What is FL Studio?
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. |
| Advanced playlist & full-featured audio tracks.
|
| Live recording of control movements & integrated
automation events editor. |
| Easy MIDI remote controlling of most parameters (VST
plugins supported as well). |
| Procedural control over parameters by using
special controller plugins. |
| Click removal & volume ramping to avoid pops. |
| Imports *.WAV, *.SYN (SimSynth 1 & 2),
*.DS (DrumSynth) files, with effects applied. |
| Imports MIDI sequences and controller events. |
| Exports audio to 16Bit or 32Bit
*.WAV file, *.MP3. |
| Can export MIDI notes & controller events to a
standard MIDI file. |
