FLS 5 help!

Ok, Ive been playing around with FL5.
Ive somewhat figured out on my own how to compose using instruments and effects.
I need to know how I can arrange the patterns to make a "song".
I just know its something to do with the 'playlist' thing on the right.

Can someone help me out here.

errr....Im using the demo version that I downloaded from their site.

Switch from pattern mode to song mode. There is a button for it.

Aye,

Just under the play button there is a little orange option that says pattern or song. You want to be in song mode and then user the grid to place the various patterns in the sequence that you want.

It can be daunting at first but there are things in the online manual that are useful. It's also worth checking out some of the example projects, whilst not amazing by themselves they do give some ideas about what you can do.

ahh... that was what I was looking for. Thanks Nemesis! Ill figure the rest out on my own.

Also, one of my MSN friends forwarded me a link to a good FL studio tutorial last night.

If you have questions you can send me a PM if you like. I use FL5 myself so can send you FLPs etc if you need any examples.
