Custom Chords & Scales

  • Custom chord sets and custom scales can be configured using the included generator app.

  • The generator app reads chords and scales from MIDI files and saves them in a format suitable for use with Maschine and FL Studio.

  • Use FL Studio's Piano Roll to create a chord set by painting in up to 16 chords consecutively, and then export a .mid file. To create a scale, paint up to 16 notes consecutively and then export.

  • MIDI files for chord sets must be named c1.mid, c2.mid, ... c16.mid.

  • MIDI files for scales must be named s1.mid, s2.mid, ... s16.mid.

  • Point the generator app to the folder containing your MIDI files by using the Browse button or by typing the path in the edit box.

  • Click "Generate Chord" or "Generate Scales" to save your new chord sets or scales. Restart FL Studio for the changes to take place.

  • Custom chord sets will be found in Group H while in Chord Set Mode. Custom scales will be found as the last scale in each Group.

  • Custom scales don't necessarily have to be melodic. They can be used to map pad note assignments to your favorite drum plugins.

  • To reset custom chord sets or custom scales back to factory defaults, leave the edit box empty and click the respective Generate button.
