there IS a wrapper for Cubase available somewhere, but it doesn't work for shit and last I checked it wasn't even being supported anymore.

[DDRage]

crap

thx anyways for the response

[Ramaniscence]

hmm... i just had an idea... if sgtrama ain't totally opposed to the idea i could set up some community sample hosting at thasauce, so mixers and wannabes can upload free samples/vst/dx and shit to share with people.

We have space and bandwidth to burn...you know that.

Only worked "Partially" with SX1 and was discontinued for futher versions.

[DDRage]

Ok just tried the MFX wrapper and FL Studio doesn't even recognise it as a VST, so crap.

Do you know of any VST/DX thingy that will allow me to map a CCxx from my midi input device to a CCyy (where xx and yy are channel numbers ). For example when I play a key instead of sending the "velocity" signal, sending for example the "pitch wheel" signal or controlling a filter cutoff and such.

[Compyfox]

Why doesn't anybody believe me when I say it doesn't work?

DDRage:

Ever tried Tobybear plugins? They have VSTi converters. Also look over at KVR, they have ton of that crap.

[Xelebes]

It can be done with mith most VSTi. Read up your keyboard's manual.

my "keyboard" is a casio privia, whose cc channels i had to find out by myself because the casio people haven't a clue as to the workings of their keyboards. Sorry for the weird style, but it just came out of me

[Compyfox]

Could have been done easier:

Tobybear CC# Monitor. Simple and clean.

I can't seem to find that plugin in Tobybear's site nor in KvR. What I managed to find is a plugin called cc mapper but it's only available as a bundled plugin in Minihost. Is it the same plugin?

[Compyfox]

Must have shuffled that with the Kondor plugin.

But I'm fairly sure I've seen a MIDI monitor over at KVR under "Utilities" (VST). You just have to look.So much crap out there, there surely is one among that.

which soundfont or other sound file of drumkit likes a Rock Band style?

i mean, when u r listening Green Day, the drum sounds, especailly the snare that i want to make.

i 've tried other drumkit file, no one likes that band sound

[Splunkle]

DGXDX: I know you are using FL studio, so I'll tell you that you can get some nice rock drum sounds out of FPC, provided you get the effects right. Try putting some very light distortion on the snare, compressing the kick drum a lot, and makign sure the EQ setting on the cymbals - especially the ride - are right. Then make sure you have your velocity settings right, and you should get some nice rock sounds.

NS_kit7 is very nice, though rather large. Just google it to find it.

Try this one:http://www.sf2midi.com/index.php?page=sdet&id=7951, it's the best acoustic drum-soundfont I've heard.

atfer i input the sf2 file, why i can't hear any sound even i click on the virtual keyboard in FLs?

so, if i use this drum kit, i still have to add some effect to make it Rock?

also, how can i separate the snare, kick drum etc. with different extent of effects in NS_kit7? is it input 2 times of NS_kit7 and each NS_kit7 is responsible snare and kick drum respectively?

[Splunkle]

dgxdx: Yes, you usually have to add effects to get a certain sound. If everyone used dry samples, everything would sound really boring. Also, the effects used can help to produce that sound you are giong for. Listen to the style of the music you are trying to produce, and think about the important points that make it sound like that. Then use your effects to make what samples you have available sound like that.

And yes, unless you have a soundfont player that can do multiple outputs, you will have to load up an instance of NS_kit7 for each FX channel you want. So if you want to process the kick, snare and cymbals differently, you would need 3 instances of kit7. Which will really hurt when it comes to RAM. =(

You have to change the bank preset to anything but 1.

Edit: The best kit I have ever heard is one that I have, called livekit7.

The guy that recorded it did a graet job with his velocities.

[dgxdx]

i 've just download the VST file, but i don't know how to use it in FruityLoops. Can somebody helps me?

is it put in a channel to use? or treat as effect?

[Chavous]

^This should go into the FLStudio help thread...

Anyway, go to the toolbar up top, Channels > More... > Refresh (on the bottom, make sure your VST is in a VST folder).

i wonder which bass is the best for u guys, esp in FLs

in FLs, i don't really know which bass is more like a bass guitar. even i used the generator called bass guitar, the sound seems to be far away from the real bass guitar, which is rough and noise.

can somboday give me a suggestion of bass?
