How To Make A DX7 E-Piano Patch on The Nord Lead 2X
Переглядів 1,4 тис.3 роки тому
First video on the new channel! This is a brief look at how you can dial in a Yamaha DX7 style e-piano sound on the Clavia Nord Lead 2X. We make use of the FM amount knob as well as envelope 3 and the filter. This channel is still very much a work in progress, let me know any thoughts you guys have and if you did like it consider leaving a like and subscribing. KIKO1 Links: linktr.ee/Kiko1beats

    Hello, I have been searching forever trying to isolate my synthesizer sounds because my synthesizer is controlling FL studio's buttons as well. So when I play a song, random buttons are being pressed inside FL studio when I just want sounds to play, not my keys controlling random buttons at the same time. . Please help! thank you!

      FL Studio will send midi data to your synthesiser and the audio will come back into FL Studio. FL Studio is in control but your synthesiser is also in control. You can't have two in control so you have to turn local control off on your synthesiser. If you speed up the bpm in FL Studio it will also control the speed on your synthesiser.

    In my inputs, I only have options for my laptop microphone. How do I get all those extra inputs? I have connected an M-Audio interface with the 1/4in cables from my Synth to my Interface, yet it only detects my Mic inputs. I'm confused as to how to resolve this.

    Someone please help, I can’t even get my Synth audio to go through FL. I have a microbrute, which has a TRS cable from its output going into a focusrite, which is then going into my computer. Still when I select inputs 1 and 2 no sound goes into the mixer. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Awesome video, great content. i just bought a jx-08 and tried to hook it up to my computer to use in FL 20 via USB-C. When i follow this procedure you showed, all that happens is the synth ends up controlling sounds within the DAW, but no sounds from the actual synth can be heard from the DAW. Makes no sense to me. Can anyone help please?

    This is great, but what if I want to select a patch from a bank of preset patches of the hardware synth I connect. Some recent synths include a VST that can control the sound and even select patches. I know FL Control Surface is there to create such an interface but there is very little information on this option.

    • @kikostreams5042
      @kikostreams5042 2 роки тому

      Sorry for late response, yes, if you're using USB MIDI then you connect the printer cable to the back of your synth and the USB A side to your laptop, then you can select the MIDI Output and Input under the MIDI tab (your synth's name/company should show up, if it doesn't look up if this synth needs Drivers to be installed from the company website)

The little orange knob in the upper-right lights up when I hit notes, but no audio. I'm not finding anything to clarify what I'm doing wrong. Every time I get new gear there's ALWAYS some sort of initial hiccup. HELP!!! Thx

    • @kikostreams5042
      @kikostreams5042 2 роки тому

      So remember, Audio and Midi are 2 COMPLETELY different processes. For audio you plug in the TRS cable from the outputs of your synth into your interface. Then in FL you make sure your audio interface is selected under "Audio settings" then go to any insert on the mixer, select the input that your microfreak is plugged in to and you should get audio. Sounds like you have midi mostly set up?
