Custom Modes allow you to create unique MIDI templates for each control area. You can create templates and send them to the FLkey from Novation Components. To access Components, visit components.novationmusic.com using a Web MIDI-enabled browser (we recommend Google Chrome, Opera, or Firefox). Alternatively, download the Components standalone version from your Novation Account page.
You can configure the FLkey 37's controls to send custom messages using Novation Components. We refer to these custom message configurations as Custom Modes. To access the Custom Modes, press Shift and the Custom Mode Pad buttons.
Note
When using Custom Modes, the 16 velocity-sensitive pads light in response to incoming MIDI messages. This allows visual feedback from external hardware or software, improving integration and live performance control.
FLkey has one Pot Custom Mode. To access Custom Mode, hold Shift and press the Pot Mode Custom button. You can set a pot's CC numbers using Components.
Without customising anything, the default custom pot mode already sends messages. You can use FL Studio's Multilink to Controllers function to assign the pots to parameters in FL Studio.
FLkey has one pad Custom Mode. To access this Custom Mode, hold Shift and press the Custom pad. You can set pads to send MIDI notes, Program Changes messages and CC (Control Change) messages using Components.
