The Playlist gets a minor overhaul to include track names and icons, mute switches, clip grouping and its own play button. Other tweaksĪs we mentioned, many of the improvements to FL9 have been made under the hood, and although they might not be as exciting as fancy new plug-ins, they're important in making FL Studio a swifter, more powerful program.įruity Limiter and the Mixer both now make sidechain routing a whole lot easier, for example, and the Fruity Wrapper channel can now take full advantage of third-party plug-ins with more than two outputs. And if that still sounds too much like hard work, there's a surprisingly effective random option. In a nutshell, it's an automatic pattern generator that enables one to set a few key parameters that determine the melody and groove of a riff, with the results being sent to the piano roll. The new Riff Machine feature tied into the piano roll makes it easy to come up with riffs, arpeggios and chord progressions. Not many DAWs boast such a straightforward yet comprehensive M/S tool and Image-Line are to be applauded for making a potentially confusing technique so accessible. There are lots of useful presets, too, divided into an Effects bank (with presets for 'stereoising' mono signals and other interesting stereo effects), and a Mixing bank. M/S processing might not seem like an obvious choice for an FL Studio effect, but it's such a powerful concept that its inclusion can only be a good thing. Stereo Shaper, meanwhile, is a mid/side-capable stereo processor, with a mixer for left/right channels and their inverted equivalents, plus knobs for channel delay and phase offset. Vocodex is a huge step up from the old Fruity Vocoder, with a clear interface that makes it quick and easy to dial in great sounds. Perhaps most enticing are the new effects. "Autogun is the only new instrument and is based on the additive synthesis engine of Image-Line's Ogun plug-in." Of more value is the inclusion of five existing synths - DX-10, WASP, WASP XT, SimSynth and DrumSynth - that were previously bundled only with the top-of-the-range editions of FL Studio, but now come with all packages except Express.
