Hi Andy, I couldn't find a copy of computer music, so I downloaded the "Speedsoft Vsampler" soft sampler trial and have that up and running. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to route midi from the step sequencer/piano roll to the DXI Vsampler. The FL docs talk about using FL as a vsti/dxi plugin for other sequencers but as far as I can see, not about using a DXI driven by a midi channel. I've tried the "midi out" and "fruity wrapper" plugins to try to route to the Vsampler, but I just can't seem to figure out how to get the midi data to play the samples in Vsampler. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :), Thanks, OC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Ebling" <andyebling@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <fruityloops@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, April 26, 2003 10:55 AM Subject: [fruityloops] Re: multi instruments in piano roll? > > > > In FL Studio, is there any way to bring several drum sample channels into > a > > single piano roll, so that I can create whole drum tracks on a single > piano > > roll grid? > > > > I've seen this done in Cubase (although only in midi without a soft > sampler) > > in their dedicated drum editor, and was just wondering if anyone knew how > to > > do it in Fruity or a workaround? > > You have several options at your disposal. > > i) create a Layer Channel and make all the drum sample channels children of > that layer, then set the root note and keyboard range for each of the drum > sample channels appropriately > > ii) use a DrumSynthLive channel, which although synthesises drum sounds > (rather than using straight samples) does the job for you. > > iii) get hold of a copy of computer music magazine and use their SR202 VSTi > and load your samples into that instead.
