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 2 49'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 2 has one Custom encoder mode. To access Custom Mode, hold Shift and press the encoder Mode Custom button. You can set the CC numbers using Components.
Without customising anything, the default custom encoder mode already sends messages. You can use FL Studio's Multilink to Controllers function to assign the encoders to parameters in FL Studio.
FLkey 2 has two Custom pad modes. To access Custom Modes, hold Shift and press one of the Custom Pads. You can set a pads's output using Components.
Without customising anything, the default Pad Custom Modes already send messages. You can use FL Studio's Multilink to Controllers function to assign the Pads to parameters in FL Studio.
FLkey 2 has one Custom fader mode. To access Custom Modes, hold Shift and press the Custom button. You can set a fader's output using Components.
Without customising anything, the default Fader Custom Mode already sends messages. You can use FL Studio's Multilink to Controllers function to assign the faders to parameters in FL Studio.
