I bought FL7 about a week ago, finally have sometime, so I installed it, went to open my midi file, no problem, goto play it, but there is no sound, any ideas ?
I have audio output to my sounds card obviously... X-fi. |

Midi is data not audio
^ hope that is not patronising, it is not meant to sound that way |

| What kind of sound were you expecting? The kind you'd get if you opened it in Windows Media Player? |

You have to replace the channel with a vst. Right click, replace and pick a vst.
I usually always throw fl keys on there just to hear how it sounds real quick. |

This is gonna sound stupid but I've been using FL for a loong time and one thing I have consistently not been able to do is export a song in midi format.
I've tried saving it, exporting, I make sure the options to allow midi export are checked off but when I go back to check the file after its done theres no midi data in it at all. Is there something I might be missing? I've read the manual, I've used common sense and I still can't render a midi file. |

You have to go to Tools, Macros, Prepare for MIDI export. Though, you gotta have each channel in 1 pattern, like if you ever imported a MIDI how they are all in one pattern, seperate channels. It's gotta be like that.
After you do all that, then you can export as MIDI. :)
EDIT: If you do the whole song it'll be one channel notes overlapped and what not. Havent messed around with it much...
Hope this helps. |

| there's a plugin called "Fruity LSD", which is used to play general midi sounds. so when you load a midi file to FL, put effect on the master channel and set the channel same as the one with the midi channels. there's even few different soundsets. |
