This allows you to change the mapping of computer keyboard buttons to MIDI output. If you right click the button you get numerous options. Now Z will play C, S will play C#/Db, X will play D etc. It’s a bit simpler than how it works in other DAWs, because in FL all you need to do is press a single toolbar button. Your computer keyboard can input MIDI in FL. Somehow I rarely see people talking about it, or see it used in projects.įLStudio has a a few software based controllers that you can interact with via mouse/keyboard.
I’m going to spoil this article a bit, and tell you that this is one of FLStudio’s strong points. It may seem weird to bunch these things together, but in FLStudio they are linked (pun intended) together. I’ll be covering parameter modulation and hardware controllers in the next 2 posts.
