First off Hi, and thanks for stopping by to help me out.
I'm new around here but from what I've seen digging through these forums I think I've got the place that can help me figure this out.
I'm working with FL Studio 10 and Melodyne trying to recreate a version of woodentoaster's avast fluttershy's tushy, thinking it would be a good project to figure out many of the techniques needed to start making some stuff of my own.
I have a wav of fluttershy's "yay" and have used melodyne to pitch it up to various notes, c5, g#5 etc. I imported them each into their own sample, then made a layer and set them all as children of the layer, setting the root note and the zone to be only what note i adjusted them to in melodyne.
Then on the piano roll of the Layer I put in all the notes of the main Yay bit.
That got me to a sort of working version, the yays activate each time their note is hit in the layer piano roll, and only when their note is hit. However it seems to just play the length of the wav file no matter how long or short the note in the piano roll is.
I was thinking there had to be some way in FL studio to load up a new instrument, track, sequence, not sure what to call it. like when you drag a guitar from the browser into your sequencer. Anyway make a new custom one of that where i can go into some settings somewhere and tell it when i press c5, this is the sound you play. a5 is this sound. ( in this specific case it would be a fluttershy yay adjusted to c5 and a5 respectively)
Then I can go into the piano roll of that new custom instrument and play a quarter note c5 and the c5 adjusted yay would play in its entirety in that quarter note. If i put a longer note, the yay would play in that time.
I do apologize as I do not know the correct terms to use to describe all of this, so Im sure it comes out odd, but hopefully you get the idea of what i am trying to do.
Even if you just know some terms or something that apply to what I am trying to do that would be a huge help as I would have some better chances of being able to research more on my own.
