LFOĪs well as two filters, DirectWave users are blessed with two LFOs to modulate parameters with. Which you choose will depend on the type of sound you’re going for.

Parallel means that audio is routed through the two filters separately from one another whereas Series means that the audio goes through Filter 1 first and then Filter 2. To change this simply select one of the two options to the right of the TYPE drop down menu in Filter 1. When both of your filters are on you have the option of running them either in parallel or series. Once one of, or both of your filters are on, you can alter all the standard filter parameters such as cutoff, resonance and shape. To turn either of the filters on simply select an option from the TYPE drop down menu. This is fantastic as it gives you that little bit of extra control when it comes to building a killer instrument.
#FL STUDIO KEYS PACK HOW TO#
Here you can adjust the attack, decay, sustain and release to sculpt your sound, in our example we’ve created a classic pad sound by setting a slow attack and release.īehind the amp envelope you will also find two more envelopes which can be used to modulate most of DirectWave’s parameters, very handy for detailed sound design! We’ll explain how to use these later in the Mod Matrix sectionīasic controls such as Gain and Panning can be found in the leftmost section of the ZONE panel under the MAIN unit.ĭirectWave, unlike most stock samplers, has a dual filter section. You can find DirectWave’s amp envelope in the ZONE window. If you want to reverse the sample for some interesting sound design, then simply press Alt+Left. Bounce loops the sample forwards and then in reverse until the key is released. The region beyond the Loop End will play on key release - in order to hear this you will have to set a slow release via the amp envelope.
In Sustained mode the looped region will play while a key is held. We already covered the basics of looping in DirectWave, but there’s a lot more flexibility within the Loop Type drop down menu.įorward means the sample is repeated jumping back to the Loop Start once. If the loop mode is disabled then your MIDI notes will act as a gate, only playing the sample for as long as the note is held. To do this simply select ONE SHOT from the menu. If you have loaded some drum samples you may want to trigger your sample as a one shot, playing all the way through as soon as a MIDI note is triggered. You can alter the trigger mode of your sample via the Loop Type drop down menu in the SAMPLE tab. There’s also a couple more options available in the filter and amp sections but we’ll go into more detail on these later Here you can edit classic parameters like cutoff, resonance and the ADSR envelope. The ZONE tab also houses the filter and amp units. This can be tweaked via the ZONE tab using the PITCH TUNE knob. To make a simple, infinite loop for leads or pads select ‘Forward’ from the loop type menu and drag the Loop tabs to set your loop.Įven if you’ve set the root note of your sample, it may not be perfectly in tune. To change the start point of your sample simply go to the SAMPLE tab at the bottom left of DirectWave and drag the ‘Start’ tab to the appropriate starting point. You can easily change the root note of your sample by right clicking on the virtual keyboard in the DirectWave UI. The clip ‘S56_130_G_Synth_1’ sounds like it would make a cool instrument, to load it simply drag it in from the browser window and drop it into DirectWave’s interface.ĭirectWave will automatically pitch the sample across the keyboard, however your sample will not necessarily be in tune with the piano keyboard.
#FL STUDIO KEYS PACK FREE#
We’re going to be working with the free taster pack of Sample Digger’s Dark Garage. Sampling VSTs DIRECTWAVE QUICK-START GUIDEįirst things first, let’s load a sample.
One shining example of this is DirectWave’s ability to quickly and easily create a sample instrument of any VST in FL Studio, allowing you to collaborate with people who may not have the same third party plugins as you. It covers all the bases you’d expect from a modern soft sampler and also some which make you think ‘why can’t every sampler do this?’
FL Studio comes with a few different sampler options, but by far the most powerful is the comprehensively featured DirectWave.
