FL5 - how to Filter + Key change questions

Hey everyone

I have 2 questions, i hope someone can help.

Firstly, I am using some wav files in the sampler. Now when i put them in the sequencer (for arguments sake lets say i have 64 squares in there) of a little synth loop. What i wanna do is make it filter up from silence (or from the sub bass) to its full glory. The only other way i can explain the effect im after is if you turn all the eq down to -20 and slowly put them all to 0 in turn. Ya see ?

Can this even be done in fruity ? You could do it in reason using maelstorm and have it automaticlly filter the sound up but can it be done in fruity with a sample ? or will i need to use a VST to do it ?

Secondly, i have strange problems if i tried to change the key of a bassline. For example, working with a one note bassline sample in wav format. When i put it into the piano rool and move a block even above C5, it sounds all chipmunks.

Can that be solved or again is it just a problem with using wav files and i need to create them in fruity ?

Thanks

Soemone told me how tol filter (just select fruity filter from the FX menu)

Now im stuck with simply the key change problem.

Check the FL help
btw right click over the filter cutoff knob (FreeFilter or whatever), and select create automation clip. Feature only available in FL5+ i think..
Good luck

Yes, you need FL Studio 5+ to get automation clips at the bottom of the playlist.

As for those wav basslines, I highly recommend using a synth for that. Wav files will simply stretch and shrink according to how far you are from their root key. For example, if a wav bass is C5, and you put one on C7 in your piano roll, it will be shrunk a couple of times, resulting in a shorter sample (with probably lower sound quality). It simply won't work that well...

I don�t like automation clips!!!!@ I still prefer the old way of automation,Here`s why if I create a a filter clip for say a synth and lets say that filter clip-A is for the into of my track, when I another filter clip-B,but still on the same synth and let�s say when the track is near the main riff I add a second clip it seems to "Pull" and offset my existing clip-A Why does Fl do this I forced myself to do things the old way using the automation editor it still works nice and does not cause this sort problems.
I if some could explain why its doing this it b cool.
Cheers
