Question by korai s: Can we enter notes from computer keyboard into CUBASE ?
I don’t have a midi keyboard. So I want to create music with my computer keyboard. FL Studio provides with this excellent feature. What about CUBASE.

Q&A: Please, need help on Midi Keyboard!?

Tuesday, May 15th, 2012

Question by Drexul_Slum: Please, need help on Midi Keyboard!?
Ok, Ive been doing music now for a while on software on the computer, like acid, fruityloops, ect… But I have never used a midi keyboard before. I recieved an M-Audio Axiom 49 key USB midi Keyboard today and am having truoble with it. I put in the driver install disk and it installes the keyboard, then I plug in the Usb connector. ( it only came with a usb Audio connector, no midi out or midi in). So… After all that was done, I load fruity loops 5 and go to the preference section, But it doesnt show my keyboard. In the Midi out and Midi in section it says none. I tried Ablton as well, but it seems like none of the my software works with it. I was thinking it was the USb controller, but It said it was supposed to be simple. Right now, I jsut need my midi keyboard to ork with a software, or how do I start using my midi. Sorry if this is a kinda stupid question, Its my first tiem using one of these.

Best answer:

Answer by K of the G
This often happens with MIDI keyboards because the device is not active when you do have it connected when you install the software. Rather than installing the software first, you should connect the USB device first, then wait to be prompted for the driver. At that point, point the wizard to the driver.

Additionally, as you know, simply having a USB MIDI device does not ensure that your computer actually knows how to talk to the MIDI portion of a USB device. MIDI operations on any computer are often controlled by a sound card or software emulator. I am assuming that isnce you have been doing music software like ACID/Fruityloops that you have actually run MIDI devices before. Simply using the software without a MIDI device does not mean you have been running MIDI. It only means you have been playing MIDI files in a software emulator mode. Be sure you go to your sound card and enable your MIDI options on the sound device.

Once you have done that, you may need to reinstall the device and then check its operations.

Myself, I have an M-Audio O2 midi controller keyboard. It did not work on my computer until I enabled the MIDI portion of my sound card.

I hope that is helpful.

how to record a synth played by keyboard on fruity loops?

Friday, May 11th, 2012

Question by Chris: how to record a synth played by keyboard on fruity loops?
i own fruity loops studio 9 XXL (FL Studio 9 XXL) and i REALLY want to know how to record AND save the things played through my speakers.
I know FL studio has a recording option, but it doesn’t explain very well on how to save whats just been recorded.

i want to know how i can record the synths that i play on FL studio with my keyboard.
thanks in advance ^__^

Best answer:

Answer by joemoe
well it sounds like you know where the record button is so that’s a good start. you know how when you press record it gives you like 6 options (record just automation, record scoring, record scoring and automation…etc) i always choose the middle one i think which entails everything. ok so now your ready to record. when you hit play it should give you a countdown from 4 or so and then begin. play what you want and when your done make sure you hit the record button again to stop it. this should have done it.

if you are really stuck and want to figure this out ill actually make a video tonight or this weekend at some point about it nd put it on youtube. check out my channel, my chanel name is centolahj

(http://www.youtube.com/user/centolahj?feature=mhum)

its a win win as i get the chanel views and videos hits and you get the information you want. take it or leave it.

Best answer:

Answer by Ankush S
Hi serge,

Are you serious or just curious about learning Keyboard, but my friend you need a lot of patience for learning keyboard.

Anyways there is one decent music institute in Koramangala called “Unwind center” who teach keyboards

You can check their link at:

How to stop stutter and lag while using a motif 6 keyboard midi to fruity loops?

Sunday, April 29th, 2012

Question by bigtruckdude: How to stop stutter and lag while using a motif 6 keyboard midi to fruity loops?
Okay i’ve adjusted the buffer and it still does not correct the problem. I’m using a Toshiba laptop and I don’t know if I need a better sound card or what? If anyone has any suggestions or tips please feel free to reply. Thank you kindly.

Best answer:

Answer by rekkerd
How’s the CPU meter? Is it maxing out when it’s stuttering?
If so, and increasing the buffer doesn’t work then perhaps your laptop is an older model (not fast enough).

Using an external ASIO audio device should work much better than onboard DirectX soundcards, but I can’t guarantee it will solve the stuttering if you’re laptop just doesn’t have enough juice.

How do I put MIDI files onto my yamaha keyboard with FL studio?

Wednesday, April 18th, 2012

Question by prestone v: How do I put MIDI files onto my yamaha keyboard with FL studio?
I have a yamaha YPT-400 keyboard.
I lost my CD, so I downloaded the driver, and I’m trying to put my MIDI files created in FL studio onto my keyboard. I’m new at FL studio, but FLS is responding to the keyboard actions. So, I believe the driver works.

Best answer:

Answer by The foreigner
Unfortunately your CD contained the program you use to transfer your songs to your instrument and back. The program is called “Musicsoft Downloader”

Perhaps it’s better if you read the manual.
(Musicsoft v5.5 is the second source)

Page 90 in the .pdf manual pretty much describes what you want to know.

Q&A: what is the best not expensive keyboard to use for fl studio to create wobbles in bass?

Monday, April 9th, 2012

Question by : what is the best not expensive keyboard to use for fl studio to create wobbles in bass?
as a dubstep bass what is the best not expensive keyboard to use for creating wobbles in fl studio 9 to make dubstep.. if there is any keyboard for this purpose

Best answer:

Answer by eMTau
any keyboard with midi or usb connection will do just fine…usb keyboards are easier to setup up since it just plugs straight to the pc, midi keyboards need to connect to a midi interface and then interface to pc.

effects can create wobbles in bass for better results…although keyboards with pitch bend wheels might contribute in creating this wobble….it is mainly done with effects….

try VG Electric Fx vst

gud luck
