In FL Studio, “Click and hold & Special Gesture functions” is enabled by default. It means for instance in Piano Roll if you click and hold a note for a short period of time, you’ll be drawing a slide note instead. If you click and hold the right mouse button in the Playlist, it’ll switch to the Slice tool. That is notes played on a controller keyboard will snap to the value selected here during a MIDI recording. NOTE: The snap options (none), Line & Cell are not input quantized. The snap options are: Line - Events snap to the nearest grid-line, notice that the grid changes resolution as the Piano roll, Playlist or Event Editor are Zoomed. Change the snap setting. The default is Line. Set it to step to get 16th notes, 1/2 step to get 32nd notes, and 1/4 step to get 64th notes. Also, if you turn the snap setting to none, you can snap notes down to the timebase you set the song to (e.g. 92 PPQ or 192 PPQ).
Fl Studio Notes Not Snapping Turtles
Hey guys,
I'm suddenly having an issue with recording Midi from my Akai MPK Mini, everything used to work perfectly, but now, when I play notes on the keys while RECORDING, the notes are timed completely incorrectly on the piano roll. The issue seems to be timing, if I record a note BEFORE the 1/2 bar mark (half a measure) the notes will be automatically laid out at the start of the Bar or measure. Then, any notes that are recorded BETWEEN the 1st 1/2 bar mark and the end of the first Bar, the notes are automatically laid out at the exact start of the 2nd Bar.
In essence, when I play notes on the Midi controller, they sound correct and I can play whatever sequence I desire with no timing issues. However, when I press RECORD, the notes are laid out on the Piano Roll at the beginning of each bar or measure. It is as if Fl studio is rounding my notes up or down depending on if the note is played on the Midi controller before or after the halfway point on each measure.
I have attached an image to show you exactly how the piano roll looks when I play a simple 4 beat melody. The first two notes will automatically be recorded on the piano roll at the beginning of the first measure, and the last two notes will be recorded on the piano roll at the beginning of the 2nd bar/measure.
Any assistance would be appreciated! I am sure this is a simple fix in the settings or options! I have tried all Snap settings but this doesn't do anything.
