Now, let’s make the snare roll pitch slide: open the snare Sampler Channel Settings -dialog, set the Pitch Knob Range to 12 semitones and create automation clip for the Pitch -knob.Įdit the Pitch envelope to look like this: …change the Snap -settings for creating a more rapid roll for the last two bars: Go to the Playlist, add a new pattern and open the Piano Roll -view of the snare channel and lay down C5 notes like this… zip pack you can download at the bottom of this tutorial) to a new Sampler channel (if you’re using the Browser, right click the sample and choose ‘Open in new sampler channel’) and assign it to a free mixer track (drop the volume level to -9.8dB). Next, we will create a basic snare roll and treat it with a rising pitch and filter effect as well.ĭrop a snare sample (provided in the. Open the Mixer and drop a Fruity Delay 2 and Fruity Reeverb 2 to the Wasp mixer track effect slot and set them as follows: Sounds good, but maybe a bit too ‘dry’ so let’s add some space via delay and reverb effects. We also need to a filter sweep to make the rise sound more effective so open the Wasp and right click on the Cutoff -knob and choose ‘Create automation clip’ from the menu.Įdit the cutoff filter automation envelope like this: This’ll make the pitch rise two octaves so we’ll get a pitch slide from C4 to C6. Make the Channel Pitch automation envelope to look like this: Next, let’s make a pitch slide for the Wasp sound so open the Channel Settings -box of Wasp and set the Pitch Knob Range to 24 semitones (that’s two octaves), right click on the Channel Pitch Knob and select ‘Create automation clip’ from the menu (Channel Pitch automation clip will be created to the Playlist).
Now, head to the Playlist, add a new pattern, open the Wasp Piano Roll -view and draw a 8 bars long C4 note (the build up is going to be 8 bars long). Yea, nothing special yet I know, but just hold on… 🙂
We need a square wave type of sound with a little bit of noise so program the Wasp as follows: Also, assign the Wasp to a free mixer track and drop the volume level to -11.8dB (this is because we need a headroom for other sounds as well). Here’s an audio clip of what I’m talking about:įirst thing to do is to create a new project in FL Studio, set the tempo to 128 bpm and add a Wasp synth to the project. There’s countless of ways to build up the tension towards the drop (in electronic dance music, drop is usually the point where the beat & bass kicks back in after a break and people start to dance like crazy in the dance floor) and this tutorial will showcase a one possible way to do it. I’m going to show you how you can combine a riser sound made with one of the FL Studios native synth plugins Wasp, traditional snare roll, basic white noise sweep and couple of other elements and effects in to a effective rising build up.
