A little advice for those using Electri6ity
13 years ago
Listen to it with headphones and tell me it doesn't crunch your ears into a state of....Rock Ability.
If you're lazy like me and you don't want to go searching through the manual, but also have a small attention span and dislike watching boring videos on the subject, here's something I learned actually watching the videos!
This way you don't have to watch though to get to what I'm about to tell you, basically. :P
(Note: This is a Fruity Loops Studio tutorial. I would not know how to do what I'm about to tell you in any other engine.)
First of all, certain key-switches need to be "held" in order to be played. Well, you might be thinking "if I just add a note at the same note-position as the key-switch at it's default, won't that activate it?"
Unfortunately, no. The only way to use the default is to have an ASIO-compatible sound-card and then use the internal recording system (Edison). If you're like me, and your sound-card should be compatible, but isn't; here's a work-around:
Firstly: You must reset each individual key-switch to the note you'd like to bind it to each time you reload the program. As technically, you shouldn't even be able to bind them to anything other than a ("note-letter")0 [Example: F0] note. Saving a project, exiting and coming back, however, will leave your key-switch modifications as they were so long as you don't switch instruments in the track with the modifications to it.
It must be below the playable range of the instrument as well, so I suggest most notes from C1 to G#1.
Must have a dash between the "note-letter" and "note-number" [Example: C-1].
Alright, now what you're going to want to do is NOT scroll up and select the note manually, this WILL mess with bindings. Even if they aren't bound to the note you pass when it messes up. (Yeah, I know >.>)
Now find the key-switch you'd like to change and find the area showing the note it's bound to. Double-click in the area, making sure to avoid the arrows.
Type in the note letter and number you'd like to bind it to, making sure to remember to add that dash in between them. [Example: C-1]
You're done!
Now, you may experience odd things happening at first. (Other key-switches may activate on the note you've bound your current key-switch to, random key-switches will activate without warning even if you don't activate them, etc.) If you get these, you are likely going to have to reload your instrument and try again, which is why it's a good idea to have the instrument saved and ready as a backup just in case.
It's a little annoying, but it should work without error 9 times out of 10.
I hope this helped someone!
