As the previous review is available on-line ( I'll only give a brief recap of these features before looking in more detail at what has been added. The basic functionality of FL Studio remains the same as before: Generators (software instruments) are used within a pattern-based sequencing environment to create complete arrangements. In order to maintain consistency, FL Studio has started at version 4. SOS reviewed version 3 back in the August 2002 issue, but Image Line are now back with a new release, plenty of new features and a new name for the software: Fruity Loops Studio, or FL Studio. The latest version comes with a new name - FL Studio - as well as some interesting new virtual instruments and proper audio recording features.Īlong with general-purpose MIDI + Audio sequencers such as Cubase and Sonar, more specialised applications such as Reason and Acid Pro have also become very popular, and in dance music circles a firm favourite with many is Fruity Loops. Fruity Loops has built itself quite a cult following in dance music circles.
