I’ll repeat the process and skip the next highlighted note to D5, which is E5, and place a MIDI note at the next highlighted note, which is F#5. To do this, I’ll skip the next note in the scale (the notes in the scale are the highlighted notes) and place a MIDI note at the one above it. A chord is made up of at least 3 notes so I’ll need to add 2 more. Step 2: Now, I’ll add some more MIDI notes to turn it into an actual chord. This will be the root note of my first chord. Step 1: Pick a highlighted note to start on and place a MIDI note on it. Note: I will only be using the highlighted notes as they appear in the F# minor natural scale. It made it easier to create chords and even understand musical intervals. For me, this helped me a great deal when I was a beginner just starting to get into music theory. You can use the piano roll scale highlighting feature to create beautiful melodies and breath taking chord progressions by sticking to the highlighted notes. Now the rows of all the notes used in F# minor (natural) have been highlighted in the piano roll. Once the scale highlighting options are open, I’ll click on F# under the Root note sub-menu to select it as my root note. I’ll refer back to Step 3 to open the scale highlighting options again.
I want to play in F# minor (natural) so F# will be my root note. You will have to change it if you want to play in a different key. By default, the root note or key is set to C once you select the scale. Step 5: All that’s left now is to set the root note or the key you want to play in. The notes highlighted are the notes present in the natural minor scale. Once you select a scale, you’ll notice that the rows of some notes in the piano roll will immediately be highlighted. In my case, I want to create a chord progression in the natural minor scale so I will select ‘Minor Natural (Aeolian)’ from the menu. Step 4: Next, select the scale you want to be highlighted in the piano roll from the options available. This opens up the scale highlighting options which contain the different types of scales available in FL Studio. Step 3: From the options go to View> Helpers> Scale highlighting. This will open up a drop down menu containing the piano roll options. Step 2: Once the piano roll is open, click on the arrow located at the top left corner of the piano roll. Do this by clicking on the piano roll icon in the toolbar or by pressing F7 on your keyboard. Let’s go over the various steps needed to apply scale highlighting in the piano roll.

How to apply Scale Highlighting in the Piano Roll
This means the notes with the darker rows are not used in the current scale and if you use them they will sound out-of-key. On the other hand, we can see that the rows of the notes marked with a cross or an X (🗶) are a darker shade than the rows of the notes that are highlighted. These highlighted notes are the notes that are to be used in the current scale. It works by highlighting the notes used in the scale and darkening the notes that are not in the scale in the piano roll.įrom the image above, we can see that the rows of the notes with the check/tick marks (✔) are highlighted and are a lighter shade than the rows of the other notes.
