Theres been a lot of talk of a more dedicated drum programing section for live so I thought I'd throw this in for the Fruity/Live users. Thus ends our lesson on using song mode and the differences between song mode and pattern mode.Perhaps everyone knows this, but I didnt spot it on a search. Now you should have a means for using your patterns to make a song of any length and variation. To demonstrate this IвЂ™ll now open a version that has all the patterns sequenced into a song keep in mind all of these patterns were generated from individual channels from my original single pattern. In doing this all of your channels will now have their own pattern labeled in the playlist for you to string together into a song. You can easily deconstruct the patterns channels into their own patterns by going to the playlist and either going to the main drop-down menu and choosing patterns split by channel or right-clicking on pattern one in the playlist and choosing split by channel, If you create a pattern that includes all programming that you want to use in your final song as IвЂ™ve done here,

If the blocks start to pile up horizontally you can zoom in or out using the zoom time tool just as we did in the piano roll.ДЄnother much simpler and lesser-known method is to make a song from one pattern, to show you this IвЂ™m going to first close this project and open a previously created pattern The length of the song will be dependent upon how many blocks you paint in from left to right, Notice the vertical line comes across and plays the pattern of the blocks and encounters much like we envision happening with our step sequencer back in lesson two, Once your song is now developing and can be heard when you hit play. The links of the blocks you paint in will correspond with the pattern length you can paint them in where only one plays at a time or you can paint them so that more than one pattern plays at The playlist will appear and has two sections one for clips and one for programming patterns.ДЇor this lesson, weвЂ™ll use the bottom half in much the same way we program the step sequencer in every row that shares the name with a pattern youвЂ™ve created you can add blocks by painting them in starting at the far left, To do this we must view the playlist by going to the first button on this toolbar or by hitting f5, This is because while we have a number of patterns programmed weвЂ™ve yet to sequence a song, Once we have all of our patterns ready we can switch to song mode upon switching if we hit play nothing happens, Now we can add or take away from the original programming of pattern 1 to achieve a difference in our two patterns,Д¬ontinuing this process we can accumulate a number of as IвЂ™ve already done here previously, Once you change the pattern too you can go to edit paste or you could use control V on your keyboard to paste your programming from pattern 1 into this new pattern.

This gives us a phone dial like the display to use and changing our pattern in addition to our pattern selector but itвЂ™s limited in that it only gives us up to 9 patterns to choose from,

Then letвЂ™s switch to pattern 2 we can switch patterns by going to the pattern selector box here and changing the number to the desired pattern,ДЄnother option which I like better is to go to options-general settings and then on the pop-up look for a skins area change the skin to the skin named with pattern selector, With our channel selected letвЂ™s go to edit and then copy or you could also just use ctrl C on your keyboard, You could have also held right-click in this area and then dragged up or down to select multiple channels, This should light them all up which essentially selects the channels for copying, if we want to deselect one of the channels just right-click on it to toggle its light off or again to turn it back on, similarly, ThereвЂ™s pattern mode which weвЂ™ve been working with song mode which is relatively new to us,ДЇirst, before we make the leap to song mode letвЂ™s flesh out our pattern into multiple versions while in pattern mode.ДЇirst, we need to copy our pattern, to do this double-click on the green light to the right of the channel name, You may have already gathered that there are really two different modes in FL Studio,

In our previous lessons, we worked with creating and refining our patterns, now in this lesson weвЂ™re going to look at how to sequence those patterns together into a song.ДЇor this lesson, you may want to already have a beat or pattern that you like loaded in the step sequencer,
