A MIDI keyboard is an essential piece of equipment for a producer. If you plan on making beats then I highly recommend you get a MIDI keyboard.
A MIDI keyboard will allow you to control virtual instruments as well as recording drum performances. I like to think of a MIDI keyboard as a virtual piano but it can be much more than that based on the virtual instruments that you have. For example Sytrus is a virtual instrument within FL studio that allows you to play all kinds of different sounds from pianos, electronic sounds percussive sounds, and miscellaneous sound effects. All of this can be controlled from a MIDI keyboard.
Why you should produce with a MIDI keyboard
It’s not absolutely necessary to use a MIDI keyboard when producing beats but highly recommended. When you’re painting out your notes in the piano roll opposed to playing it on a MIDI keyboard it becomes hard to improvise or make up parts as you go. Also, it loses all feeling because there’s no velocity change or slight timing differences giving it a human groove. I have also found that once you learn the basics of composing with the midi keyboard it becomes a much faster process and you are able to make beats faster.
How to connect your MIDI keyboard to FL Studio
To connect your midi keyboard to your DAW you’re going to need an adapter. The easiest way to do it is a MIDI to USB cable. This cable has two MIDI connections that will go to your midi keyboard and a USB connection that will go to your computer. Most likely your adapter cable will also come with drivers that need to be installed on your computer in order for it to work. The first step is to install that disk on your computer before connecting anything. After you have successfully installed your drivers connect your MIDI connection to your midi keyboard making sure that you plug them into the appropriate spot on your keyboard (they should be labeled. Once you have done that you can plug the USB end of the cable into your computer.
If your keyboard requires a power connection turn it on at this point. After doing this your computer should recognize the USB connection as it would any other USB device such as an external hard drive or mouse. Once your computer recognizes that it is time to get set up in FL studio.
In FL Studio go to Options, MIDI Settings. Choose your device in the input and output sections of FL Studio. Now when you hit a key on your MIDI keyboard on a channel that has a VSTi you should hear it play.
Thats it!

I'm new to Fruityloops and sound editing software in general and I wanted to learn more about it. I wanted to recreate a song I like and learn from that process.
Sadly I'm already encountering problems I cant seem to fix myself. There are certain notes that Fruityloops just wont play if there's is another pattern playing at the same time.
In the video provided you can see pattern one and two playing, pattern two is mainly just some short bursts of F#4 and note 1 and 6 of pattern one are also F#4. When both both patterns need to play an f#4 at the same time pattern one stays silent. When I remove pattern two it pattern one DOES play those notes. Does anyone know what's causing this?
Here's a picture of my two patterns:http://oi65.tinypic.com/fy00th.jpg
Here´s the video where you can see the problem:

I definitely don't think Unison is going on here, simply because the notes aren't playing at all.
What's happening is that the notes are conflicting with each other. You're playing one note at the same time, same octave, AND at the same instance of both notes. FL doesn't really know how to handle it so my guess is that it plays the last note you put into the piano roll and omits the other.
It's a pretty simple fix, either have two dedicated instances of the virtual instrument for each region or change the octave of one of the regions.

Ok
If they are both the same note AND the same synth AND the same patch that means they are going to be played in UNISON. Imagine playing a piano and then playing the same note on a completely identical piano at the same time. It wont double up, it will be the same sound in the wave.
You have to adjust the velocity in piano roll or load another instrument (the FLS strings one) and make one louder than the other. Hope this helps (^_^)y-~

After years on Cubase I've happily bit the bullet and bought Logic Studio. I'm hugely impressed. The only thing is that now I've loaded on all the jam packs etc. and have started playing with loops I'm having problems. On a standard Logic arrangement I find a loop I want, audition it in the browser, stick it in my arrangement and fine. However after the first one any further audio loops simply don't play, nothing on the vu bars, nothing. If I get rid of them all and start with a different one, then fine but in total I can't convince it to use more than one loop per arrangement. I'm guessing this is a problem with my hardware given I'm running a white Macbook and an old Emagic E62m card. Any suggestions?
