noob midi question

So I spin records (who doesnt)... and lately I've been trying to fuck around with FL Studio. I been following tutorials and reading up and whatever, it will come with time. I just read a whole article on MIDI. Basically what I got is that I can load a midi file into a given program and use that pattern but change the synth (or drum) around. Can I and how would I do this in FL Studio (or if anyone can recommend another program). I'm just learning, and I don't have much of a music production background and I think this might help me out a bit, trying to 'recreate' a song I already know than get all lost trying to come up with riffs and loops etc.

get the synth that you are going to want to use and drag it out so it's a channel. now go to the piano roll view of the synth (right-click> piano roll). in the top left portion of the piano roll view window go to file> import midi file.

ehhh... hope that helps somewhat.

The way I do it:

1. Insert a synth of my choice
2. Goto the piano roll
3. Ctrl + M
4. Select your midi

ugh, if you look through this forum, there's a thread where someone posted a link to a zip file with tons of them. I stumbled on it last night, but didn't download it, and now i can't find it again.
