Noisysundae to the...ummm...rescue!

Slides don't work with MIDI channels and most external VSTs in FL, unfortunately. For MIDI, the closest thing is controlling channel via the piano roll. :(
For example, if you want to make a legato, draw the graph in 'channel control > note fine pitch'.

First, to import MIDI as a project, just drag the MIDI into the background area (not in the piano roll) or File > Import > MIDI file.
Every MIDI channel can be changed even if I used a preset. (which I didn't :P) You can change instruments in their MIDI out channels or in Fruity LSD.

Making mine too but I won't do a remix of my own in this contest because it's too predictable and mainstream. :P

I figured out/eliminated most of those problems by messing around a little.
@ChronoNomad, I eventually decided to screw around with a few of the channel presets and managed to get what I feel is a better track, so thanks for the suggestion there.
The note which I was having problems with decided to slide itself upon having its channel changed. :v
@Noisysundae - the reason I couldn't figure out how to change the patch was seemingly due to something about the imported Fruity LSD not liking me changing your patches. I eventually used totally separate channel presets, so problem solved.

Anyway...

Well, well. I had some excess time (unfortunately, not enough), to remake @SkelaNG's track for the second round of this contest XD
As I was in a hurry, I'm not actually sure whether the MIDI or this version is better, hahha :D
You decide ;)

If I have more time some other day, I may remake my own track as well as a second entry, although @ChronoNomad already uploaded a wonderful version of it :3

EDIT: Actually, ChronoNomad's version is so nice, I probably won't remake my own after all... But if I get time, I may perhaps choose another one from the pool, and bring it to life :p

Hey, where's the fun and the challenge if no one else does it ? Actually, I'm already working on my own version as well. :p

Can't agree more. Did I mention that when I began making music, I didn't even knew what "sounding right" meant ? Of course, I discovered it the hard way, making something sounding so wrong I probably killed a lot of people the day I published it. xDD

EDIT : Whoops, I probably double-clicked the "post" button.

That is awesome! Really looking forward to hearing every track that comes out of this contest. I'm actually working on a second track since we're allowed to make two...

Which track? That's a secret. For now.

Submission deuce! This time around I went with @Noisysundae 's track and made it my own...with a twist!

A twist of Sytrus, that is! :v

Pfft... I actually like your track a lot m0le. If no one covers it (which I doubt will happen), you can expect a mockup from me. Too good to go to waste. :D

First time using someone else's music.
Im going to have a try with number 9 by @FaeryTaleAdventurer, that part at 0:36 is too good to be ignored.

Working on another track for this but FL is deciding not to let me permanently change the panning of individual channels - when I play the track, it resets itself to what the original creator had chosen. Suggestions?

I just noticed something.

dem0lecule's MIDI is in 3/4 time. So is Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (for the most part).
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds is a song about LSD.
LSD can stand for LucidShadowDreamer.
LucidShadowDreamer is on a team with dem0lecule in the NGADM.

Illuminati confirmed?

Ah, yes! I encountered this issue pretty early on, but there's a quick way around it. When you're in the Piano Roll, just go into the Channel Volume and change the variable at the bottom. That's why turning the knob doesn't stick, but if you adjust the Channel Volume it will.

I figured out other ways to change the volume (though that will help for any mid-track changes) but needed help with changing the pan knobs for channels.

In browser tab (left of the screen), go to Current project > Patterns > Initialized controls. Look for the pan. Right click and select 'delete event'.

It took a little more fiddling as there was no "delete event" option, but using the piano roll-style editor I eventually managed it. Turns out you have to click the start of the event. Go figure.

I appreciate this! Best of luck, m8!

I love how everyone is remaking pretty much the same track. But nonetheless, as my second submission, here's my rendition of @NoisySundae's lovely track ;)

You don't actually need to wait for that. Just publish it and they can confirm after.

Or just use "No.[insert track number here] remix" to feel like you're doing a mock-up of a famous artist's masterpiece. XD

Good to hear you're happy that I picked your track :)
And of course, it is an amazing track, which I realized even more when I tried to make something out of it :D
Don't worry about writing a review quickly! I have about 10 reviews I need to write atm, but I honestly don't have time either. School work for me too -_-
Not to speak of the NGADM o.O

I wish I could postpone school stuff too :)

Unfortunately, that number would have to be 5 in order for it to be relevant at all on NG, so I'm out of luck.

Noisy makes too much trance and other genres for that

Hmm maybe this should stay in PM as it's secret

But I still wish it was true lelel

I'll be finishing my rendition of @LucidShadowDreamer's entry up tomorrow morning and uploading it then. I yanked out the percussion though, other than that the composition is unchanged.

I hope you like synthphonic morechestra.
