Explanation of the slide function (glide) that can be used with FL Studio's native plug-in

In yesterday's article, I introduced FL Studio's Native-operating plug-in Fluctus, but I still haven't explained the slide function (glide) in FL Studio, so I'll write it down.

The slide function is generally called glide or portamento.

Sleepfreaks explains it in an easy-to-understand manner, so if you don't understand it, please read this first.

FL Studio's Native plug-in has the ability to slide into FL Studio's piano roll.

You can set it in the dialog that appears when you double-click a note.

The slide is enabled when the triangle in the figure below is lit.

The great thing about this slide is that you can adjust the speed of the changing pitch by adjusting the position of the notes that set the slide.

Let's set the slide.

Here, let's slide from D#4 to B4.

At this time, changing the length and position of the B4 MIDI note will change the speed at which the pitch changes.

The pitch changes by multiplying the length of the MIDI note set by the slide.

The MIDI note that sets the slide does not sound itself, so there must always be a MIDI note that will start the slide.

In the following situations, it will slide halfway.

With such a feeling, the sound is interrupted before the slide ends.

 

Slide multiple MIDI notes

You can also slide multiple MIDI notes.

By doing this, the pitch changes smoothly.

 

Summary

FL Studio slides are pretty useful, but be aware that only FL Studio Native plugins are supported.

In addition to slides, you can use the VFX Envelope to change the pitch of MIDI notes to create a glide-like effect.
(VFX Envelope takes a little more work, but you can apply it in various ways.)
