… will only get you so far ….
I hadn't anticipated that this would be quite so easy to use so thought I would do this second post just to show this functionality in FL Studio as it stands now. Essentially it is the same as with the supported DAWs and might just be the stand out feature of the UF8! I can... Continue Reading →
So I got my hands on a UF8 this morning and I thought it would be interesting to see how an (as yet) officially unsupported DAW like FL Studio works with a UF8 "out of the box". Setup was straightforward - SSL 360 creates the required Midi channel(s) to enable FL Studio to recognise the... Continue Reading →
I borrowed my mates Faderport for a weekend to see how well (if at all?) an unsupported DAW like FL would manage with it. I didn't have time for a "deep dive" but the Faderport handled all the basic operations remarkably well (and with the new scripting support in FL Studio I would guess that... Continue Reading →
I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to chat to fellow musician Nadir Omowale earlier this week and it got me thinking about what I would like to see in my "ideal control surface". The introduction of scripting in some of the DAWs (notably, but not exclusively FL Studio) is starting to result in... Continue Reading →
While playing with this controller (see previous post) one of the things I noticed was that it has a separate midi mode "stand alone mode". I wondered if this would work with FL studio and while nowhere near as complete as the Pro Tools implementation for which it was made, it does have enough functionality... Continue Reading →
The Digidesign Command 8, as a piece of technology, is now pretty old, however, as was the case with a lot of things in those days, it was well built and many still function well even today - and, perhaps best of all, it still a lot going for it! What many don't realise is... Continue Reading →
So following on from my exploits with the Motor I have got my hands on the excellent Behringer X-Touch (compact) and I wondered if there were similar opportunities connected with the new scripting capability in FL Studio and the work I had done on the MOTOR keyboard. So my plan is to cover the following:... Continue Reading →
So having access to this keyboard I wondered if there were opportunities connected with the new scripting capability in FL Studio to resurrect and maybe improve on its' functionality. This DAW controller turned a lot of heads on its release and is the only keyboard (to my knowledge) with a built in set of motorised... Continue Reading →
This is a matter of personal preference but I always want to move through the playlist (or scrub it) and find it an inconvenience to have to select this window first! This script "tweak" always selects the playlist window when you use the jog dial. (If you don't have the Playlist Window open the song... Continue Reading →
I noticed that one of the features of the newer control surfaces (QCON Gen 2 and SSL UF8) was the ability to select a track just by touching a fader. I wondered if the recent inclusion of Python Scripting in FL Studio would allow me to add similar functionality to my Behringer X-Touch and extender?... Continue Reading →
