Now within Edison, right-click the waveform and in the “Regions” category, select “Detect Pitch Regions.” This will add an orange marker at the beginning of your 808 sample that’s labeled with the pitch. However, when you play that same note with an 808 that’s out of tune, it might play “G” instead of “A.” A quick way to fix this would be to load the sample into Edison by right-clicking on the sample waveform in the channel settings and select “Edit In Audio Editor.” For example, when you load up an instrument like 3xOsc and play the note “A,” it actually will play that note. When these samples are tuned to anything other than “C,” they won’t play the proper notes within the piano roll or from your midi controller. It’s common to have bass or 808 samples that are out of tune and pitched to different notes. Now, everything will maintain the proper channel settings when you load these channel states.Īnother advantage has to do with saving the key of samples. The way to prevent this is by saving these presets as channel states instead. So instead of hearing the new pad preset you selected, it sounds more like a pluck.

For instance, if you select a pluck preset and then switch to a pad, the pad will maintain the pluck preset’s volume envelope.

Typically this mangles the new selected preset into something unrecognizable.

Perhaps you’ve already noticed that when you make changes to your channel settings and switch to a new 3xOsc preset, this will keep the same channel settings from the previous loaded preset. These are some of my favorite presets in FL Studio from any stock instrument plugin. To save your channel settings, click the drop-down menu from your selected channel and select “Save Channel State.” The first advantage is obvious when using the channel states from the “Channel Presets” folder in the browser.įor example, you’ll notice that 3xOsc actually has a larger number of presets available here than the ones located from the preset drop-down menu in the plugin. This has many advantages over saving presets.
