of functionality you'll get out of third party plugins is dependent on the plugin itself.

[@drunken_beatzzz6418]

I have a 3rd prty vst ..called swarplug... It has a porta. Knob... Bt its not working why..?

[@AuCeVi]

I´m trying this with "DVS Saxophone" but I can´t find any legato knob on the plugin, please help @FireWalk

[@FireWalkMusic]

I can't remember right now, that plugin might not have those settings. This is a free plugin isn't it? I think I've used in the past but I'm not quite sure.

Yo my dude, what are some fl third party effects that you know of. Like deeper versions of the flanger or any of the tone shapers to really mess up my samples and(cover my “tracks”) when I am using recognizable physical synths.

[@Frizzle2003]

How do you glide some notes but not all of them?

[@FireWalkMusic]

The glide note feature is native to the FL Studio piano roll, so it's only supported by native FL Studio plugins. For other third party plugins you therefore need to use a different approach.

[@aroy2412]

[@aroy2412]

[@XORISHE]

Nice again. This was a topic I discussed with Gol many years back and the lack of some midi standard to make it work. Your method is a stop gap but doesn't get quite the same as the FL natives, which are _note A to note B over time period C_ that's what makes them so powerful. I use this all the time when composing lead melodies. All 3rd party VST portamento is over a static time period. So I rarely use it as it can't be as expressive. If I have a 3rd party synth I want to use as a lead like this, I'll open up the low high/ range and then automate the pitch bend to get it from note to note with the time I want on a per note basis. But it's a pain.

[@FireWalkMusic]

I think FL users tend to be a little spoiled when it comes to the piano roll as the slide notes are unique to FL Studio. Other daws have other features that FL doesn't have too of course, but once someone get used to the slide notes it suddenly becomes quite tedious to achieve the same thing with third party plugins. :)

[@XORISHE]

I was doing some more experimenting with this, this morning - It's the best solution I found for this so far. In Sylenth1, I went and added its "porta time" to the piano roll events so that I could draw the portamento time whilst plotting notes. It works fairly well.

[@flockafan96]

What if I only want one note sliding and not the whole motiff?

[@FireWalkMusic]

You can always automate the effect on / off

[@FireWalkMusic]

There's a saying: Good artists copy. Great artists steal. I'm not saying you should steal, I'm just saying that every artist is guilty of at least being heavily influenced by someone's work. If you have a melody that you like, and you move the notes around, or use the riff machine and change it quite a bit, then I think you should be good. :)
