FL Studio Tutorial - Basic Introduction

FL Studio is a pattern based sequencer. This is somewhat different than the more "normal" sequencers in that they are more arranger-centric. While being pattern based is different, it is also very easy to understand and can lead to highly creative results.

The basic interface and workflow relies upon 3 main areas that work together. The Pattern, The Playlist and The Mixer

Pattern

The pattern is where you will generally create the various musicl phrases or "loops". These loops are created by placing a new channel in the pattern and assigning it to play back something. These can be drum beats, samples or instrumentation.

A pattern channel can be any type of sound source supported by FL Studio whether it's a VST instrument, a built in generator or a WAV/OGG/MP3 sample. The Pattern supports note entry in either the step sequencer or the piano roll (FL Studio Producer and XXL only).

Each channel can be further augmented by assigning it to a Mixer channel to be further processed. for more details click here
