So I have been trying to get my head around this whole midi thing. Took the plunge and got Fruity Loops. Got a midi cable and tried to get some recording done....can't get it to record the midi. I get the instrument loaded, and hear it playing through the headphones, but every fourth beat of the chord goes where lost socks go.

If tried YouTube, and can't pinpoint what I am doing wrong. Anybody in Cape Town using FL studio, who has the time and inclination, to spend an hour with me to get me started?

PLEASE?

WHERES ALAN when you need him ? ? ?

Don't know FL at all, but I do know some general midi.

Sounds to me like you have a midi sync problem. Usually you would set only one device in your midi chain to be the master midi clock, and all other devices keep time by monitoring a time pulse signal sent through the cables.

Check your midi settings on both you PC/FL and your Keyboard (I assume). One (preferably the PC) should be master, and the other should be told to listen for this pulse.

I may be completely wrong here, but it's the first thing I would check if I were you.

@Darnoldi, I don't know where to even start checking that....calling all Fruity Loopers!
