When moving notes in the Piano Roll or clips in the Playlist, it's all too easy to drag them up or down accidentally when you only mean to move them left or right, and vice versa. Whether you want to capture a sampled riff as MIDI, or hum or whistle a melody as a starting point for a project, all you have to do is drag your imported or recorded audio into Newtone and click the Send to Piano Roll button at the top of the interface.

Whistle while you workĪmongst its many other talents, Newtone can convert audio to MIDI. If you have two sequential MIDI notes on the same Piano Roll note lane that you want to merge into one, rather than deleting the second and extending the first, you can now just click and hold the end of the first note, invoking the Resize cursor, and the second (provided it neighbours the first) will merge into it, creating one continuous note. To enable this, head to Options and, under Project general settings, enable Play truncated notes in clips. What this means is that if you use the cut tool to cut out a section of a clip in the Playlist (to insert a new short section, for example), notes that have had their starts cut off but still otherwise remain will play from their new start points. It can often be a good idea to make variations on the hook of a track, and a handy addition in FL Studio 11 that can help with this is the ability to play truncated notes. The FL 11 mousewheel action doesn't end there! Rolling it while clicking and holding a note adjusts that note's velocity, while holding Ctrl, hovering over a channel and rolling the wheel cycles through the assigned mixer tracks.
