The patterns will be named after your channels and the tracks in the playlist will have the same names and colors as those patterns. After that, highlight all of the patterns in the Pattern Picker by selecting the first and last pattern while holding Shift and drag the first pattern onto the first track of the Playlist. You can right-click any of the patterns and split the channels to create individual patterns for each channel for quick arrangement in the Playlist. The playlist picker is a quick way to access your patterns inside the Playlist.
Before, you had to create each of these one by one by naming, coloring and linking the Channel to the Mixer manually. This will automatically create a Playlist track, a new Channel and link it to an insert in the Mixer.
With the FL Studio 20.1 update, we received a new feature that allows us to drag and drop audio and instruments directly onto the names of the tracks on the playlist.
You’ll also see “Select Unused Channels.” After the unused channels are selected, hit ALT+delete to delete these channels. If you go to Tools from main menu and go to Macros, you’ll see the option to “Purge Unused Audio Clips.” This will delete any audio that you haven’t placed into the playlist or added any steps to in the step sequencer. I know I personally will try out a lot of different samples and VSTi’s in a project, leaving me with numerous channels that aren’t actually relevant to the project anymore. You can still access these zipped channels by clicking them to pull up the Channel Settings, or right-clicking to restore them to full size on the Channel Rack. You can see here, the purple channels I selected have been zipped and the remaining blue channels have been left alone for me to access. Alt+z will minimize any selected channel, while leaving the other channels at full size. Still, sometimes you just have too many channels and you just want to focus on specific ones inside of a group. You can select the channels you want to color and click the arrow at the top right of the Channel Rack and choose “Color Selected.” Also, if you middle click your mouse on a selected channel, this will bring up the option to name, color and set an icon for further visualization. Another option would be to simply color these groups for quick visualization. This can help you quickly jump between your drums, instruments, synths, basses, etc. You’ll notice at the top of the Channel Rack, there is a dropdown menu that says “ALL.” When you create a group and name it, you’ll be able to access them through this menu. If you press Alt+g you can group selected channels together under one name.
