How do I program bass and synth melodies
Posted: Thu Feb 19, 2004 8:39 pm
Hi to all!
I just got my copy of Guitar Tracks Pro recently and am doing pretty well with it. BUT -- I absolutely can't figure out how to program a melody using FruityLoops Express that came with Guitar Tracks. I've downloaded FruityLoops' on-line manual, but it's not exclusively for Pro Express 2.0. FruityLoops refers to a piano keyboard that opens via a button, but I think this is an advanced feature not contained in Pro Express 2.0. The only keyboard I can find is the one that's accessible from the Channel Settings dialog box (click instrument name ----- Channel Settings box opens ----- Click INS button---- keyboard opens). However, all I can do using this keyboard is to change the single note that a bass track (for example) is playing. If I enter a lot of bass notes in a measure and try to program them to play a walking bass, let's say, all I get are repetions of whatever the bass was set for in the first place. How do I program melodies? I'm sure Fruity Loops wouldn't give you bass and synth unless you could use them. And by the way, does anyone know where I can find an online manual dedicated just to FruityLoops Pro Express 2.0?
Thanks a lot for the help. This problem has been driving me batshit!!
