New Plugins
– BassDrum – Deep bass drum synth with sample layering. BassDrum was developed due to strong and persistent customer demand for punchy kick drums with powerful bass. Our solution was a hybrid synthesis/sample path to provide unlimited customization options for the perfect kick drum sound.
– GMS (Groove Machine Synth) – Multi-timbral hybrid synth and Groove Machine FX channel. Another highly requested plugin.
– Effector – 12 performance-oriented effects: distortion, lo-fi bit reduction, flanging, phasing, filter (low/high pass), delay, reverb, stereo pan and binaural effect, gating, granulizer, vocal formant, and ring modulation effects. Introduced as a complement to Performance mode, Effector is perfect for use with displays and multi-touch controllers.
– Patcher – Introduced with FL Studio 10 to provide a way to store and recall commonly used effects and plug-in chains. It’s in the new section because Patcher has received vocal effects (VFX) along with a revamp with animated connections and a new user interface, two of many more to come.
– VFX Key Mapper – Lets you creatively transpose, change the key, chord assignment, or remap note inputs, live or via piano roll.
– VFX Color Mapper – Take advantage of FL Studio’s 16 piano roll note colors, traditionally mapped to MIDI channels.
