Here's a simple, but effective, method for adding presence to dry drum or other percussive sounds. Something the FL Studio Guru learned waaaaay back in the day when the 128 Kb was still considered adequate RAM for a sampler.
We noticed a few people missed the introduction of Layer Randomization in FPC. This video shows where the control is and how to use it.
You can download the FPC Hi-Hat example used in this video from this Looptalk thread.
Left-click the randomization button to activate it, then overlap the velocity ranges of the Layers to be randomized. If you have enough layers you can have different randomization groupings over different velocity ranges. Note: Lock Layers (the similar looking button on the left side of the velocity preview strip) must be disabled to overlap layers.
Right-click the switch to select from:
Cycle - Each Layer in the velocity group will be played, in turn, each time that velocity group is played.
Random - Layers are played at random from the velocity group.
Random (avoid previous) - Layers are played at random from the velocity group, with the restriction that the same Layer will never be played twice in a row. Random selection can sometimes cause a singe Layer to be played repeatedly, defeating the purpose. This random option can help to avoid obvious identical hits with repeated fast playing of a pad.
TIP: Generally the Random function is designed to select from a number of samples played at similar velocities, with subtle and natural variations between them caused by human inaccuracies or left/right hand variations. Layer randomization eliminates the artificial and mechanical sound often associated with a single sample rapidly played. You will find however by equalizing the volume of a number of Layers (use the Layer Volume knobs) played at even very different velocities, natural playing can be 'faked' with only a few sample Layers.
Drumaxx is a percussion modeling instrument that gives total control of 16 physically modeled drums. Each drum can be routed to independent output for external effects processing. Drumaxx includes 130 drumkits, 900 drum patches, 200 drum patterns and not a single sample in sight.
Multi-output for individual effects processing on each pad
Huge range of modeling possibilities covering sounds from cymbals to kettle-drums
Velocity modulation matrix for detailed expressiveness
Integrated Stepsequencer with trigger-key playback
Integrated effects
MIDI learn
VSTi (2.4 Win/OSX), AudioUnit (OSX) & FL Studio native formats.
Following the huge success of Harmless, we are launching Drumaxx with the pay what you think it’s worth system. Until the 31st of March you can pay a minimum of 9 Euro to cover our costs. Dowload the unlockable demo from the Drumaxx web-page check it out then go to the Image-Line shop and show us what Drumaxx is worth to you.
Image-Line is also pleased to announce that we will donate 1 USD from each sale to support Haiti earthquake victims.

From time to time we have users asking why their audio files don't sound the same in a media player vs the live sound in FL Studio. The Guru explores this problem and declares it nasty! August 15, 2012
FL SynthMaker can be used to make synth plugins, effects and dashboards (to control external gear). In this tutorial we give an overview of how FL SynthMaker works and use it to create ring modulator and echo/delay effects. May 30, 2012
