FL
Studio is a full-featured sequencer perfectly
suited for creation of complex songs and realistic
drum loops, with 32 bit internal mixing and advanced
MIDI support. The resulting song or loop can be
exported to a WAV/MP3 file and all MIDI events
can be exported to a standard MIDI file.
FL Studio is a pattern based sequencer, which
means you create your songs in pieces (patterns)
using the Step Sequencer and the Piano Roll view
and then weld those pieces together using the
Playlist window (the Playlist also supports full-featured
audio tracks with hardrrive streaming). Then you
can add a wide range of effects to your instruments
(reverb, phaser, flanger etc.) and route the resulting
mixer tracks in any way you like to
create complex mixing chains with ease. Main Features:
-
Internal 32 bit floating point mixing, up to
96kHz stereo.
-
Supports DirectSound and ASIO enabled sound
cards for audio output.
-
Ability to function as a VSTi, DXi and a ReWire
client.
-
Ability to host ReWire clients itself.
-
Realtime linear interpolation & sophisticated
interpolation
algorithms at rendering time.
-
Open
architecture allowing third-party instruments
(enhanced
proprietary FL instruments standard, VSTi and
DXi2) and effects
(enhanced proprietary FL effects standard, VST,
VST2 and DirectX).
-
A full set of high-precision mastering and special
effects filters:
reverb, compressor, procedural equalizer, distortion,
phaser,
flanger, bass boost, delay line and other.
-
Advanced sequencing methods allowing quick entering
of realistic
drum loops (step sequencing grid) and composing
complex
instrumentals (advanced piano roll, arpeggiator,
keyboard tracking,
real-time gate).
-
Unique note properties morphing ability (pitch,
cutoff, resonance,
panning).
-
Advanced
mixer: 68 mixer tracks (64 insert and 4 send
tracks)
supporting up to 8 filters each; mixer tracks
rerouting for creating
of complex mixer chains; track recording with
ASIO input support
(for recording MIDI, vocals etc.); integrated
procedural equalizer,
volume and panning for each mixer track.
-
Integrated instruments: Sampler, TS404 (the
popular bassline
engine), 3xOSC (subsynth), Plucked! (plucked
strings), MIDI Out,
DX10 (FM synth), Scratcher (turntable emulator),
WaveTraveller (wave
bend synth), Wasp (demo), SimSynth Live (demo),
and more.
