#How to use effects in fl studio 11 how to

I create a rough version of my song's drums inside Spark then export the patterns individually. The one benefit is you don't have to remember where each drum is located. Click on the green MIDI export button and drag it to the empty Spark pattern and it will create the piano roll for you. Go to the Sequencer Panel of Spark and select your pattern. There are a handful of MIDI generating plugins that don't work at all inside FL Studio without a virtual MIDI port/cable. Try out Spark in another sequencer, like Ohm Studio, and you'll see what I mean. LoopBe1 and loopMIDI are other virtual MIDI ports. I use the Jack Audio Connection Kit, but many find it a bit complicated.

Essentially any plugin that generates MIDI itself won't directly write that MIDI data into FL Studio without the use of a virtual MIDI port. The Spark plugin generates the MIDI information. I was curious how others are using Spark inside FL Studio. I'd prefer to just record the entire Spark MIDI track once in FL Studio, but it would be nice if Image-Line and/or Arturia made that capability a bit easier. If you like working with FL Studio's patterns panel, then that's great way to go. So the best way I've found to use Spark inside FL Studio is to create the patterns inside Spark and then go through the tedious task of drag & dropping each individual MIDI pattern from Spark into FL Studio's individual patterns. I prefer to do the mix much later though. Of course, you can build a song in Spark and then record an audio track in FL Studio which allows you to do all the cool FX Live Pad effects. Another workaround is to use a virtual MIDI port which sends the MIDI out and then back into FL Studio and allows you to record that MIDI information into an empty piano roll in the Playlist. Now, I have done that in a different sequencer and then imported the MIDI track into FL Studio.

You cannot build a song inside Spark's Song Panel, play it back, and have FL Studio directly record the MIDI information into an empty piano roll. That's why the Spark preferences 'Send MIDI from Sequencer' and 'Send MIDI from Pads' are not very useful inside FL Studio. It is my understanding that you cannot record MIDI information generated from a plugin from within FL Studio. So I can observe how a typical snare or kick is patched and then try to make my own.

PS: Is there any section on this forum where one can learn how to make patches in the modular section of Spark ? I would learn quickest from examplse I think.

No hardware midi controller added as of yet Oh I forgot to mention that I only use the software. But it seems like a wrong shortcut, I'm sure I'm missing something. All the other options from Spark still work here, I mean I can tweak and tune every sound in the studio section in Spark. But when that's done, I can create different patterns in FL itself and then sequence them. I have to write down which note corresponds to which sound because for some reason it isn't shown. Here, every note becomes one of the sounds of the pads from Spark. So far I've found some bypass by using piano roll within a pattern. However I don't understand how I can then use all this within the FL studio pattern sequencer. I can make patterns in Spark, it all works, I can sequence them into a song in Spark etc. I've got it to work, but it still seems more of an independent entity within FL, if you know what I mean. However one of the first things I couldn't figure out is how to integrate Spark 2.0 with FL studio 11. I've recently bought Spark and I'm planning to go in depth with it.
