I don't do a lot of blips and bloops but I use FL for everything I do:

I'm seriously considering writing a VST for something, though.
I want to take input from my MIDI keyboard, then split that to channels 1-16, with each of which should be togglable with MIDI CC commands. Like organ stops, you know.
This will sit between my KB and the main VST I use (which is ARIA player) for when I'm playing poo poo live, so I can switch instruments on an off using something my nano kontrol/ launch control / FL Fire

not super familiar with FL and ARIA but here's how it should be possible:
assuming your MIDI keyboard transmits on channel 1, you need 16 tracks each listening to MIDI channel 1 to receive data from your keyboard
each channel should output to the channel where you have your ARIA VST (I assume it listens on many channels at the same time?).
now the trick is to configure each of those tracks so that it routes the MIDI to the correct instrument in ARIA and that should be somehow doable in FL

after you've done the routing, now you only need to map some keyboard or MIDI CCs for arming the 16 tracks so that you can toggle them on and off - ARIA will just receive incoming notes from the proper tracks and voila you can switch instruments on and off

another way is just to MIDI learn the toggle parameters in ARIA?

but definitely you dont need a VST just to do that, this is all basic DAW routing stuff, should be possible one way or the other

I think the right way to do this in FL is to use a Layer, which you set up to be connected to 16 MidiOuts, each with their output channel/port set to the corresponding instrument in the ARIA VST.
The rear end part of this is that I have two keyboards and a bass foot pedals. So I have to set up 3 layers and 48 midi outs. That's frustrating, but it would probably be the best thing to do.

it took me 8 years of owning this garbage interface to figure out the best way to get AISO output back as WDM input is to loop the SPDIF out back to the SPDIF in with a physical cable

i feel like i'm getting better at this, though i still have a lot to learn re getting things balanced and mastered and 'clean'.

in this i think the bass gets muddy and the synth kick that supplements the sample makes it sound like it's clipping

quite happy with the last minute and a half though

been on a kick of using prerecorded voices that are used for notifications/alerts or whatever

if anyone knows of something like that that could be neat for a song let me know

important note about that last one: do NOT sample the EAS tones, the dialup modem-sounding bits. unauthorized broadcast of valid EAS tones is highly illegal due to how they work (it’ll set off a chain of EAS machines and the government will get mad). assume any EAS tones you hear are valid and avoid sampling or chopping them, just to be sure.

also some of this poo poo is probably copyrighted especially the train announcements so ymmv

oh poo poo, yeah these are all great ideas. noted on the EAS tones.
i kind of love the japanese tsunami warning chime. it's a shame sampling it would be an rear end in a top hat+Dipshit Move.

thinking about number stations had me wondering you could use DUGA interference as the backbone of a beat if you hosed with it enough

not sure if i'd gently caress around more, but here's an attempt

daws can be weird and impenetrable
setting up fl studio to play multiple instruments to a single multi-channel vst feels like you're running start-up procedures for a computer in the 60s

'okay henry confirm port'
'vst listening on port 1'
'port 1, and confirm channel for 'violin 1 keyselect''
'violin 1 keyselect loaded to channel 2'
'sending cc 1 on channel 2 port 1, expecting intensity control, confirm comms'
