Wat yall use to create melodies?

Defcon83	Date: May 9, 2005 @ 6:22 AM Hey all, what channels do you all use to create your melodies? i just cant find the right tool. Flkeys is ok but it sounds too boring. flslayer is cool but im trying to create more of a hip hop tune. Any suggestions?
yanongena	Date: May 9, 2005 @ 6:51 AM Sometimes you'll have to play with the FX on a channel. Then ou can create a nice sound. It is a bit tricky but it can be very cool. You just have to look to the samples that come wit FL. Take on and play one channel. Look at what FX is used and play the channel without the FX. It can be very different from the originel, i bet.

orgasmotron	Date: May 9, 2005 @ 1:47 PM lets say you have an flkeys you want to put effects on. left click on the channel name in your step sequencer(the thing that you make patterns in). a box that say Channel Settings should pop up, and on the top right it should have a box with a number in it that says FX under it. this is the FX channel that the sounds will go to. Choose an fx channel that you don't have any other noise assigned to yet. For our sake, you should just leave it at 1 for now. now on the bar that has the buttons for playlist, step sequencer, piano roll, etc. there should be a box that says FX and when you click on it the FX mixer should come up. Along the top you will see a row of numbers, each one a different FX channel. Click on the number on the FX channel that you chose for the flkeys early. Since you chose 1 select the first mixer panel called fx 1. Now you see a bunch of blank spots with little down arrows on there left. if you click on these arrows a list of available effects should pop up. Fruity applies effects from the top of the list working down, so remember that when applying effects. To remove an effect click on the arrow then select (none) from the list. One last thing, on the right of each box is a little twist knob that you can change and that is how much the effect applies, ie. 100% of the sound is effected, at half 50% of the sound is affect, 50% original is let through, or at a quarter 25% is effected, 75% is let through. hope that helps, I have 4.0 but i've used 5 and seem to recall it being the same set-up. good luck!
Defcon83	Date: May 10, 2005 @ 2:19 AM Sweet im using 4.0 too. Im really starting to get it now. thanks for the help.
orgasmotron	Date: May 10, 2005 @ 4:52 AM no problemo, i'm here to help if you have any more questions post them here or send me a note and i'll help you out for sure. p.s. sorry to spam but if you wanna check out some melodies listen to my tune "happy finally" its got a bunch of interplaying melodies and countermelodies using only the built in fruity synths. thats right, no fancy stuff, just some 3xosc and some effects. and maybe one of those DX or whatever things. and some samples. BUT THATS IT.
