#10 & 11 Works best with hi hats and goes up to 99. For example you can set it up so that pressing the note C3 on your Midi keyboard will trigger a specific pad.ĪUTOMATIC MAPPING: If you click the Midi Note section (#9) and select “ Learn” once you play a note on your Midi controller, FPC will automatically remember to trigger the pad you selected whenever you play that note. #9 Allows you to map your pads to a Midi note. #8 If you have more than one sample in a pad, this will scale your samples so that each sample you have will be triggered at different times depending on how hard you press the pad (if you have a touch sensitive keypad or Midi controller) #7 Will solo, or isolate the pad you choose meaning only that pad will be heard while all other pads will automatically be muted. #6 Will mute the selected pad you choose. For example, if you have 5 snare samples in pad 2 it will control the panning of ALL 5 of your snare samples collectively. #5 Is the pan control for all the samples in the pad you choose.

For example, if you have 4 kick samples in pad 1 it will control the volume of ALL 4 of your kick samples collectively. #4 Is the volume control for all the samples in the pad you choose. #3 is going to allow us to do things like rename a pad, import custom banks and more advanced topics we can cover in more depth later.

17-32 on Bank B Keep in mind each pad is designed for you to assign your own loop or sample into (We’ll cover that soon). Overall there are 32 pads split into 16 on each bank (Bank A & B).ġ-16 on Bank A. This may look intimidating at first but I promise it is very easy to understand.ġ & 2 Will allow you to shift between pads starting from the bottom left pad. You can also view a video version of this tutorial on my youtube channel (coming soon)įirst things first is understanding the interface. By the end of this tutorial you will master using FPC. We will be looking at one of Imageline’s powerful tool for recording drums.

If you’re starting out with FL Studio and are wondering how to get started recording drums, this tutorial will be your guide.
