FL Studio 7 is a full featured, open-architecture music creation and production environment. It has 13 virtual synthesizers covering acoustic/synthetic bass, electric guitar and plucked string simulation, sampler tools including piano, general sample playback, and beat-slicing, and a range of synthesis techniques (subtractive, modelling, FM, granular and additive). FL7's Playlist is a totally flexible and virtually unbounded space where Note Pattern, Audio and Automation data can be arranged, and edited to suit your creative ideas and workflow. FL7 also has an industry-leading 64 stereo track mixer - each track can include up to 8 effects and can also be routed to any of the other 64 tracks or one of 4 dedicated send channels. Work with 44 included effects plugins: Compression, Delay, Distortion, EQ, Filtering, Phasing, Flanging, Chorus, Vocoding and Reverb. Registered FL Studio users also receive lifetime free updates: FL Studio 6 customers can download FL Studio 7 free, FL Studio 8 free and so on.
