fruitly loops thing

[the pope.]

hi , since i can only make 64 beats ,is there a way to put them all together , as in the sections , to make a song?

The maximum 64-beat thingies you're sequencing are what are called 'patterns' in FL. There should be a thing on the right of the screen (or not) called the Playlist Editor. If it's not there, you can bring it up with one of the drop-down menus at the top of the screen. Down the left column of the playlist editor are pattern numbers, and along the top row are measure numbers. You can arrange an order of patterns by clicking in little blocks in the playlist editor (kind of like putting in drumbeats). And by doing this you can arrange a song out of your patterns.

Right next to the play/stop/record buttons is a indicator that says "pat" and "sng." By clicking this you can switch it between pattern and song mode. If it's in pattern mode, it will play whatever pattern you have open in a loop, or if you export, it will export just that pattern. If you have it in song mode, it will play the patterns in the order you have on the playlist editor, or export the whole song.

I did that, it didn't make up for your vague use of language.

ok then ill write it


i press f5 , it pulls up the playlist , then i put the pattern in ...and then it covers from 1 to 5 ....... then after that i open a new pattern , it asks me if i would like to save changes , i say no , because if i say yes , it deletes it , and makes it a new sheet again, anyways ,when i click no , it lets me choose the next pattern to place in , and i do , and the pattern goes from 5 to 7 on the line , but the one in 1 to 5 dissapears completely

That's weird... It shouldn't be asking you about saving changes. Are you changing patterns by clicking on a pattern number on the left column of the playlist editor or pressing a number key 1 through 9? Those are the ways you should be doing it.

lol i think he is starting new paterns by clicking file->new lol

that doesnt start new patterns it starts new projects

[Nicko_Shmicko]

lemme just write a little thing for you

You make a beat for your verse, chorus etc

The go into the playliast and put in for example patern 1 16 times, then patern 2 8 times etc, its not that hard

Don't click NEW and don't click OPEN either.
