zee_werp Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Hey all I've just been making some loops and beats in FL studio 5, and I noticed that when I was flicking between them while in 'loop' play mode rather than 'song' play mode, that it sounded really cool. I am wondering, how do I use just a part of a loop in the playlist, rather than the entire thing? So that I could have them switching between each other without doing it manually. I was thinking it would either involve clipping the actual loop to the sections I wanted, or else adding some kind of volume control automation to each pattern. Can anyone tell me how to do one of those things, or maybe something else that would work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grimoire Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 my guess is just making a new loop with only the part you want to use is the easiest option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zee_werp Posted April 6, 2005 Author Share Posted April 6, 2005 Ah yes, I will give that a shot, though it will be tedious!! Still, I would love to know if anyone can tell me how to make automation for a whole pattern (volume, pan etc) rather than just for each seperate channel.

lofi Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 U can use one pattern for 'Main Automation'. There is always already one called 'Main Automation' u can use this one and automate the volume during the track for one channel or whatever.
