putting bass lines from tabs onto fruity loops

paulc123	Date: February 13, 2006 @ 6:06 AM I tried putting this bass line in fruity loops: G--------------------------------------------- D--------------------------------------------- A--7-7-10-7-5-3-2----------------------------- E--------------------------------------------- I tried using the keyboard editor but there are not enough A notes and then I tried using the piano roll and some of the notes were to high. I am a beginner with bass on fruity loops (usually play drums)so any help would be great. Thanks

paulc123	Date: February 13, 2006 @ 1:16 PM Yea I've tried that but then the bass line doesn't sound the same as the song, thanks for the quick response tho.
DigitalEntropy	Date: February 15, 2006 @ 3:31 PM it depends what bass sound youre using for your song. ill check back on this in a little bit when i get the chance to play the line on my bass and try and get it into FL smoothly. you might want to try a combo of bass sounds. i usually go with a hip bass/boo bass combo. and then offset the hipbass by a smidge. youll get the treble sound of the boo bass combined with a nice low end.
paulc123	Date: February 16, 2006 @ 5:21 AM I'll make a few copies of the sample I want to use use and change the pitch for them. I'll see how that goes might not be as simple as it sounds though. DigitalEntropy, if you manage to getit in FL smoothly can I give you my e-mail so you can send the saved file to me? Thanks for the help.

AdNauseam	Date: March 3, 2009 @ 5:37 AM It sounds like you're looking for a looped bassline, right. One way to do it (if a little roundabout) is to enter the tab manually in a program like Finale Notepad, save as a MIDI file, then import into FL as a single pattern. You can then edit it as you'd like.
AdNauseam	Date: March 3, 2009 @ 5:39 AM Addendum-- you can also change the key of the pattern in either FL or the original program, in the case you are matching the samples in that way.
