Perhaps my biggest achievement to date - I have invented a cool new Smiley Face! (at least until someone tells me I haven't \\;-)) Update:Also home of the official Dr Who Smiley Face (Matt Smith Era) #DrWho #MattSmith\\:-)X The Cowboy: -):-) The sixties chick: @@:-) And the Cheeky Monkey::-@
I am nearing completion of my work on this script and wanted to post this by way of an update. The QCON Pro X is unique in controllers in having a second display immediately above the faders (It also has some other great features - stereo master meters, bespoke hardware based templates and the most...

So throughout the day I have been looking at how this controller works with FL Studio and as I see a particular bit of functionality being demonstrated by SSL I have found myself wondering if it will work with FL Studio. One such piece of functionality is the focus control - where the "big knob"... Continue Reading →
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 →
