The "input controller" logical device is something, that works with your input audio signal before it reaches the looper mux. Its purpose is to replace your "second device", e.g. Helix Line 6, Boss GT10b, etc.
The LIVELOOPING project supports 2 instances of the "input controller" logical device. Meaning that you can independently operate on 2 instruments:
For sure, it is not mandatory to use the second instance of the "input controller" device.
E.g. if you perform purely as a "beatbox-only" and "everything from the mouth" artist, it will be sufficient for you to use only one instance.
"Input controller" logical device consists of the 4 preset pages. Each preset page can store 8 presets. In sum, the user can store 32 different presets.
Which information is part of the preset will be described in a dedicated section.
In order to select the preset page, use the "Hold + X" short-cut on the corresponding KP3+ device, where X represents the number of the page:
The view will reflect the selection within the DAW in the following way:
Note! Selecting the preset page will reset the input audio pan to the center.
In order to select the preset use the 1-8 digits:
The view will reflect the selection within the DAW in the following way:
Selecting the preset applies the stored preset's parameters. As some of them are visible in the view, their values will be also updated:
Note! Selecting the preset will reset the input audio pan to the center.
You can change the volume level of the instrument, using the Level fader of the KP3+:
The view will reflect the input within the DAW in the following way:
You can change the FX level, which is applied to the instrument, using the "Hold + Level" short-cut on the KP3+ side:
The view will reflect the input within the DAW in the following way:
Note! FX level excludes Dry/Wet level of the Turnado VST. That one is handled by a separate knob.
The user has the possibility to adjust the preset settings in order to achieve the desired sound.
Once all settings are specified, you can save the preset in the following way:
-
Press "Hold + 5" short-cut on the KP3+ to activate the "Save mode":
The view will reflect entrance to the "Save mode":
-
If needed, select the target preset page as usual.
-
Selecting the preset in the "Save mode" will cause the data to be saved into the selected slot.
After the preset is saved, the view will represent, that there is some data available in the slot, meaning that it is not empty anymore:
Users can not only save newly created preset but also delete the existing one.
You can delete the preset in the following way:
-
Press "Hold + 6" short-cut on the KP3+ to activate the "Delete mode":
The view will reflect entrance to the "Save mode":
-
If needed, select the target preset page as usual.
-
Selecting the preset in the "Delete mode" will cause the data to be deleted from the selected slot.
After the preset is deleted, the view will represent, that there is no more data available in the slot, meaning that it is empty:
This section will describe what the LIVELOOPING project's preset is and how to create and edit it.
The preset consists of the following types of data:
- All parameters of all the VST plugins, which are located in the FX_1 and FX_2 mixer channels of the "input controller"
- The selected active FX unit
- The MIDI mapping of the custom FX unit
- The Turnado preset number, which was selected in the 'T_Patch_Persistency' in the view
More details regarding each stored data type are shown below.
The list of the VST plugins includes the following one:
| # | Used VST plugin | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Waves C6 | Multiband compressor |
| 2 | Effector | 12 performance oriented effects that can be used one at a time |
| 3 | FabFilter Pro-Q 3 | Advanced EQ |
| 4 | Fruity Stereo Shaper | Control of individual Left/Right Mixer channels & how they're inter-mixed |
| 5 | Fruity Balance | Balance plugin, optimized for real-time level automation |
| 6 | Turnado 2 | Turnado instance, related to the first set of eight available effects |
| 7 | Turnado 2 | Turnado instance, related to the second set of eight available effects |
| 8 | Turnado 2 | Turnado instance, related to the third set of eight available effects |
| 9 | Fruity Squeeze | Bit-reducing, distortion and filtering plugin |
| 10 | Endless Smile | Creates all the tension you need in your music |
| 11 | FabFilter Pro-Q 3 | Advanced EQ |
| 12 | FIN-VOOD | Quite powerful and easy to use effects processor |
| 13 | Manipulator | Ultimate voice transformer |
| 14 | Fruity Fast Dist | Low latency distortion |
| 15 | Stereo enhancer | Basic stereo effect |
| 16 | Fruity reverb 2 | Reverb effect |
| 17 | Fruity delay 2 | Delay effect |
| 18 | Fruity filter | Filter effect |
| 19 | Fruity compressor | Compressor |
| 20 | Fuity Limiter | Limiter |
From my experience, the above list is enough to create a wide range of different sounds. The live_looping.flp project already comes with several dozens of saved presets. Try it out!
