sharp keys
View this Thread in Original format

i just caught on about the keys in FL piano roll,

C1, C2 etc are different octaves and it goes up the way CDEFGAB. and in between each letter, there is a # note (i think this means the 'sharp' key wich is a little black key on a keyboard - is this correct?)

except theres no E# why is this?

also when making melodies or chords, what should u do stick to only the normal keys, or incorporate 'sharps' too?

what are the sharp keys or #notes for especially, does anyone have any insight? :conf: :conf:

There is no E# on any keyboard ever made.

only C#/Db D#/Eb F#/Gb G#/Ab and A#/Bb
ASFSE
E# = F

i thought this thread was gonna be about keys that cut you, cuz i have that problem

Exactly. And B#=C (third note in the key of G# major, for example). Conversely, C-flat=B and F-flat=E. They're called enharmonic notes and the name of the note all depends on what key you are playing in.

Maybe you're playing a bit too roughly? :conf:

agressive producing sounds like a good idea to try out :D

wouldn't that make it sounding a bit EMO?

cheers buddy, that chord house thing looks useful, even though i dont completely understand it yet.

so what are all your favourite notes?
i know some keys only go with certain keys.

and what exactly is a G# major? :nervous:

Favorite notes? I didn't know that people had "favorite notes." :p

vercetti101
so when your producing you dont tend to use a certain note that you like?

i like stuff like green martian - harmonic minor.. presumably written in "harmonic minor" whatever that is? a certain group of notes, going in a certain direction or something.

I think you're getting the term "note" confused with "key." A "note" is a tone played at a certain frequency. A "key" is a set of notes. The sets of notes called "keys" are ordered by something called a "scale." The type of scale (major / minor / pentatonic / etc.) specifies what intervals are between one note and the next.
