Note Repeat
Note Repeat applies to the pads and allows you to play notes (especially drum hits) at various Rates,
locked to a set Tempo.
When connected to FL Studio, Note Repeat always follows the DAW tempo regardless of playback
state. By default, master sync (in FL studio’s MIDI settings) is enabled making Note Repeat trigger
tightly to the grid. If you disable master sync, Note Repeat begins when you press a pad.
To use Note Repeat
Press the Note Repeat button to enable Note Repeat on the pads. FL Studio sends MIDI clock to the
FLkey by default, so it synchronises to this tempo. Hold any pad and they repeat at the set Rate and
Tempo.
In Sequencer mode, the Note Repeat function doesn’t affect the pads. In Sequencer mode, the pads
assign notes to the sequencer.
Change the Rate
To change the rate, hold the Shift button (or double-tap to latch) and press Note Repeat to enter
Note Repeat settings. The press a key labelled 1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, Triplet. The Triplet option sets the
Rate to a Triplet feel for the currently selected rate, e.g. if the Rate was set to 1/8, enabling Triplet
sets the rate to 1/8t.
With Note Repeat held or latched, you can change the Rate as you play the pads too. In Note Repeat
settings, the button pulses to show the keys are controlling the Rate and Tap Tempo.
Set the Tempo
In Note Repeat settings mode, repeatedly press the key labelled Tap Tempo until you’ve set the
desired tempo. With Master Sync enabled in FL Studio (this is by default), the screen reads ‘Tempo
External’– tap tempo is changing the DAW tempo. The Note Repeat button will flash at the tempo
you set.
Change the note/drum hit velocity
You can use pad pressure to control the Note Repeat hit’s velocity. The initial velocity is set as you
press the pad. As you hold it, you can increase pressure to increase velocity, or reduce pressure to
reduce velocity etc.
If you reduce pressure after the initial hit, the Note Repeat output keeps the initial velocity constant
and only change velocity if you increase the pressure above the initial velocity setting.
