The Keyboard editor will allow you to have quick access to each note/pitch value in the step sequencer when working with "steps."
To get started with using the Keyboard editor in the step sequencer, you only need to have the step sequencer open with some channel data on your given steps.
- Engage the channel Select button (small green slit) or click on a channel as shown in the following screenshot:
Fig 3.22
- Click on the small box that looks like a piano key in the upper right-hand corner of the step sequencer.
- Click on the note/pitch that you want to use for your given channel.
- Use the channel Select (small green slit) to change the channels and still have the Keyboard editor open.
- Click on the small box above each column of the piano notes to engage a slide/portamento effect. When engaged, it will show a small symbol that looks like half a triangle. In the previous figure, the portamento effect has been engaged on three notes in the Bell channel.
- Hold down Ctrl to drag all of the notes at once. They will stay relative to each other, and you will be able to drag all of them up or down at the same time.
- Left-click and drag on the piano columns up or down to find notes/pitches further up and down the piano.
- Right-click to erase the data in the Keyboard editor and associated step.
The Keyboard editor will work for any virtual plugin, drums, or percussion. You can change the pitch/notes of the data currently being entered as "steps," or you can click on a piano note and it will automatically add the step in your associated column. You can click-and-drag on each column and hear the sound output of each note as you drag up or down. This allows for immediate variations of notes without the need to open up the FL Studio Piano roll.
