Options Menu

The Options menu contains commands that set various options in FruityLoops.

• MIDI Settings ( F10) - Shows/hides the MIDI Settings window.
• General Settings - Shows/hides the General Settings window.
• Wave Settings - Shows/hides the Wave Settings window.
• Directories - Shows/hides the Directories window.
• Song Settings - Shows/hides the Song Settings window.
• Song Info ( F11) - Shows/hides the Song Info window.
• Enable MIDI Remote Control - When not checked, you will not be able to use MIDI remote control in FruityLoops, but the device 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.
• Enable MIDI Master Sync - If checked, 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 MIDI ( Ctrl+T) - When turned on, you can use your typing keyboard to record notes as you would do with a real MIDI keyboard.
• Metronome ( Shift+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.
• Blend Recorded Notes ( Ctrl+B) - When turned on, notes you record will blend with the already existing ones, otherwise any old notes will be overwritten by the recorded ones.
• Start on Input - When turned on, pressing the Play button will set FruityLoops into waiting mode and the actual playing/recording begins at the moment input data is received (for example, when a key is pressed on the MIDI keyboard).
