With Synthmaker 8)

From CDM:

"Fruity Loops, while a long-time underground favorite of PC music makers, seems to be on a roll at the moment. We were lucky enough to get an FL Studio 8 sneak peak with Didier Dambrin, Image-Line's lead programmer — one of the great music software artists. Since our French was nonexistent and his English was limited, the scene was something like this: Didier silently tweaks his way around his software, we squint at the screen, and magical sound awesomeness happens.

"FL Studio 8's feature set will evidently be set free gradually, starting with a beta build called "7.4″ you'll be able to download from the forums. The new features are FL's combination of sublimely powerful tools and oddly superfluous toys. In the toys category: a live audio visualization you can float around your screen. (I'm guessing they'll be fun to look at when you're completely stuck creatively in the middle of a project.) In the sublime category: a new beat slicer that takes Edison several leaps further. Beat slices are MIDI assignable, filters and such are already available, and … well, it's rather hard to describe, but it's all put together in a Fruity way that makes it compelling.

"The other revelation was that the cult-hit SynthMaker VST creation tool is now being licensed by Image-Line for inclusion with FL Studio. It's not clear yet what if anything will be unique to this version, but the combination of FL's tools with custom SynthMaker instruments you've built yourself sounds lovely. It should give you something to muse on while we wait on Ableton and Cycling '74, who are still mum on any product of the partnership they announced last year. No other details yet on FL 8 or FL SynthMaker, but this one's dead center on our radar."

Nobody interested in this one?

interested? yes...news? not really :shrug:
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.

I'm interested.

I've been wanting FL for so long, but never got it. I'll be picking it in the next few months that's for sure.

All the people with the beta have to do, is go to 'about', and they already have 8. :P

"Beat slices are MIDI assignable" sounds like money to me :D..

Sorry, but I'm being thick. How do you use MIDI assignable beat-slicing when Edison is an effect and not a generator?

Post

They've added the ability to trigger the slices from MIDI. Now if its to MIDI also I will freak! How they've done it.. I dont know.. Fuking Voodoo Magic Maun :hihi:

Thanks, but how do you direct MIDI in the Piano Roll to an effect (Edison) in a mixer channel?

Post

SliceX will be an istrument.
To send midi messagges to an effect you can use the midi out generator.

The same way you would with any other VSTi assign the MIDI out to the little number on the instrument..
