Music software featuring a modular production environment and a host of exciting features

FL Studio 9 Fruity Edition software is the basic version of FL9, a complete music production environment, representing the culmination of more than 10 years of sustained & focused development. FL9 is designed to be one of the fastest ways to get music from your brain to your speakers. What is FL9?
FL Studio 9 is a full-featured, open architecture, music production software capable of audio recording, composing, sequencing, and mixing, for the creation of professional quality music. The Fruity Loops Studio philosophy is creative freedom, allowing you to route any instrument to any mixer track. Each mixer track can receive audio from any number of instruments, any number of other mixer tracks and a soundcard input. Mixer tracks, in turn, can send audio to any number of other mixer tracks and a soundcard output. You can create sub-mixes, effects chains, or complex mixes. With FL Studio's flexible architecture audio is set free.

It also allows you to free your creative mind. You can choose your preferred workflow, compose using the step-sequencer or piano roll. Create in pattern or track mode, then arrange your ideas in the free palette Playlist. The Playlist presents timeline as a virtual canvas where each Playlist track can simultaneously hold any number of score, audio, and automation events.

Instruments
Make virtually any sound — FL9 includes over 30 software synthesizers covering acoustic/synthetic bass, electric guitar, multi-sampler tools including piano & strings, general sample playback, and beatslicing (with Rex 1 & 2 support). Open plug-in standards — FL Studio supports all PC industry plug-in instrument standards including VSTi (1/2), DXi(1/2), Buzz, and Rewire. This means you can sequence with your favorite plug-ins and applications.

Audio Recording & Editing
Multi-channel audio inputs — With the ability to simultaneously capture all the inputs on your audio interface, Image Line FL Studio 9 has the flexibility to record a single vocalist, guitar, or a full symphony orchestra.

Arranging audio — Audio can be arranged, with complete freedom in the Playlist. Features include the ability to host an unlimited number of audio recordings, time-stretching, pitch-shifting, beat-slicing, cropping, editing, and the rearranging of audio with only a few mouse clicks.

FL Studio supports WAV, MP3, OGG, WavPack, AIFF, and REX audio formats.

Sequencing
Compose and record your musical performances and ideas in a very logical way.

Pattern or track sequencing — You choose, record your musical performances and ideas in the most logical way. FL Studio 9 can simultaneously function as a pattern and track-based sequencer. Reuse patterns as Pattern Clips in the Playlist or record song-length sequences, as desired. Step sequencer or Piano roll — Scoring tools include FL Studio's legendary Step-sequencer, one of the most advanced Piano roll's in any software studio, event and multipoint automation envelopes. FL Studio 9 supports MIDI input, standard controller compatibility, and the ability to simultaneously control multiple instrument channels from separate controllers.

Arranging
FL Studio allows you to do what you want where and when you want.

Determine your own project design — In FL Studio 9, you decide how your project will be laid out. Unlike the competition, FL9's Playlist is a totally flexible and virtually unbounded workspace where Note Pattern, Audio and Automation data can be arranged and edited to suit your creative ideas and preferred workflow.

Mixing & Mastering
FL Studio music software provides all the composition and audio editing tools you need to produce your tracks to high professional standards.

The mixer — FL9 includes a superb 104-track stereo track mixer that is about precision, control, and flexibility. The mixer's tracks each hold up to 8 effects (VST, DX, or FL's proprietary format). To create sub-mixes or mixing chains of almost unlimited complexity, each mixer track can be routed to any other mixer track, one of 4 dedicated send channels and/or the Master track. Sends provide the ability to sidechain inputs to multi-input effects plug-ins. Finally, each of the mixer tracks can be routed to any output on your audio interface.

Effects — What about effects? FL Studio includes plenty of effects spanning maximization, limiting, compression, delay, distortion, equalization (graphic & parametric), filtering, phasing, flanging, chorus, and reverb. These have cover the audio spectrum from creative broad-brush effects, through to the minutia of the mastering process. Open plug-in standards — FL Studio supports all PC industry plug-in effect standards including VST (1/2), DX(1/2), Buzz, and Rewire. This means you can mix with your favorite plug-ins and applications.

  • Quick linking of controls and automation. Simply right click any knob or slider to link it to a (MIDI or internal) controller and automate it.
  • Full expressive control per note control (pitch, volume & panning), and multiple independent note slides which are color-coded in the Piano roll.

    Open Architecture
  • FL Studio is one of the most open virtual music studios currently available. It (natively) hosts:

  • •VST Effects & VSTi Instruments
