Can someone please help me with a very simple and basic FL-Studio problem?
How do i make the effect for main-synths, that makes the synth start playing very low and then builds up to its original high sound. I dont know what its called but i think it is a filter or something, and i want it to last for 8-16 bars.
Please help me out! :) |

you said it, it's simply a filter.
You can use an external one, but, prefer the synth filter. With it, you will be able to modify the envelop of your filter. |

Okey, thanks.
But how do i put it into the playlist, and adjust the length of it? |

Hey. You would be looking for a lowpass filter :). If you are new to filters and want a simple no frills filter, go for the Fruity Free Filter. It is excellent. Youll want to automate the cutoff frequency from somewhere around 150-200Hz up to the max for a good sweep(depending on the sound).
The knob to the left of that selects the filter type. The 3 most important ones youll ever use are the first three filters in there, lowpass, bandpass, highpass. The frequencies that are allowed to pass refer to the prefix, such as lowpass; only low frequencies are allowed to pass and the restriction relies on the cutoff. With a bandpass, instead of allowing only high or only low frequencies to pass, you allow some middle frequencies to pass. This is useful for a lot of effects other clicks and pops throughout your song as well as white nosie sweeps.
The knob below the filter selector is the Q knob. In short, the Q knob changes the resonance. Its hard to explain resonance in a small amount of words but I'll try :). What resonance does is with a particular frequency on a filter, some frequencies towards the cutoff are much louder than the other frequencies the filter allows to pass.

I hope this helped somewhat.
Cheers,

Thanks mate!
That really helped me out.
But there is one thing im still wondering about in FL Studio.
How do i put the filter into the playlist so it will controll the synth in the accual arangement, and how do i set the bar-length of it?(I mean like it`s been done in the demo-songs that comes with FL). |
