STEP SEQUENCER

Graph Editor

The Graph Editor lets you set additional properties of notes in the Step Sequencer. You can set each note's panning (Pan), velocity (i.e. note's volume - Velocity), cutoff (Filter cut), resonance (Filter res), pitch (Pitch) and shifting (Shift). Shifting creates delay between the timing of a note event and the time it is actually triggered. 100% shift means one 16-th time delay. The pitch property sets note's pitch, but is more intended for use with drum channels and effects - if you want to enter a melody, use the Keyboard Editor instead.

1. Graph Editor button - Shows/hides the Graph Editor view.
2. Property Selector slider - Lets you select what property to edit. With all generators you can set panning, velocity, cutoff, resonance, pitch and shifting. However, some external generators may not support all those properties (for instance, a mono generator may ignore the panning property).

Left-click a column and drag up/down to adjust the property. You can drag all values at once - hold Ctrl and adjust one, the others will follow. You can also create "lines" with values in the Graph Editor - right-click a value and drag to another, FL Studio will automatically interpolate the in-between values.

It is important that you understand in the Graph Editor you set note's properties - these are not separate events. So, although you can set all panning values, only those that correspond to active dots will be used.
