Create a nice pad with FL Studio’s 3xOsc

April 16, 2009

1. Go ahead and open up a new 3xOsc channel and make sure it is on mixer channel 1.

2. Set the 1st oscillator to triangle, the 2nd to square and the 3rd to noise. Turn the 3rd oscillators volume down a little.

3. Set the stereo detune for the first two oscillators roughly like this.

4. Go into the INS tab and make sure volume is selected. Put the HOLD up as far as it will go and set the REL to a 12 o’clock position. Set the MOD X to a 2 o’clock position.

5. Now go into the mixer and select these effects in the same order as the picture. Keep them all on their default preset except Reeverb 2, which should be on the ‘Cathedral’ preset, and the Soundgoodizer, which should have it’s settings set like the picture.

Congratulations, you just made a nice, warm pad! It should sound something like this.
