This guide is current to Version 5 of FL Studio. If you were the proud owner of one of the FruityLoops 3
versions (good for you!) or FL Studio v4 (even better), then read on to see what's new in this version.
1. FL Studio Name. Since version 4, the name of the product changes to FL Studio. FL Studio contains
all the stuff you know from FruityLoops 3.x and much more!
2. Mixer. The effects window from FruityLoops 3.x is now a full-blown mixer with 64 insert tracks, 4
send tracks, per-track equalizer, balance controls and disk recording. You can also create complex
mixer setups by routing the insert tracks to each other!
3. Playlist. New Piano Roll style showing the correct pattern lengths, supporting live mode pattern
mixing and brand new audio tracks are some of the improvements integrated in the new Playlist
window.
4. Per-Pattern Grid Length. In previous releases, the Step Sequencer had one fixed length for the entire
project. Now you can adjust the sequencing grid for each individual pattern!
5. New in this version …. Check out the new generators and effects in this release! Check out the
WhatsNew.doc in the main FL Studio directory for a brief run down of what else is new
