Note that in our previous tutorial, we used the channel rack for programming our drum beats, we can only add a single note in the channel rack, and it is probably safe to say that in most cases, you will want to have more than a single tone playing in your pattern at a time, especially when using instruments. In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to create a basic melody without the use of a MIDI keyboard in Fl Studio 12.įl studio piano roll is a great tool for creating melodies, if you do not have or you don't want to use a MIDI keyboard, then the piano roll is the next choice for you, which I use and prefer.
