That means when we program this sample into FL Studio, there is no more room to turn it up without distorting! Deceptively, FL Studio’s internal channels use 32 bit depth which is a scalar amplitude system. This means that within the program your sounds won’t clip.

MIDI Keyboard

Not

A MIDI keyboard is an essential piece of equipment for a producer. If you plan on making beats then I highly recommend you get a MIDI keyboard.

A MIDI keyboard will allow you to control virtual instruments as well as recording drum performances. I like to think of a MIDI keyboard as a virtual piano but it can be much more than that based on the virtual instruments that you have. For example Sytrus is a virtual instrument within FL studio that allows you to play all kinds of different sounds from pianos, electronic sounds percussive sounds, and miscellaneous sound effects. All of this can be controlled from a MIDI keyboard.

Why you should produce with a MIDI keyboard

It’s not absolutely necessary to use a MIDI keyboard when producing beats but highly recommended. When you’re painting out your notes in the piano roll opposed to playing it on a MIDI keyboard it becomes hard to improvise or make up parts as you go. Also, it loses all feeling because there’s no velocity change or slight timing differences giving it a human groove. I have also found that once you learn the basics of composing with the midi keyboard it becomes a much faster process and you are able to make beats faster.

How to connect your MIDI keyboard to FL Studio

To connect your midi keyboard to your DAW you’re going to need an adapter. The easiest way to do it is a MIDI to USB cable. This cable has two MIDI connections that will go to your midi keyboard and a USB connection that will go to your computer. Most likely your adapter cable will also come with drivers that need to be installed on your computer in order for it to work. The first step is to install that disk on your computer before connecting anything. After you have successfully installed your drivers connect your MIDI connection to your midi keyboard making sure that you plug them into the appropriate spot on your keyboard (they should be labeled. Once you have done that you can plug the USB end of the cable into your computer.

If your keyboard requires a power connection turn it on at this point. After doing this your computer should recognize the USB connection as it would any other USB device such as an external hard drive or mouse. Once your computer recognizes that it is time to get set up in FL studio.

In FL Studio go to Options, MIDI Settings. Choose your device in the input and output sections of FL Studio. Now when you hit a key on your MIDI keyboard on a channel that has a VSTi you should hear it play.

Thats it!

Fl Studio Won't Play Sound

FL Studio 6 will not accept input from my MIDI controller for some reason. My controller is plugged in and connected via USB and I always make sure its on before I start FL. I have the output device in MIDI settings set to the correct driver (in fact ive tried all of them and none of them work), and synced the output device to FL. I have the input device set to my controller. I also have MIDI remote control enabled and auto-accept input device enabled. In short, I've done everything the video/written tutorials have said to do and yet I still don't see the orange light flash indicating MIDI input and I don't hear any noise. I don't know what else to try as I've tried every possible option I can think of. Oh and my keyboard works fine, its brand new. ALso I've posted in the fruity forums but no one has provided a solution yet. So yea, what should I do?
