A simple little answer will help me tremendously

sticky-glove	Date: February 9, 2005 @ 1:45 AM OK im new with FL Studio and im coming along just fine but theres one thing that is driving me crazy with the pad synths. I'll try to line up a pattern using a Pad sample (like PAD_FullCell) and I can't get smooth transitions between the different notes. Can somebody please tell me how I can get the Pads to blend with eachother instead of them just playing on top of one another? its driving me nuts!
2step-4eva	Date: February 9, 2005 @ 2:01 PM this may not be the easiest way but anyway... make a seperate channel for each note/chord you want the pad on, and play each note/chord all the way through the length of the bit u want pads on. then click on the misc tabs of each channel and right click the 'volume' knob and edit events. in the edit event window have each channel at 50% when you want it playing and 0% when another channel is playing. this way you can make smooth transitions between notes by sloping them up and down. its not actually as complicated as it sounds but like i said there might be an easier way i dont know about.
2step-4eva	Date: February 9, 2005 @ 2:05 PM oh and btw, 4got to mention...you need a seperate pattern to do all the event editing. paste this pattern once at the start of the pad bit and then in the event edit window the bar numbers correspond to how far in the playlist each bar will be (starting from where u paste the pattern u are using) so that u know when to raise and lower the volumes.... ...god that makes absoloutely no sense. sorry. oh and i have FL3 so it is probably different in studio. good luck
slimerubik	Date: March 9, 2005 @ 12:16 AM send everything into the piano roll and let the notes sustain just a bit more over the next one. this should do the trick. you don't need to open different channels to do this. enjoy!
