• Project Settings - Shows/hides the Project Settings window.
• Enable MIDI Remote Control - When not checked, you will not be able to use MIDI remote control in FL Studio, but the device you use for remote control will be released for use in other applications you run simultaneously with FL Studio.
• Enable MIDI Output - When not checked, you will not be able to use MIDI output in FL Studio, but the device you use for output will be released for use in other applications you run simultaneously with FL Studio.
• Enable MIDI Master Sync - If checked, FL Studio 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 FL Studio 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.
