In this Part 8, I quickly walk you through the FL Studio Gross Beat tab and how it can help you enhance your beat with time and pitch-style effects. I don’t really use Gross Beat like that in my own day-to-day workflow, but I still wanted to show you how it works, how it loads, and how you can start getting creative with it inside FL Studio. Once you open Gross Beat, you’ll see the different sections (like section one and section two), plus the preset/effect options you can trigger. The main thing I focus on here is linking Gross Beat to controllers (like an iPad/IL Remote setup). I show you the exact “link to controller” process: you click the empty slot, choose “link to controller,” and it starts mapping in order. One important takeaway (and my biggest downside) is that the names you see on your iPad don’t always match what you’ll see or what loads inside Gross Beat—sometimes it just loads default names, and that can be annoying. The mapping still follows the order on the screen, so you may need to rename things to fit your workflow. I also mention some cool options I found around the “turntable” region, which can give you some really interesting movement and vibe.
