Let’s add our instrument or Vst we want to use, I will be using Fl Studio stock Vst which is Sytrus. How do we get it to play different notes? Well, one way is by editing the channel in the Piano Roll. 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.
