STEP SEQUENCER

Channel Menu

Right-click on a channel button: A pop-up menu provides some commands for editing channels.

Options

• Piano roll - Shows/hides the Piano Roll view. Appears only when there aren't any active steps in the Step Sequencer.
• Send to Piano roll - Converts any active steps to Piano roll notes and opens the Piano roll view. Appears only when there are active dots for the channel.
• Rename - Renames the channel and enables color changes.
• Load Sample - Appears in Sampler channels only. This command opens a dialog where you can select a sample to fill the sample bank of a Sampler.
• Cut Itself - Checking this option makes each active note cut the previous one. What actually happens is FL Studio assigns a unique value in both Cut and Cut By fields in the Miscellaneous Channel Settings.
• Edit - Contains a submenu that wraps some commands from the main Edit menu.
• Fill Each 2 Notes - Turns on 1st, 3rd, 5th , etc. dots in Step Sequencer's pattern grid. All other dots are turned off.
• Fill Each 4 Notes - Turns on 1st, 5th, 9th , etc. dots in Step Sequencer's pattern grid. All other dots are turned off.
• Fill Each 8 Notes - Turns on 1st, 9th, 17th , etc. dots in Step Sequencer's pattern grid. All other dots are turned off.
• Insert Channel - Contains a list of all instruments selected as favorites. Choosing a instrument from this menu will add a single instance of it below the current one. Click More... to open the Select plugin window, which contains a list of all instruments present in FL Studio (including VSTi and DXi). Double-click a instrument name to add an instance of it in the Step Sequencer. Click the check box preceding each name to mark it as a favorite (all plugins preceded by a check mark will appear in the favorites list). TS404 and Sampler are internal for FL Studio, so they always appear in the Favorites list (and not in the Select plugin list).
• Replace Channel - Choosing a instrument from this menu will replace the selected instrument/generator with the one you have chosen from the list. Click more... to open the Select plugin window, which contains a list of all instruments present in FL Studio (including VSTi and DXi). Double-click a instrument name to add an instance of it in the Step Sequencer. Click the check box preceding each name to mark it as a favorite (all plugins preceded by a check mark will appear in the favorites list).
• Clone Channel - Inserts a clone of the channel after it. The clone retains the instrument type of the original, as well as all of its settings, but does not contain the events and the notes.
• Delete Channel - Removes the channel.
