11 - The included effects and instruments other than Sytrus.
12 - Friendly customer service.
I disagree about the included FX:
Reverb from Ultrafunk
Phaser and Flanger from SmartElectronix
Blood Overdrive from David Billen
Multiband Compressor from Slim Slow Slider
BeatSlicer from Zero-X
Plus an Envelope Controller, a Granulizer, a Stereo Enhancer, Delay Bank, Flangus, EQUO (frequency pannable EQ), a nice Parametric EQ, WaveShaper, a very nice Vocoder, Reeverb2 (with tempo synced predelay)...

I've already said this in another thread, but as Sony Media Software does it, FLS should have completely customizable shortcut keys for every single operation.

------------------------------
1. Not possible to paste notes in the piano roll at the position of the playback cursor.
2. No auto-chord mode for playing chords with a single MIDI key,especially with the typing keyboard.
3. Only 3 octave presets for the typing keyboard (C3,C4 and C5) and no Keyboard shortcut key to toggle between them.
4. No way to raise / lower velocity of multiple selected notes by equal amount all at once.
5. No way to change volume of all faders at the same time in the step sequencer window. Essential if you like to lower all channels without touching the master fader and when not using the mixer faders at all.
6. There's no way to select all channels on the Step Sequencer with a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+A) ,only possible with a mouse double-click.
7. No keyboard shortcut keys for selecting presets/programs from a VSTi (you must use the mouse and click on the 2 tiny arrows)
8. No step gator,so effects like the gatemask in Tunafish or the gates in Albino2 are not possible.
9. No indication of which VST preset / program is active (no "a" letter in the menu) when selecting presets from the menu. (remember,this is for VST fx,not VSTi) Also no info in the "titlebar" of the VST wrapper window.
10. No mappable transport keys to a gamepad.

If FL Studio only had these features,it would be much more user-friendly and easier to use.
If the're the 10 worst things about it, it must be pretty, damned good.

They have been trying hard for several years to get people to call it FL Studio...some on looptalk have almost become militant about it :hihi:
The highest form of knowledge is empathy, for it requires us to suspend our egos and live in another's world. It requires profound, purpose‐larger‐than‐the‐self kind of understanding.

Here are my top 10:

1. Pattern 1 = Only 1 Pattern (Imageline please take a look at Orion and note how this should be implemented)
2. All channels are visible for each pattern. You can group them to hide some channnels but it still sucks.
3. Audio/Automation tracks are separated from the pattern tracks.
4. Routing of channels to the mixer. Very annoying.
5-10. some little things that I dont care that much about

In other words, when I insert a new instrument this is what should take place:
- A new Pattern/Track created automatically
- This instrument is added to this track automatically
- The instrument is routed to the mixer

Most other hosts do it this way.

Orion would nicely replace FL Studio if it had the following:
- Drum/Step roll
- Automation splines inside of the Arrange window
- Ability to insert WAV inside of the Arrange window

BONES: please notify the right people at Synapse to implement these features in the next release hehehe

Other then that Orion is very nice.
