You can do this by pressing F4 on your keyboard. This existing pattern can dictate the length of what you can record. PROBLEM 3 – Check to make sure there are no other instruments recorded on the patternĪnother common problem can occur when you already have, say, a drum pattern programmed. When you are dealing with an instrument like the piano, this can cause some strange glitches in the playback. The strange thing that happens is the notes you play are all recorded on the piano roll, but the notes are only represented at a single highlighted button on the pattern window. This can be alright if you are doing a single note or single hit instrument, but this can cause some weird problems if you are using something like a piano. There is an item that says record to step sequencer. You can see this option by right clicking on the record button in the transport bar. PROBLEM 2 – Make sure you do not have record to step sequencer selected If you really want to get rid of the problem, make sure to uncheck the loop recording option. Which means when you are recording, it will go as long as what you chosen. That will increase the length of the pattern in FL Studio. You can change this by clicking and then dragging up on this section. When you have this option selected, the program will record only as long as the loop is designated for. That is probably the biggest culprit with the dreaded one bar loop in recording. There is a button up at the top of the transport controls that looks like this.
