• Sytrus Synthesizer SimSynth Live, a powerful synthesizer
• DrumSynth Live, a drum synthesizer

New Plugins:

• FPC - FL Studio MPC, a new self-contained drum machine plugin, similar to the hardware Akai MPC unit, coded & optimized for the FL Studio platform.
• WaveShaper - Graph based distortion with super sampling. WaveShaper is a wave distortion effect which maps input to output values using flexible spline-based graph.
• VideoPlayer - Synchronized playback of video content inside FL Studio. (XXL Only)

Improved Plugins:

• Granulizer is vastly improved (supports transients, new key-to modes). Granulizer is a generator plugin that utilizes the granular synthesis technology.
• Sytrus adds global envelopes, new curve types and more.
• FL Studio Slicer is improved to support the new slicing engine & time stretching capabilities.
• DrumSynth Live now supports up to 120 patches at once.

New Tools:

• New powerful Arpeggiator tool in piano roll. 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.
• New Drum Flam tool in the Piano Roll.
• Note legato and Articulation tool in the Piano Roll.
• Brush tool added to the Event Editor.

Other New Features:

• New real-time interpolation options for high-quality real-time playback.
• New option to render audio files with note slice markers.
• Tempo tapping added to tempo's right-click menu.
• MP3 files can be loaded into sampler channels and audio clips.
• Added support for Hercules DJ Console (when set in MIDI mode, endless
  knobs, coupled switches, special switches & middle jog work).

Key Features:

• FL Studio Edition & Producer Edition, XXL! both feature:
• 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).
• Ability to function as a VSTi, DXi and a ReWire client.
• Ability to host ReWire clients.
• Open architecture allowing third-party software instruments (enhanced proprietary FL instruments standard, VSTi and DXi2) and effects (enhanced proprietary FL effects standard, VST, VST2 and DirectX).
• Effects: A full set of high-precision mastering and special effects filters: reverb, compressor, procedural equalizer, distortion, phaser, flanger, bass boost, delay line and other.
• Unique note properties morphing ability (pitch, cutoff, resonance, panning).
• Integrated instruments: Sampler, 3xOSC (subsynth), Plucked! (plucked strings), MIDI Out, Scratcher (turntable emulator), WaveTraveller (wave bend synth), and more.
• Advanced playlist
• Realtime linear interpolation & sophisticated interpolation algorithms at rendering time.
• Live recording of control movements & integrated automation events editor.
• Easy MIDI remote controlling of most parameters (VST plugins supported as well).
• Procedural control over parameters by using special controller plugins.
• Click removal & volume ramping to avoid pops.
• Imports *.WAV, *.SYN (SimSynth 1 & 2), *.DS (DrumSynth) files, with effects applied.
• Imports MIDI sequences and controller events.
• Exports audio to 16-Bit or 32-Bit *.WAV file, *.MP3.
• Can export MIDI notes & controller events to a standard MIDI file.
• Internal 32-bit floating point mixing, up to 96kHz stereo.
• Supports DirectSound and ASIO enabled sound cards for audio output.

Key New Features:

• Time-Stretching in Audio Tracks and Sampler
• FL Studio features the high quality ZPlane Elastique time-stretching technology. Tonal, drums, slices and resample time-stretching are available.
• Both the Sampler and FL Audio Clips support this time-stretching (resizing audio clips stretches them in time).
• Automation Clip & Improved Audio Clips
• Brand new Automation Clips added to the Playlist.
• Added option to trim audio clip parts outside playlist selection.
• Load ACID Loops
• Retains ACID Loop markers and allows following of project tempo.
• Improved Recording
• Added loop recording/overdub ability.
• Audio recording can now be undone.
• Right-click arm a Mixer track for a quick default name.
• Ability to leave tracks armed after recording.
• Selecting an ASIO input arms the track automatically.
                        

• Composition/Sequencing – The musical elements are played live via MIDI keyboard or entered manually in the Step Sequencer or Piano Roll (not shown). To the right of each instrument button in the Channel window is either a step-sequencer display (the rows of squares) or a mini-preview of a Piano Roll (green lines). Step Sequencers and Piano Rolls are interchangeable for each Channel, starting as Step Sequencers by default. Step Sequencers and Piano Rolls hold the note data for the instrument they are associated with. Step-sequencer 'steps' are accessed by left-clicking the squares to turn them on or right-clicking to turn them off (great for percussion programming). To open an existing Piano Roll Left-click directly on the mini-preview window. To create a new Piano roll Right-click on the Channel button and select 'Piano roll' from the pop-up menu. The notes from either of these sequencer types drive each instrument with up to 999 unique sequence ‘stacks’, known as ‘patterns’. In the example above, Pattern '1' (the entire Channel window data) consists of two Piano rolls and one Step Sequencer pattern. As you step through the patterns (using the Pattern Selector) the appearance of the channel window will change to reflect the note data associated with each pattern. The length of each pattern is determined by the number of bars covered by the longest note sequence or automation data.
                         

• Arrangement - The next step is to arrange and repeat pattern blocks in the upper Play List window (see above) along with any controller data and audio clips, such as track length vocals (lower Play List window). This pattern arrangement process allows you, for example, to re-use a 2 bar drum loop throughout the song without the need to enter the basic note data into the sequencer over and over. However, FL Studio is not limited to pattern based sequencing: There is nothing to stop you entering an unused pattern block into the Play List and then entering/playing in song-length data (patterns). In this way FL Studio can be used as a 'track based' sequencer, a pattern based sequencer or a combination of the two.
• Mixing - The sound from the Channel instruments is routed through the Mixer where levels are set and Effects (FX) are added, such as reverberation (reverb), chorus and delays. Almost all aspects of the mix are automatable so fader movements and knob changes can become part of the overall performance. The Mixer is also the place where external audio from a microphone, guitar or synthesizer can be recorded along with the internal instruments. The recorded sound is displayed in the lower part of the Play List as an Audio Clip
• Exporting/Rendering - The final mix is exported from FL Studio to .WAV or MP3 file format by selecting the export option from the file menu in a non-real time process called rendering. Please note that if you want to make an Audio CD you need to render 44.1 kHz WAV files. FL Studio does not burn Audio CD's, you will need to use a 3rd party application for that.
