Tools Menu
The Tools menu contains useful tools for working with channels, patterns an effects,
and gives you the ability to use external application as tools in FruityLoops.
Channels:
- Select Unused - Selects all channels that
do not contain any notes (neither in the Step
Sequencer or the Piano Roll) in any pattern.
Patterns:
- Go To Next Empty (
F4) - Switches to the next
pattern that does not contain any note events (either in the Step Sequencer or
the Piano Roll) in any channel.
- Insert Blank (
Shift+Ctrl+Ins) - Inserts blank
pattern before the currently selected one.
- Clone Current (
Shift+Ctrl+C) - Inserts a clone
of the current pattern right after it. The cloned pattern has the same note
events (with their velocity, pan etc. properties) in the Step Sequencer as the
original, but currently the Piano Roll data and the events are not copied into
the new pattern.
- Delete Current (
Shift+Ctrl+Del) - Deletes the current pattern.
Misc:
- Smart Disable for all Effects - Turns on
Smart Disable for all effects (see Effects
Tracks window)
- Keep Notes Continuous (
Shift+Ctrl+K) - Sets the pitch of all inactive
notes in Step Sequencer to the pitch of the last active one (useful to keep
notes' pitch continuous in TS404 channels).

dialog that
lets you set external applications (wave editors, sample browsers etc.) as
tools in FruityLoops.
