you use for remote control will be released for use in other applications
you run simultaneously with FruityLoops.
- Enable MIDI Output - When not checked, you
will not be able to use MIDI output in FruityLoops, but the device you use
for output will be released for use in other applications you run simultaneously
with FruityLoops.

will sync (as a master) with an external MIDI device or a sequencer. You can
choose a device to sync with in the MIDI Settings
window.
- Typing Keyboard to Piano (
Ctrl+T) - When turned on, you can use your
typing keyboard to record notes as you would do with a real MIDI keyboard.
- Metronome (
Ctrl+M) - When turned on, you will hear a short "metronome"
sound in the beginning of each beat with an accent at the beginning of each
bar. It is especially useful when you need to keep yourself "synced"
with song tempo when recording a melody from a MIDI keyboard.
- Recording Precount (
Ctrl+P) - When turned on, you will hear countdown
metronome ticks before the start of a recording session.
- Start on Input (
Ctrl+I) - When turned on, pressing the play
button will set FruityLoops in waiting mode and actual playing/recording begins
at the moment input data is received (for example, when key is pressed on
the MIDI keyboard).
- Blend Recorded Notes (
Ctrl+B) - When turned on, the notes you record
will blend with any already existing ones, otherwise recorded notes will overwrite
the old ones.
- Step Recording (
Ctrl+E) - Switches step
recording on and off.
