TTBOMK, currently, you cannot open FL as a vst in x64 even in beta....very important for some of us

I agree with this also the piano roll integrates really well with a pen tablet which is blessing for reducing RSI from tons of mouse clicks in the editor

As for the topic, yes it's the best at what it does, just a tool as so many have said. And performance mode

Back in my shell now.

Yeah, the piano roll in Fruity is quite awesome!

I bought Fruity a few years back when it was on some kind of crazy sale, but I honestly never really used it!
It's definitely a very deep software and can do a lot of stuff! I just don't really have a use for it.
It's also very difficut to get used to the workflow after using more "traditional" stuff for so many years, but I think it's quite easy to learn for people who aren't used to something else yet.

The lifetime free updates are really cool too! After each update I load it up once and check which cool new toys I just got for free

Sometimes I make a sound or two with the new toys and use them in other stuff, but I really don't do much else with it.

I would definitely sell it if I could, not because it's "bad" or anything, I just don't need it.

Cheers
Dennis

Years ago I tried out Fruity and thought 'finally a sequencer that thinks like I do'..but ultimately I went the route of Orion and Cubase. Then I bought Fruity and could not make heads nor tails out of it, lol. I do fire it up every now and then, but have never finished anything in it. Someday..

wow! one hour really?

if you dont get that the riff machine generates melodies etc. in the piano roll you better stay away from FL Theo!

ps. great feature btw.

And no problem here in Cubase 7 x64.

Yeah it'a bit random, i just disable the steps to work on an existing score but if you go into each step you can edit the controls. I could be wrong but i think chord on default doesn't generate a chord.

Oh, I was completely proficient in logic within hours btw.

after hitting the chord tab the next step would be to select which chord type via the pattern folder just on the same gui (needs a second) - where's the problem?

"as you expect" isn't very fair towards them dont you think?

ps. the best thing is anyway that you always have (on the left upper corner of the screen) a help sentence everywhere you move over with the mouse.

Well let's just say they owe me BIG time anyway, I haven't even scratched the surface of debt. Thanks. (And ps no I won't go into that, anyone can find my topic from 2008 if interested - same problems persist).

maybe they write a personal fl studio for you? "Theo's Edition"?

how they can deal with "what i think" when every individual expect something else? thats not unfair?

or do you think your way doing things is the only best for the rest of us? now, then that make sense.

Yep, you can chalk me up as another FL Studio licensee who also finds it bewildering and counterintuitive, despite my long background in primitive Amiga trackers all the way up through Renoise and just about every other DAW on the market. I can generally get up and running with most any sequencer within 15 minutes or so, but for whatever reason FL's design workflow defies my expectations at almost every turn, save for the initial step sequencer beat window that pops up at launch. I don't doubt that a proficient user can accomplish almost anything with it, but my motivation to rethink so many commonly shared industry conventions has never been strong enough to truly learn FL Studio in-depth.

FL Studio still the top dog!
