today I'll show you how to set up
permanent generic links between your
controller FL Studio and plugins
I'll start by linking the first four
sliders on this controller to the first
four insert track faders on the mixer
first select the multi-link controller
switch and then tweak the list of
interface targets you want to link 1 2 3
& 4 tweak as many as you liked or think
you can remember
then right-click the multi link
controller switch and select override
generic links now tweak the physical
controller knobs or sliders in the order
you want to link them
so you can see sliders 1 2 4 control
faders one two four one
two three and four
moving on let's link some knobs to
synthesizer targets I often find myself
in harmless using the frequency and
pluck controls so I'll link those again
select the multi linked controller
switch tweak the interface targets in
the order you want to link them plug-in
frequency
then right-click the switch and select
override generic links
so pluck will be this knob and frequency
this one there we go
pluck and frequency control done
[Music]
so I want to use these same controls on
citrus so let's link them to the XY
knobs on the main panel again click the
multi link controller switch tweak the
interface targets then right-click the
switch and select override generic links
and finally tweak the knobs on the
controller
we have a X&Y linked if we now go to
harmless it's focused because I clicked
on it the same knobs control D platen
frequency cut-offs so a nice feature is
that with just a few controls you can
reuse them on as many plugins as you
want and these links will be there next
time you start if your studio so there's
no need to relink anything as I'm
demonstrating the interface that's
focused last clicked on determines
what's controlled mixer citrus or
harmless
what about badly behaved third-party VST
plugins' most vsts published their
parameters and the linking procedure is
exactly the same as you've just seen
however if you tweak a VST interface
target and it isn't recognized by FL
Studio you will need to open the current
project generators wrapper for the VST
and you'll need to work out which midi
CC parameters relates to the interface
control
it's been very similar to before select
the multi-link controller switch but
this time click the interface CC targets
in the list then right-click the switch
and select override generic links
finally tweak the knobs on the
controller and you're done so let's have
a look at where this data is saved since
you may want to back it up or even
delete it to start over at some point
it's in the FL studio installation
folder system configuration mapping
generic but it's easy to get to just
right-click something in the browser
like backup and then select windows
shell menu open and you'll be dropped
into the FL Studio installation folder
I'll just back up into the FL studio
install and go down into system
configuration mapping generic in here
you'll see folders for each controller
you've used generic is the default if
you go into a folder you'll see files
for each interface or plugin target that
you've linked feel free to delete any of
these files
or at the level above you may want to
back these up the adventurous can open
them in a text editor and see the format
their standard XML files the Intrepid
will work out how to edit them until
next time start making your permanent
global links
