One of the most popular questions I get is “how do you randomize velocity in FL Studio?” There are a few different ways to do this, but my favorite method is using the “Randomize” function in the Channel Settings window. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
- Open the Channel Settings window for the channel you want to randomize velocity for. You can do this by right-clicking on the channel and selecting “Channel Settings.”
- In the Channel Settings window, go to the “Misc” tab.
- In the “Misc” tab, look for the “Randomize” function.
- The “Randomize” function will have a slider next to it. The slider will determine how much the velocity will be randomized. The further to the right you move the slider, the more random the velocity will be.
- Once you’ve set the amount of randomization you
1. Create a pattern with notes of different velocities
In FL Studio, you can create a pattern with notes of different velocities by randomizing the velocity of each note.
To do this, first select the notes you want to randomize. Then, go to the Tools menu and choose “Randomize Velocity.”
This will open a dialog box where you can specify the range of velocities you want to use.
You can also choose whether to apply the changes to all notes or just the selected notes. Once you’ve made your selections, click “OK” to randomize the velocity of the notes.
2. Go to the Piano Roll View
In the Piano Roll View, you can randomize the velocity of each note by selecting the notes you want to affect and then clicking the “Randomize” button in the toolbar.
First, select the notes you want to affect by clicking and dragging your mouse over them.
Then, click the “Randomize” button in the toolbar.
A dialog box will appear, asking you how much you want to randomize the velocity by.
Choose a value and click “OK.”
The velocity of the notes will be randomized by the amount you selected.
3. Select all of the notes
In the “MIDI” channel settings window, click on the “?” next to “Velocity” and select “Randomize”.
You can also select a range for the randomization.
For example, if you want the velocities to only be between 50 and 80, you would select those numbers in the “Min” and “Max” fields.
4. Go to the Tools Menu and Select Randomize Velocity
In FL Studio, there are a few different ways to randomize velocity.
One way is to go to the Tools menu and select Randomize Velocity.
This will open a dialog box where you can specify the range of velocities you want to use, and how many notes you want to be affected.
5. Adjust the intensity of the randomization
To randomize the velocity of notes in FL Studio, follow these steps:
- Select the notes you want to randomize.
- Right-click on the selected notes and choose “Randomize Velocity.”
- In the “Randomize Velocity” dialog box, use the slider to adjust the intensity of the randomization.
- Click “OK” to apply the randomization.
6. Adjust the range of the randomization
The default range for Randomize Velocity is set to ±24.
To change this, click the drop-down arrow next to the Randomize Velocity button and select a new range.
You can also click and drag the slider to the left or right to adjust the range.
7. Test the output by playing your pattern
To test the output of your velocity randomization, you need to play your pattern.
When you do this, each note will be played at a different velocity, giving you a truly randomized sound.
If you’re happy with the results, you can save your pattern and use it in your next song.
If not, you can always go back and tweak the settings until you get the sound you’re looking for.
8. Save your pattern for future use.
To save your pattern for future use, simply click the “Save” button in the top toolbar.
This will bring up a dialog box where you can name your pattern and choose where to save it.
Once you’ve done that, your pattern will be saved as a file that you can load into FL Studio anytime you want.
Conclusion
Overall, randomizing velocity in FL Studio can be a great way to add some variation to your sound.
By following the steps outlined in this article, you should be able to get the most out of this feature.
