Fl studio midi question/ make a song ?

[The Bastard]

is there a way to pick the midi note u played and adjust the position of it like you can in reason on fl studio, im really feelin flstudio i recently got it and the only think i dislkike about it is i have to play the midi perfectly synched to the beat because like i said i dunno how to make adjustments on the notes ,p.s. another thing thing i havent been able to figure out is how to program a song,i been makin beats limited to 64 bars and i want to know if theres a way to expand that so i can make some variations in the patterns, thanks

I don't know midi, but I think you have to open like a piano roll to adjust the notes.
you can do that also with wav samples.
right click and send to piano roll.
to make tracks you have to click the button wich says PL (playlist) next to the save section.
there you can combine every pattern you made.

good luck.

Inspectah, EKA got it right....imma add to it.....right mouse click over a channel and send to piano roll.....then use the selection tool and quantize....quick quantize doesn't always get it right.......also if you got track you don't want exact quantizing....TURN off the grid snapping...that way you can move the note anywhere you want.....I make it easy when making patterns I only use 4 or eight bars, but I copy what I did to new pattern and alter that pattern slightly to take the monotony out of the beat....and then just as EKA said go to song mode and paint the pattern in there how you want it to play thaz it...

ok so i did that but now im getting overlappying when the end of the first pattern meets the beggining of the second one and it sounds mad ugly,is there sumthin im doin wrong?

make sure that in the playlist you either re-enable the grid to cell or line snapping......that way when you paint the patterns you want to play in the song they should not overlap and transition smooth.
