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. Sophisticated interpolation algorithms (hermite, sinc) during realtime playback & at rendering time. Supports DirectSound and ASIO enabled sound cards for audio output and ASIO audio recording.
	Open architecture allowing third-party instruments (enhanced proprietary FL instruments standard, VSTi , DXi2 & Buzz ) and effects (enhanced proprietary FL effects standard, VST, VST2, DirectX & Buzz). Ability to function as a VSTi, DXi and a ReWire client. Ability to host ReWire clients itself.
	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).
	Live recording of control movements & integrated automation events editor. Multi-segment automation clips with unlimited complexity and integrated LFO unit. Procedural control over parameters by using special controller plugins.
	Advanced mixer: 68 mixer tracks (64 insert and 4 send tracks) supporting up to 8 filters each; Mixer tracks routing 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.
	Plenty of high-quality integrated instruments: WaveTraveller (wave bend synth), Sampler, TS404 (the popular bassline engine), 3xOSC (subsynth), Plucked! (plucked strings), MIDI Out, DX10 (FM synth), Scratcher (turntable emulator), Wasp (demo), SimSynth Live (demo), and more. 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 playlist & full-featured audio tracks. Click removal & volume ramping to avoid pops. Imports *.WAV, *.MP3, *.REX, *.SYN (SimSynth 1 & 2), *.DS (DrumSynth) etc. as sample formats. Exports audio to 16Bit or 32Bit *.WAV file, *.MP3.
	Easy MIDI remote controlling of most parameters (VST plugins supported as well). Imports MIDI sequences and controller events. Can export MIDI notes & controller events to a standard MIDI file.
