BPM Changes for FL

**MetalMethodMan** · 03-15-2007, 05:03 PM

How do you change the BPM level mid-song in FLStudio 6?
i.e. 8 measures of 180bpm then immediately 8 measures of 200bpm.
Thanks.

You need to automate it.

By the way, I hate your icon. Hello Kittie is cute.

That helps...

How do I do that?

There are multiple ways to automate things in FL:

1. Go to help and look up Automation.
2. Create an automation pattern, edit events on BPM and record how you want the BPM to change throuhg a few measures, put that pattern into the sequencer.
3. Create an automation clip for the BPM and modify it through the wave sequencer.

Quick easy answer (assuming things haven't changed a whole lot between your version and my ollllld version): Right click on the BPM. Click edit events and you'll get a new window. You can paint things into this just like in the piano roll, and when the song gets to that point it'll modify the BPM to what you said.

This can be done on a lot of things and makes for some nice effects. Say you want something to fade out, you can right click on the volume knob and set up automation so that after a certain point the volume goes down. Or you can set up automated fading from left to right, etc etc. Knowing automation is one of the things that lets you start sounding less generic, cuz the billions of people who play around with FL don't know about it.

PS: I remember a long time ago somebody made this exact same topic and lots of people said it wasn't possible. xD
