The CPS started as a bit of an experiment withing the Image Line scripting forum for FL Studio. When the original plugin python script ("native_pot_parameters.py") for the Novation FLkey & 37 was starting to get a little "out of control" after being modified by multiple people. It was recognised that there would be a significant... Continue Reading →
We now have this enhanced support for over 200 third party plugins all of which map to a standardised set of parameters so that you intuitively know what each knob on your controller is going to do before you even reach for it! https://youtu.be/VtGvQybtRXA How the parameter mapping works and typical setup experience Below is...

The Basics As you might expect from a pedigree that dates back decades there is a lot to consider when using the UC-1. To make things simple and for the purposes of brevity I have included links that explain some of the technical terminology that has grown up around the naming of the knobs (highlighted...

This new script means that all "VPOTS" (knobs) on the FLKey keyboards are now "automagically" mapped to logical parameters within the plugins themselves (without requiring any user setup beyond the initial instalation) - now including the newly released "Lowdown": https://youtu.be/O94mOmoGlQE The "Lowdown" (Moog Taurus) The Lowdown Bass Synthesizer recreates the super-fat, room-rattling sounds of the most legendary...

While the figures are still very modest the graph above shows the difference of highlighting one of your YouTube videos to the relevent audience. Over the weekend the video which was about the automatic manipulation of Cherry Audio plugins with the Novation FLKey keyboards, which had previously only managed to attract 50 views, got a...

The holy grail for me in relation to managing plugins is to be able to change plugin parameters from my keyboard and/or control surface "automagically", that is to say, I have to do the absolute minimum to be presented with options to tweak the parameters using hardware-based knobs and dials. Back in the ages, Mackie... Continue Reading →
So the original Mackie Controllers all have a "rude solo" light which is described in the manual as follows: "If you work on a mixer that has a SOLO function with no indicator lights, and you happen to forget you're in SOLO, you can easily be tricked into thinking that some-thing is wrong with your...

FL Studio already has a great "MPC -like" drum editor called the FPC (more info here) but this uses the drum samples that sit on your hard drive so what happens if you want to utilise the kits from an MC-101 - and specifically audition the kits at Mix Down to see if other kits... Continue Reading →
I have my MC101 connected to my PC using a USB Cable with the audio out connected via my Audio Interface (Scarlett Focusrite in my case) The whole process is deceptively simple: Midi Setup for my MC101 (Port Number is not important as long as it is the same for input and output) Step 1...

If you have any old Windows laptop or tablet running Windows 10 then this can be a real lifesaver and give you extra "real estate" for your DAW. In the above image I am sharing my Jupiter 8 (Roland Cloud VST) from FL Studio 20 onto a spare PC - a bonus being because the... Continue Reading →
