You’ll notice that the Surface icon has a red circle on the right – this is the link to our knob we created. Now that we have our knob, go to the “Map” tab to get the overview of your Patcher preset and routing. Click on the “Surface” tab in Patcher, then hit the “+” button to select “Knob”, and hit the “E” button t change the color and size (and also rename).Īdd your Virtual Instrument of Choice to the Patch You can rename it (which is good practice when using more than one knob, slider, or xy controller).

For purposes of this tutorial we will keep it to one knob, but once you get the concept down on how to manipulate Patcher using Fruity Formula Controller and Fruity Send, you’ll be able to do control whatever parameters you want in more complex ways. The first thing we should do is create the knob that will control several parameters. This tutorial is going to show you how to set up a Patcher Instrument preset that contains one Knob in the Control Surface that controls numerous parameters using Fruity Formula Controller, Fruity Send, Fruity Reverb, Effector, and Harmor. In combination with Fruity Formula Controller, Fruity Send can be used as a routing switch. The Fruity Formula Controller can be used to control ranges of values for certain parameters rather than a complete 1:1 correspondence with knobs and sliders if you were to directly link from the Surface Control to a parameter. Using Fruity Formula Controller and Fruity Send creatively, you can do some pretty cool routing to have one knob, slider, or XY in the Control Surface incrementally control numerous events, effects and sounds. The Control Surface let’s you create your own controls for all of the plug-ins housed inside of Patcher, including the ability to control some complicated (advanced) routing of signals and multiple controls.

FL Studio has definitely upgraded the Patcher Plugin for version 11 with the Control Surface and Mapping GUI.
