Hey everybody,
I have put together my first Fruity Loops pattern! Yeah! However, I am having a problem. The loop is 16 bars long. However, the program keeps playing the 17th bar, which is silence, which I think happened when I recorded things into the machine via my controller keyboard because when I was done playing the keyboard it took me a bar to hit stop.How do I get rid of the 17th bar so that it loops properly?

Oct 05, 2002 05:57 pm Open the sample that is decaying into the next measure in an audio editor (WaveLab or SoundForge) and hack it off...or whatever is recorded into the next measure, be it a sample or a direct recording.
Oct 06, 2002 10:30 pm hmm, it shouldn't be doing that unless it really did record a note decaying beyond that measure. scroll all the way up and down in the piano roll and make sure there are no notes in that 17th step, and also that no note begins before it and then trails on into that 17th step, if there are truncate them back into measure where they belong. note that if no sound is being played, it doesn't really matter. once you take your composition over into the playlist (press F5) and swith over to song mode (press L key to toggle) the song will loop that pattern properly. if youre still having problems, you can export that whole pattern (in pattern mode) to a wav file and create a new sampler channel where it triggers that sample on the first step of whichever pettern you choose. Fruity is powerful. Read the manual, it helps alot! ;O) -j

Oct 07, 2002 10:44 am if you exported the pattern as a wav and this occurs then you may have the "leave remainder" option checked.

Oct 07, 2002 10:00 pm I'm with Db. Stick it in a wave editor and hit the chainsaw icon. Hack that baby off! Instentanious dimenuendo!

Oct 07, 2002 10:27 pm You just need to go into the playlist editer and delete the bar you don't need. It is very simple.
Oct 08, 2002 08:28 am That does not always work, if it is a sound from the previous measure that is decaying into the 17th measure, so it may not be as easy as just removing the measure, cuz the measure my not actually even be there...in which case you need to play hardball...FruityLoops is funny that way sometimes.

Oct 08, 2002 10:04 pm I just give the ol PC a good swift kick and that fixes it right up. lol
Oct 09, 2002 04:48 am Or put a great and powerful Pokiemon charatcter on your power supply to keep away the evil bugs...it works for Noize :-)
Oct 09, 2002 09:54 pm I am not sure where I could get a great big Pokemon sticker, so I am lucky that the other suggestions worked. I checked the piano roll and found a note dragging into the 17th bar. Thanks Jamie, and everybody who made a suggestion. I would have been willing to consider the Pokemon sticker.

Oct 09, 2002 10:16 pm Actually dB is right, I had a bad week with this box and my son brought me a Picachu (he is an electric Pokeman) figure about 2" tall and told me he could gaurd the inside of the PC. So I put that little sucker in there right on the power supply, and then just for kick's we pasted another sticker of him and a plastic cake decoration thingy on the outside. Well wouldn't you know I have not crashed this thing major league since. Call it luck or whatever, someitme's the weirdest thing's work out.
Oct 10, 2002 12:36 am no problem, anytime man. And as for protective mascots, I'm a big fan of H.R. Giger's Alien, so I got a bunch of the little Kenner action figures guarding my workstation. Played heck getting them through ICC quarantine. Deadliest organism in the galaxy...
Oct 10, 2002 05:24 pm hehe, my protective mascot is an old war mask from Kenya hanging over my gear that my cousin brought back for me while on tour with the Army.
The name carved in the back of the mask is "Jambo" naturally, he thought of me :-)

Oct 10, 2002 09:07 pm Oh ya, and there's 2 more of those little Pichachu's sitting on top of my moniter. Talk about over kill. My kid's have added an assortment of stuffed critter's and the like to keep me company in here.
