🎹 Core Workflow & Features


Unlike general controllers, the FLpad features custom hardware integration and specialized firmware tailored directly to FL Studio scripts:
  • Channel Rack Integration: Select and trigger audio samples directly from the 64 colour-coded pads without touching your mouse.
  • Step Sequencing: Quickly sketch out melodies, basslines, and drum patterns for up to four instruments simultaneously, utilizing direct access to FL Studio's Graph Editor to adjust note velocity, pitch, and note repeats. [1, 2]
  • Live Performance & Finger Drumming: Features dedicated automatic layouts for native FL Studio plugins like FPC, Slicex, and Fruity Slicer.
  • Scale Mode: Lock the grid into one of 30 pre-installed musical scales to play melodies and basslines without ever hitting a wrong note.
  • Mixer & Transport Controls: The grid can be switched to act as physical faders to control the channel volume or mixer directly from the hardware, alongside dedicated transport buttons (Play, Record, Undo/Redo).
