There are 4 kicks per bar and 4 sixteenth notes per beat, making this 4/4 time. Each step is 1/4 of a beat, and each beat is a quarter note, so that means each step is a sixteenth note.Ībove we can see that each beat has 4 steps and each kick is falling on a beat. In FL Studio’s Step Sequencer at default 4/4 time, we can see that each beat consists of four adjacent gray or red steps, and that each set of four beats makes up one bar.

Like we mentioned earlier, time signature is the notation we use to define how many beats are in a bar, and what note duration (whole note, half note, quarter note, etc.) is equal to one beat.

In this tutorial, we’ll cover a few basics on time signatures, how to change the timebase setting, and how to change time signature in FL Studio. Time signature, also known as meter signature, is the convention we use to tell us how many beats are in one bar and which note value (duration of a note) is equal to one beat.
