FL Studio 4 is finally out, actually it's already up to v4.1, so if you don't already have it go and grab the demo and see what's new!

FL Studio is based upon the Fruityloops technology, but has had a major update in both looks and features. FL Studio will focus more on becoming the best price/quality virtual studio available on PC today.

With a built-in full-featured sequencer, support for both VSTi & DXi plugins, advanced MIDI, 64-tracks advanced Mixer, Audio Tracks, Wave Editor and included high-quality Sound generators it has become a tempting tool for both the beginning as the advanced music producer.

It can play any sample file (WAV, SimSynth, DrumSynth) or any Fruity/VSTi/DXi/BUZZ sound Generator or Effect you feed it and export your work to WAV, MP3, MIDI or its own Fruity file format. In addition, FL Studio itself can be used as VSTi or DXi plugin into other host applications (Cubase, Logic, Orion,...).

FL Studio will come in three editions: FL Studio Express Edition (previously Fruityloops Pro), FL Studio Fruityloops Edition (previously Fruityloops Full) and FL Studio Producer Edition.
