FL Studio 5 "Whats New" By- DJ Coleman

Audio & Automation Tracks
The Playlist window contains a sequence of patterns and audio/automation tracks that form the complete song structure.


Recording Panel

4.Loop Record / Overdub - Enable this option to loop the recorded pattern indefinitely until stop is hit. If a there is a time selection in the Piano Roll that selection wlil be looped instead. This feature allows you to "overdub" content on each loop (for ex. recording the score individually for a channel on each repetition).

GENERATORS

FPC

FPC (FL Pad Controller) is a software plugin similar to the hardware Akai MPC unit, coded & optimized for the FL Studio platform.

FPC is a self-contained drum machine which makes it easy to create, edit and swap drumkits on the fly to tune the sound of the drumloops in your project. FPC supports 16 multi-layered patches per drumkit bank.

The interface is separated into three parts you can display using the tabs on top of the window. In the first tab you can see the main pad properties section which shows/sets the properties of the currently selected pad

Here are some pictures of the FCP in detail





MIXING & EFFECTS

Fruity WaveShaper

Fruity WaveShaper is a wave distortion effect which maps input to output values using flexible spline-based graph.

Fruity Video Player

Fruity Video Player allows you to open and play video files synchronized with your song.

This is a very useful tool for those who need to synchronize a soundtrack with certain video content.

Keep in mind that FL Studio will not export the video you load, and the plugin can be used only for preview purposes. The audio is streamed into FL Studio like any other audio plugin, however to achieve best synchronization and quality for exported audio tracks, it is highly recommended to export the audio as wave file and use it like a regular audio track inside FL Studio.

Piano Roll Arpeggiator

The Piano Roll Arpeggiator tool allows you to apply arpeggio effect to your scores based on fully customizable arpeggio scores and a set of additional options. Unlike the the arpeggiator available in the Time Channel Settings, this is not a real-time effect, however it allows much higher level of customization and control over the results.

Piano Roll Flam

The Piano Roll Flam tool allows you to add "drum flam" effect to your scores. Flamming is essentially adding quick strokes before every note, an effect which is very useful in adjusting percussion performances.

Piano Roll Articulate

The Piano Roll Articulate tool allows you to apply quick portato, staccato and legato layout to your scores.

Event Editor


1. Draw Mode
2. Brush Mode
3. Erase Mode
4. Select Mode
5. Zoom To Selection
6. Interpolate Mode
7. Zoom Time
8. Vertical Zoom
9. Event Graph Area
10. Event Editor Menu Button
The Event Editor allows you to see, edit and save/load recorded events. You may also use it to write directly events without making a recording session.

Sampler Channel Settings (SMP)

The Sampler Channel Settings page holds properties specific for the Sampler generator. It also appears in plugin generators that support custom shapes for their oscillators. In such case, only the sample bank is visible in this tab.