We can think of a more generic mechanism to replace the used VST plugins in the future.
Note! As of now you can't change the order or exchange the elements of the list without touching the source code. And without losing already saved presets.
Currently, the first instance of the input controller is using mixer channels #9 and #10 as the FX_CHANNEL-s. The second instance is using the mixer channel #14 and #15 as the FX_CHANNEL-s:
Q: So, tell me at last, what should I do to change the parameters? Anything complex?
A: NO! Simply open the plugins within the above-mentioned mixer channels in the DAW, and play around with the parameters. As soon as sound fits your needs - save the preset as usual.
The implementation of the project will traverse all values of all the parameters and will store them to persistency.
Note! There are certain pitfalls with certain plugins from the above list! Here they are:
- FIN-VOOD does an audio click when it is turned off and on. So it always stays turned on to prevent that
- If you'll change internal presets in the Manipulator and the Turnado plugins, you'll see that only those knobs were saved, that were touched by the user. Others will have some "previously saved" values. This issue is related to the fact that Fruity Loops does not receive updated values on its side when internal presets are changed. Probably, that is a mismatch between those VST plugin's implementation and FL internal logic. To properly save the sound, you might need to touch every parameter with the mouse to modify it. That is causing FL to update this or that parameter and provide an actual value on the MIDI scripting side. Keep that in mind.
- Turnado is a VERY useful plugin. But it has limitations:
- Not all of its GUI parameters are represented as the VST parameters. So it is not possible to store and load the whole set of parameters. E.g. LFO type, step sequencer, transformation curves. So presets will be able to save only limited number of main parameters, e.g. main controller knob, effect parameters, rate, phase, amount, attack, release, etc.
- It is also not possible to save and restore the used effects as part of the live-looping preset. Actually, that's why there are 3 intances of Turnado attached to the chain. Turnado has 24 different effects. But you can use ony 8 at a time. 8 * 3 = 24.
TODO: Revisit this flow to simplify it.
Each VST from the above section can be enabled or disabled.
Unfortunately, the way to change the activation status of the VST effects is not the most comfortable one.
In order to change it, do the following:
-
Open the mixer
-
Open the input controller's instance main mixer channel:
Instance id Main mixer channel number #1 11 #2 16 
-
Open the MIDI routing view:
-
Change the VST activation status by clicking on one of the E1_TO - E20_TO buttons:
-
Change the FX level on KP3+ to apply the change
Hopefully, we will revisit this section soon.
You can check what is the FX unit here. For this section, it's only important to know that the active fx unit type is also part of the stored pattern.
MIDI mapping data is also saved as part of the dedicated preset.
You can read more on what is the MIDI mapping here. For this section, it's only important to know that midi mapping is also part of the stored pattern.
There is a separate instance of the Turnado VST, that is located on the "FX_3" channel of each input controller instance. It operates on the Turnado internal preset level, allowing the user to specify which Turnado preset should be loaded to gether with the 'live-looping' project's preset. That allows a more predictable association between the sound timber and the main effect that should be applied to it.
You can read more regarding this Turnado VST instance here.
Note! This section describes an implementation detail. It provides no useful information for the average user. Still, it allows avoiding confusion for the users, which would like to deeply investigate the LIVELOOPING's flp project.
This is an interesting question. Actually, FL Studio does not ship the io python module inside its python interpreter. So there is no way to store any data in the file system.
But we've found the way out.
The name of the tracks in the playlist of the DAW is used to save all the data. You can see it yourself. Just:
-
Open the playlist:
-
Scroll to track 100 or 200. See the track names:
Range 100-200 is reserved for the needs of the first "input controller' logical device. Range 200-300 is reserved for the needs of the second "input controller' logical device.
Actually, there is a lot of data inside each track name:

We are lucky that the FL studio team made this field unlimited in size. Otherwise, it would not be possible to store any data as part of the project.
I hope they'll never change it :)
There is a separate instance of the Turnado VST, that is located on the "FX_3" channel of each input controller instance.
