When you are happy, select Convert to score and dump to piano roll in the Tools menu – just like before. You can now playback your recording directly from Edison using the Play button. Not that it matters, but for the purpose of this tutorial I did a simple do-re-mi backwards. When you are done, click the Stop button. It is now time to hum or sing (or ‘ta’ or ‘la’) our melody and I suggest you do this slow and fairly loud (you may need to experiment a bit with this). Edison will now start recording when it detects an input signal. Now, make sure you have selected ‘On Input’ as your recording option and click the Record button. As you can see I’ve done that for Insert track 1. Select the appropriate input source in the External mixer input drop down box (next to ‘IN’) and select the Edison tool in the first FX slot. So let’s try it out!įirst, we need to setup the Mixer for recording using Edison. ![]() For those of us who walk around with melodies in their heads but find it hard to convert them into scores, this is surely an interesting feature. ![]() This means that you can actually ‘hum’ your melody into Edison after which you can convert it into a Piano Roll score. What applies to an existing sample, applies to a newly recorded sample as well. But the point is that you now have the ‘raw material’ to work with. And now that you have the melody in the Piano Roll, you can manipulate it the way you like! This is usually necessary as you may want to shift the note events in time and pitch, adjust the length of indivual note events, etc. Play this pattern and you will notice that it resembles the pitch and pitch changes in the sample fairly good. See below:Īfter this, have a look at the Step Sequencer and the Piano Roll for the channel. Go back to Edison and choose Convert to score and dump to Piano Roll in the Tools menu. I added the Autogun plugin, but any other (non percussion) generator will do. See below:īefore we convert this short sample to a score, open the Step Sequencer (F6) and add a channel to your liking. Select FLS_DontStopMeNow_02.wav and click Open. See below:Īnd navigate to the Vocals folder as shown below: First, start a new empty project and load Edison in the first FX slot of the Mixer. Let’s try it out with one of the vocal samples that comes with FL Studio. You can find it here: How to record external audio sources in FL Studio If you do not know how to record audio and/or have never heard of Edison, I suggest you skim through that tutorial first. Now, I’ve written another tutorial on how to record audio, which also discusses the Edison tool. If you have a nice melody in your head (or perhaps you have a cool (vocal) sample) but do not quite know how to program it in the Piano Roll, let Edison do the job for you. In my search for useful features I came across one that is not so obvious. ![]() FL Studio tutorial explaining how to convert Edison samples to Piano Roll scores
