Im gonna need help with this one
meneedit
Okay, so I came up with this idea the other day but wasnt able to figure out how to carry it out.

I'm using fruity loops so I guess i'm gonna need to use a "peak controller".

I wanna to have a synth which has a cut filter that slowly goes downward... but at the same time I wanna make it so that every time a kick drum occurs, the synth's cut filter is pushed back up to a certain level.

It would be so awesome to know how to do this becuase the possibilities would be endless.


Thanks :)

I think you mean sidechaning (don't hurt me if I'm wrong; I don't sidechain).

map it so the filter cutoff responds to a certain control change or a certain velocity on a channel.

No problem in cubase using the 'transform' function and setting up your synth to respond to that. You could for example copy the kick drum exactly to the same channel as the synth, but mute that note- then have the velocity set to 127 (maximum) and set the filter cutoff to velocity sensitive.

Sort of... but its not a volume thing...

I dont want an LFO involved. And I definitely want to be able to define where it needs to be pushed up to.

put this on pattern 1 in the playlist editor.

Open a closed hihat sound.

Give the hihat its own channel on the fruity mixer.

put a Fruity Peak Controller on the hihats channel.

put vol and dec and that little bowed line all the way up.

make sure the little box on the peak controller that says mute is ticked.

put this on pattern 2 in the playlist editor.

Make your bassline or whateve you want sidechaining, give it its own mixer channel.

right click on the volume fader of the basslines mixer channel and select link to controller. select peak ctrl [peak + LFO] click accept.

now set up your 4/4 kick on channel 3. because you used the hihat the bassline will be sidechinaed even when the kick is not in the track.

now for the cutoff bit...

simply right click the cutoff knob on your vsti and select create automation clip. if you cant do this you will have to use the dashboard.

open dashboard.

click the down arrow next to the padlock...follow this:

Add Contol > Slider > Slider dark (22X100)

click the padlock.

open the bassline vst.

click the plug next to the name of the vst i.e. Fruity Wrapper (Mda Piano)

follow this:

Last Tweaked Parameter > Link To Controller

the controller menu pops up select from the internal cotroller menu slider. click accept.

go back to the dashboard right click on your slider and you can either edit events like in fl4 or create an automation clip if you are using fl5.

In your step sequencer when you click open a channel looks for 'Dashboard' in the list. A thing that looks like a square with lots of dots and a padlock in the top left corner should come up.
