See the section Working with the stretch/pitch functions for more details on synchronizing/beatmatching audio clips to the project This will stretch the samples and make them play off-pitch or tempo. Playlist & time-stretching/pitch-shifting - Make sure you are not inadvertently using ' Stretch' mode on the Audio Clip Focus tab.You are the producer here, you figure it out :) Set it to whatever it should be, and no we don't know what that is. This can cause the Root note to jump to C1 which is probably wrong and will make the sample play back very fast & high-pitched. If samples have their root note set to 0 in their meta data (see 1 above) Right-Click on the strip above the preview keyboard to set. Root note & Add to key - Check the Root note is set to C5 (if that is what the root note should be).Stepsequencer - Check the Stepsequencer Piano roll Pitch modifier is not the cause of unexpected pitch changes.Use the Target control to select these modifiers for inspection. Piano roll - Check the Piano roll integrated Event Editor Note fine pitch and Channel pitch settings are not causing the unexpected pitch changes.Main pitch slider - Check the Main pitch slider is at the default position.Omni MIDI preview channel - When you have Omni MIDI preview channel set each key from C5 triggers a different Instrument Channel and so you cant.Right-Click the Time knob and select ' (none)'. Right-Click the Pitch and Multiplier knobs and select ' reset'. Override the sample settings - Click on the Audio Clip or Sampler Channel to open the Channel Settings SMP tab.Middle note errors can't be ignored and must be corrected in the sample (see above). Ignore BPM - The General Settings option ' Read sample tempo information' (sample meta data) can be deselected and the BPM will be ignored.You can also set FL Studio to ignore this data by deselecting Read sample tempo information. Low and High should be set to C0 and G10 respectively. Check the Tempo (BPM) field is empty (or set to the correct BPM) AND/OR the Middle note is set to C5 (the default). If this is wrong then it can cause issues as described above. Correct sample meta data - Some samples contain 'meta data' that includes the pitch or tempo they were recorded at.Pitch issues will be related to data saved in the sample or FL Studio pitch modifier controls. If this data is incorrect, you may experience less than intelligent behavior.Ĭorrecting Sample Pitch or Tempo problems This data is included in files to be used intelligently by samplers or the host program (FL Studio). This is information that is saved in the sample and includes things like BPM (speed) pitch (middle note) or regions and slices. If you load samples and they play too fast, play too slow, change their pitch or won't change their pitch (3 below) there are a number of places to check in the sample for incorrect ' meta data'.
