How To Map Midi Controls in FL Studio (& Record Automation)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- This tutorial will show you how to link external controllers in FL Studio, such as knobs and faders on your midi device, or other external hardware to parameters in FL Studio, as well as how to record automation live when using these knobs and faders. Linking midi to parameters in FL Studio can be very helpful because recording physical movements of knobs on your midi devices can be much easier than manually tweaking automation.
Setting up midi controllers in FL Studio is quite easy and in this tutorial I will show you exactly how to set up different kinds of midi controllers and link parameters such as knobs and faders inside FL Studio to your physical knobs on your midi device. There are two kinds of links that can be set up in FL Studio: Global links and per project links. This video will show you how to use both.
What you will learn in this tutorial:
- How to link external midi controllers to FL Studio
- How to record automation live, using your controller
- How to convert events into automation clips

Thanx a lot. I've just connected my Nord Lead 3 to my PC and now i'm easily using FL Studio linked to my synth.
Your tutorials are great. Very professional and high quality videos with detailed lessons for FL Studio. Wish these videos were out sooner when I was struggling to learn the basics. Subscribed with notifications on. Waiting on your next FL Tutorial, might learn something new.
Thank you very much! :) I'm trying to put out content for the beginners first, but I will be making more advanced tutorials as soon as I have the most basic stuff in place. :)

Is there a possibility to assign a button on the MIDI to open the piano roll or channel rack?
I'm having issues recording the automation for my Digitalis plugin I just got. I have FLEX opened up and tagged on Digitalis in the mixer fx. I assigned the corruption parameter to a fixed rotary knob and it works fine. During recording, I rotate the knob and it corrupts the signal as expected. However, once I stop recording and listen back, nothing about the automation has changed the signal at all. How can I get those effects from Digitalis to record live? Thank you, your channel has quickly become one of my favorites for tutorials
FireWalk Thanks alot !
Hi great tutorial, one question do you know to assign the F# features or the browser scroll/select either, been searching high and low,
thank u bro
You're welcome 🙂
thank you sir
You're welcome / bare hyggelig 😃
Awesome video! Question: If I have two vst's cut-off both assigned to a single knob, how can I make FL Studio only change the cut-off of the focused VST? I use my knobs for audition purposes. Currently my unfocused VST also changes when I work with the focused VST
This dude sounds like the how's it's made person
lmao so true
😆
Literally THE best Tutorial about Controllers
Thanks, glad you liked it :)
Finally I'be found these words - it's not possible to record directly in automation clips in fl studio.
Thank you
thank you. so. much.
You're welcome 😀
this is fire
Thanks :)
OHHHH!!!! YOU CAN TURN EVENTS INTO AUTOMATION CLIPS!?!? Holy shit I didn't know that, and I've been using FL Studio for more than 3-4 years now. Oh my god, I can't believe!!
Glad you found it useful :)
thank you
I have a controller and sometimes I use samples and I want to make a set and use the nobs with effects, how can I assign the effect to the sample and record those effects? (video has been very helpful)
Does this work with older controllers that only have generic script? Having the hardest time getting my VI25 to work properly in FL.
Will be trying this out when I get home from work on Sunday morning, thank you!
Hy 'FireWalk'.
Today I've watched some of your clips.
I know every producer use other techniques and that's good, but there are new helpful ways (powered by you) that I try to understand and use in the future.
Mostly are the kick and bass parts the hardest (for me) and to make a good structure.
I use 'FL STUDIO 11', because...
So it's always better if someone like you show something that can use in these older versions too.
I don't know if you made that, but it would great if you show how to make a wide stereo sound with different instruments (piano the right or) and how to manage the phasing for each instrument that it sounds good in this wide stereo and mono version. And let you time to show it and how to fix (some) problems that it can maybe bring.
And even if you under 100 000 subscribers now doesn't mean that you are not good or are not a pro. So
give nothing of this and make always what you like and think is good.
If you have some time and like listen my song 'SCIFU7E - TRAVELLINK (MIND VERSION l FINAL MIX).
Have fun to make something, nice days and thank you for your work 🍀☕
Hi, thanks for your suggestions. I'll make sure to keep this in mind in the future :)
Take note, I've never seen a thumbs down yet, speaks for itself.
dB Eliyahu indeed!
Let's hope it stays that way :)
FireWalk it must be a UA-cam record 👏👏
Wow thanks you. It’s such a pain to assign in manually through the browser
You're welcome! Indeed 😃
Do you know how to assign buttons on a controller to stuff like turn on/off metronome, bring up the playlist, etc?
Lord Drillbit does someone know an answer please?