The idea behind the Turnado VST is the following one:
- Turnado provides 24 different effects.
- Out of those 24 effects you can select 8 active effects and fine-tune them.
- Turnado has a "dictator" killing feature, which allows you to manipulate 8 active effects with one single fader.
- This VST has a "randomize" option, which can randomly change everything - active effects, their setting, settings of the dictator fader.
Each input controller instance has an instance of Turnado VST being built in.
In order to change the turnado dictator value, use the "FX DEPTH" knob on the KP3+:
Changing that parameter will do the following thing on Turnado's side:
The view will reflect this in the following way within the DAW:
In order to change the turnado dictator value, use the "Hold + FX DEPTH" shortcut on the KP3+:
Alternatively, you can use the "C" button to instantly switch the Dry/Wet value between 0 and 100:
In both cases the view will reflect this in the following way within the DAW:
Also, 0 Dry/Wet level is considered as "Off mode" by the view:
In order to randomize the Turnado use the "double-click on the Hold button" short-cut:
The short-cut will change the selected effects, their settings, and split between effects within the dictator section.
The view does not reflect that. There seems to be no real reason to visualize that.
Note! in order to use the randomize function, you need to have Turnado instance be IN FOREGROUND within the DAW. That's why you'll find all Turnado instances being hidden somewhere in the right bottom corner of the screen, while still being in the foreground. It is done by intention. Do not close them.
The "Randomize" option is quite handy, but sometimes it gives unpredictable results.
Thus, it is more common to switch between the fine-tuned pre-saved presets. In order to do that, one could use "A" and "B" buttons:
In the view, the corresponding buttons will blink in case of usage:
Note! The presets mentioned here are simple VST presets. They are not the composite presets implemented by the LIVELOOPING project.
You can select in the input controller's view the Turnado preset ID, that will be stored as part of the input controller's preset:
That preset ID is mapped to the index of the Turnado preset from the "Midi Programs" folder. You can add there more Turnado presets and assign your own indexes to the input controller's presets.
The possibility to save complex patterns and instantly switch between them is awesome. But it is not enough. You should be able to manipulate the selected sound in real time, in order to add additional diversity.
In order to do this you can use 8 FX parameters:
Depending on the conditions, which are described here, those parameters can be assigned to different control elements of the VST plugins.
In order to change the FX parameter values, use 8 virtual faders on the touch-screen:
The view will reflect the changes accordingly.
Active FX unit represents, which set of VST parameters are assigned to the FX parameters of the logical device at the current moment.
Currently there are 3 supported FX unit types available:
Here is a brief description of each FX unit type:
| FX unit type | Comment |
|---|---|
| Manipulator | FX parameters are associated with the Manipulator VST instance |
| Voodoo Finisher | FX parameters are associated with the Voodoo Finisher VST instance |
| Custom | FX parameters are assigned manually by the user. The mapping is persisted as part of the preset. |
Here is a description of the mapping between the VST parameters and FX parameters used in each FX unit:
| Parameter id | Parameter name |
|---|---|
| 1 | Formant |
| 2 | Pitch |
| 3 | Ratio |
| 4 | Harmonics |
| 5 | FM |
| 6 | Alternator |
| 7 | Octave |
| 8 | Wet/Dry |
| Parameter id | Parameter name |
|---|---|
| 1 | Variation 1 |
| 2 | Variation 2 |
| 3 | Variation 3 |
| 4 | Variation 4 |
| 5 | Not used |
| 6 | Not used |
| 7 | Not used |
| 8 | Wet/Dry |
The idea of the custom FX unit type is that the user has the possibility to assign MIDI mapping to any of the parameters within the list of the device's VST-s. So table here would look like this:
| Parameter id | Parameter name |
|---|---|
| 1 | Assigned by the user |
| 2 | Assigned by the user |
| 3 | Assigned by the user |
| 4 | Assigned by the user |
| 5 | Assigned by the user |
| 6 | Assigned by the user |
| 7 | Assigned by the user |
| 8 | Assigned by the user |
The selected mapping is persisted as part of the preset. So you can select different parameters for each created preset.
To change the active FX unit use the "D" button on the KP3+:
The view will reflect the change in the DAW. An active FX unit will be highlighted:
The described above "Manipulator" and "Voodoo Finisher" fx unit types have one-to-one relation to VST plugins with the same names.
