To change the duration of some of these notes, first make the top scroll bar shorter by left-clicking the right side of it and dragging it to the left. This is an eight-bar loop added to “Pattern 1.” When you play it back, it should resemble a computerized distorted guitar.
Once you see that, compose this into the Piano Roll. When your Piano Roll appears, scroll down to where you can see the c3-c4 range of the piano keys on the left. So go to the Piano Roll by finding “FL Slayer” on the Channel Rack, RIGHT-clicking it, finding the link reading “Piano Roll” and LEFT-clicking it.
If you hit the “X,” “C,” “V,” and “B” keys on your keyboard, you should hear the sounds you’d want to place inside of your Piano Roll in order to compose your melody. It resembles an electric guitar and sound quite like one. Left-click on “ADD” and left-click “FL Slayer” in the drop down menu. Once you open FL Studio 12, it should look like this. This “messing around” will include extending duration of notes, adding your track to the mixing board, and adding a “fruity parametric eq” effect to your track. Now for my final tutorial for FL Studio 12, I will teach you how to “mess around” with composing an instrument’s voice with a Piano Roll.
