Setting Up Layers in Fruity Loops
Using Layers in Fruity Loops
Using layers in Fruity Loops allows you to trigger multiple sound sources from one channel in the Step Sequencer. Layers are very easy to set up in FL Studio, yet are very powerful and helpful.
Start a new Fruity Loops project. Now insert a couple drum samples, a 3x Osc, and a BooBass channel. Now in the top menu bar click "Channels" then "Add one" then "Layer" at the top of the pop-up. This will insert a Layer channel to the Fruity Loops Step Sequencer.

In the FL Studio Step Sequencer click the Layer channel, this will bring up the Channel Settings window. Select the channels you want to add to the Layer by turning on the little green light to the right of the channel name in the Step Sequencer.
Click the layer channel to bring up the Channel Settings window, and with the channels you want to add to the Layer selected in the Step Sequencer click "Set Children";. Program a quick pattern in the Step Sequencer in the Layer channel, try right-clicking the Layer channel selecting "Edit" then "Randomize"; The Step Sequencer randomizer window will pop-up. Step the values to your preference and hit the check mark. Now pres play and you will see that all the channels are being triggered from the one pattern in the Layer channel. This is great for quickly layering snare, kick drums, synths, or random sounds in a FL Studio audio project.
Another useful feature of layers in FruityLoops is being able to trigger random sound sources from one layer. To do this click the Layer channel in the Step Sequencer to bring up the Channel Settings window and turn on the Random button under Set Children. Now hit play and you'll hear the pattern being played by random children of that layer. Often I use this by setting both an open hi-hat and a closed hi-hat channels to one layer and letting them trigger randomly.