That means, that when working in those modes, it would be useful for the user to be able to change the presets of those VST-s without touching the DAW.
LIVELOOPING project implements such a possibility. Users can jump between the presets of the 2 above-mentioned VST plugins, using:
- "Hold + 8" short-cut on KP3+ to select the next VST preset
- "Hold + 7" short-cut on KP3+ to select the previous VST preset
Such feature allows the following workflow:
- Select the active fx unit type, Choose "Manipulator" or "Voodoo Finisher". For "Custom" this feature has no effect.
- Jump between the presets and select one as a base-line for your sound idea
- Play around with the FX parameter values to fine-tune the sound
- Save the preset
As mentioned here, when the user selects the "custom" fx unit type, he is capable of assigning individual MIDI mappings to the VST parameters. This section describes such a procedure.
Note! FYI. This paragraph is the advanced one. You will not need to modify any source code to proceed. But, as the possibilities of the DAW's view are limited, the part of the interaction within this scenario would be done in the "script output" console.
Let's imagine, that I want to assign the Reverb's VST Wet level to the FX parameter #2.
In order to achieve that, let's follow such steps:
-
Open the "script output" console:
Place it in a way that you see both the console and the target logical device on the screen.
-
Select the tab with the target device. It would be either the one with the output from "device_KorgKaossPad3Plus_MicController" class or from "device_KorgKaossPad3Plus_SynthController" class. Specific tab depends on the instance of the "input controller" logical device, which you are using:
-
Enter the "Midi mapping save mode" using the "Hold + double click on digit 5" short-cut on the KP3+:
The view will reflect this in the DAW in the following way:
On top of that you'll see the following message in the console:
MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Please, enter fx parameter number. -
Select the target fx parameter, using the 1-8 digits on the KP3+:
I've selected slot #2.
After the slot is selected, you'll see the following messages in the console:
MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Fx parameter number '1' was selected MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Please, select the target plugin MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #0 'FabFilter Pro-Q 3' -
Select the target VST plugin. Use the following controls on the KP3+ to navigate:
Control Meaning "A" Previous item "B" Next item "C" Select item and proceed to the next step "D" Cancel the operation 
In my case, I've pressed "B + B + B + B + B + C" to select the "Fruity Reverb 2" VST. I've seen the following output in the console:
MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #1 'FIN-VOOD' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #2 'Manipulator' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #3 'Fruity Fast Dist' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #4 'Fruity Stereo Enhancer' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #5 'Fruity Reeverb 2' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Plugin #5 'Fruity Reeverb 2' was selected MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Please, select the target parameter MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #0 'Low cut' -
Select the target VST parameter. The navigation is totally the same as in the previous point.
I've pressed "B" until I've scrolled to parameter #12 'Wet level'. Then I've pressed "C". I've seen the following output in the console:
MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #1 'High cut' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #2 'Predelay' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #3 'Room size' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #4 'Diffusion' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #5 'Decay time' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #6 'High damping' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #7 'Bass multiplier' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #8 'Crossover' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #9 'Stereo separation' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #10 'Dry level' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #11 'Early reflection level' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Current cursor position is - #12 'Wet level' MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Parameter #12 'Wet level' was selected device_KorgKaossPad3Plus_MicController: setMidiMappingSaveMode: midi mapping save mode - False -
The MIDI mapping was already assigned at this stage. The FX parameter slot will become "non-empty". The level of the parameter would be fetched from the VST plugin:
You can open the Reverb VST and check out, that changing the FX parameter 2 has an effect on the Reverb level:
-
If you like the created MIDI mapping - DO NOT FORGET TO SAVE THE PRESET. Only after that, the MIDI mapping data will be persistently stored.
Note! Read this previous paragraph to understand what we are talking about.
Let's imagine, that I want to delete MIDI mapping, which I've created at the previous step.
In order to achieve that:
-
Do all the steps from the the previous paragraph up to SELECTING THE TARGET FX PARAMETER.
