automation curves, automation generators with formula based control of links.

• Be hosted in other DAWs as a VST or connected through ReWire.

• Live music performance including video effect visualization.

• Mix and remix audio including apply real-time audio effects including delay, reverb & filtering.

acoustic/synthetic bass, electric guitar, multi-sampler tools including piano & strings, general
sample playback and beat-slicing (With Rex 1 & 2 support).

• Synthesis techniques – span subtractive, modelling, FM, RM, granular and additive. With the

addition of FL SynthMaker you can further create & share your own FL instruments, effects &

MIDI control dashboards without the need to write basic code.

• Open plugin standards – FL Studio supports all PC industry plugin instrument standards

including VST, DX, Buzz and Rewire. This means you can sequence with your favorite plugins

and applications.

• Multi-channel audio inputs – With the ability to simultaneously capture all the inputs on your

audio-interface, FL Studio 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, pitchshifting,

beat-slicing, cropping, editing and the re-arranging of audio with only a few mouse

clicks.

• Pattern or track sequencing – You choose, record your musical performances and ideas in

the most logical way. FL Studio 20 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 supports MIDI input, standard controller compatibility, and the ability to

simultaneously control multiple instrument channels from separate controllers.

• Determine your own project design – In FL20, you decide how your project will be laid out,

including multiple ‘Arrangements’. Unlike the competition, FL20’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.

• The mixer – is about precision, control and flexibility. The mixer’s tracks each hold up to 10

effects (VST 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 or the Master

track. Sends provide the ability to sidechain inputs to multi-input effects plugins. Finally, each

of the mixer tracks can be routed to any output on your audio interface, now that’s flexibility.

• Effects – What about effects? FL Studio includes more than 40 effects spanning maximization,

limiting, compression, delay, distortion, equalization (graphic & parametric), filtering, phasing,

flanging, chorus, vocoding and reverb. These have you covered for the creative broad-brush

effects, through to the minutia of the mastering process.

changes, independently, in both the Playlist and Patterns (Piano rolls). FL Studio’s unique pattern

system enables, simultaneous, multiple Time Signatures at any point in the Playlist.

include; Consolidate Playlist Clip selections, Consolidate Playlist tracks, Render Clips to Audio,

into a single Audio Clip, reduce CPU load by converting real-time synthesis and effects processing

to audio or convert MIDI data to audio for further processing and resynthesis.

• Playlist Arrangements – The Playlist now supports multiple ‘Arrangements’ (Playlists). Each

Arrangement is the complete layout of Audio, Automation and Pattern Clips. Users can now work

with multiple versions of their project saving ideas, sound design and ‘arrangements’.

ground up, to support today’s complex workflows. Manual and Auto-PDC can now co-exist.

compensation, Metronome compensation, Plugin Wrapper custom values remembered per-plugin

and improved PDC controls in the Mixer.

• ‘Legacy’ Precomputed FX – Are back, including; Boost (with or without clipping), EQ, Ring

Modulation, Low Pass filter, Reverb, Stereo Delay and Pogo (Pitch bend). FL Studio 20 welcomes

back tools that crafted the sound of the 2000’s.

• Channel Sampler – Includes two new Sample Start options. Start Offset – Moves the sample

start point and is automatable. Sample Start – trims the sample data to create a new start point,

useful for functions that process the entire sample window.

• Punch in/out – Right-click Time Markers and set them to automate the Master record switch.

You can then work ‘hands-free’ with your instrument and be sure the take is precisely located

and recorded.

• Grouped takes – When loop-recording, multiple takes are grouped and auto-name after the

Mixer track used.

• Consolidate takes – When ‘comping’ your audio takes, use the new Playlist menu ‘Consolidate

playlist selection’ to merge selections into a new Audio Clip.

‘Arrangements’ to start a fresh Playlist, or the ‘View > Hide collapsed grouped tracks’.