-
press the "Hold + 6" short-cut on the KP3+:
That will delete the MIDI mapping. You'll see the following message in the console:
MIDI mapping input dialog >>> Mapping was deleted.The FX parameter slot will become empty in the view:
In terms of this project the sidechain means, that tracks 1 ( kick ), 2 ( snare ) and 3 ( hats ) of the looper #1 can independently:
- impact the volume of the input sources ( mic, synth, etc. ) - handled by the input controller
- impact the volume of the other loopers - handled by the looper mux
The most obvious use-case:
- Record the square kick to the track #1 of looper #1
- Enable the sidechain of the input sources
- Record bass, using your mic or synth, which will duck to the kick, resolving the kick-bass conflict
To change the sidechain levels of the input sources, use the "Hold + 5-8 vertical faders" on the KP3+ touch screen:
Fader 5 will change the sidechain level to the track #1 ( kick ) of the looper #1. The low-frequency filter is applied to this track's sidechain data, impacting the input signal's low frequency.
Fader 6 - to the track track #2 ( snare ) of the looper #1. The low-mid frequency filter is applied to this track's sidechain data and impacts the input signal's mid-frequency.
Fader 7 - to the track track #3 ( hats ) of the looper #1. The mid-high frequency filter is applied to this track's sidechain data and impacts the input signal's high frequency.
Fader 8 - to the track track #1 ( kick ) of the looper #1. In this case, sidechain data is NOT filtered by frequency, and it impacts the VOLUME of the input signal.
The view will reflect that in the following way within the DAW:
This feature allows you to instantly turn off the sidechain, that is applied to the input audio without losing those values and with the possibility to restore them.
Let's imagine, that you've set specific source sidechain levels on the input controller instance:
In order to stash the changes, turn the "PROGRAM<->BPM" knob on the KP3+ on 1 point right:
That will change all resource sidechain levels to zeroes, while previously existing values will be remembered:
Turn the "PROGRAM<->BPM" knob on the KP3+ on 1 point right or left to restore the values:
This feature adds ten composite automation clips to each saved input controller preset.
Feature consists of three controllers:
- Hold + touch to the touchscreen fader #1 - Switch to the next scene
- Hold + touch to the touchscreen fader #2 - Switch to the previous scene
- Hold + touch to the touchscreen fader #3 - Turn off the scenes
-
Switch to the target scene. When switching between the scenes, the FL Studio pattern will switch from the default '999' to the specific number:
-
Go to the input controller preset FX VST plugins and create automation of target parameters.
More information regarding the FL Studio event editor is available here.
In short, you should use the mouse to manually trigger a change in the target parameter. And then use the following menu to enter the event editor of that parameter:
-
Save the FL Studio project.
You're done! Now, switching to the target scene will activate the programmed automation.
Note! Switching between the presets will cause falling back to the FL Studio pattern #999, used as a "no operation" scene.
Note! The Livelooping project has two instances of the input controller logical device—one for the microphone and the other for the synth. This leads to a limitation, as FL Studio patterns are an exclusive resource. You can't activate two patterns at the same time. Thus, be aware that activating the scene for the synth will turn off the microphone's active scene.
Note! You might want to sync the DAW's transport to the recorded audio material so that the effects are properly synced with your material. To do this, use the following feature.
To reset the scene you can remove automation of the corresponding FL Studio pattern:
You also can remove automation of only one specific parameter.
This feature is intended for the performer to use when singing or playing the keyboard over the prerecorded material ( without recording it ).
When you've recorded your song's primary material and want to apply a singing or keyboard solo on top, you'll find it hard to place it inside the mix as the majority of the sound spectrum is already filled in with other instruments. The 'sidechain loopers' feature creates space in a mix by carving the frequencies the leading track needs into another track in real-time.
To activate the feature use **Hold + touch 3-rd touchscreen slider":
Once avtivated, the UI will represent the updated status:
Note! The 'sidechain loopers' mode will turn off when the sound preset changes.
Note! The 'sidechain loopers' mode will turn off once you start recording on the Looper Mux logical device. That is done because:
- when you start recording, you will also begin to impact the recorded signal with itself, which will lead to the artifacts
- the effect is not applied to the sound of the voice, but to the sound of all the loopers. Permanent modification of the sound on the loopers would require resampling and complex rewiring of the audio routing, which doesn't work so well in the current version of the FL Studio.
