Updated to FL Studio 20.7 of ImageLine (Explanation of update contents)
I'm yosi, the maintainer of Chillout with Beats.
An update for FL Studio has arrived.
Updates are of course free.
It's really amazing.
It can also be downloaded from the official Top.
At this time, downloads are only from the Forum.
You need to log in with your FL Studio account.
Major updates
New features
- Unlimited MIDI Controller support - MIDI ScriptingAllows you to take deep control of FL Studio from any MIDI controller or remap your existing controller to suit your needs.
- Note envelopes – VFX Envelope for Patcher allows you to continuously change the Velocity, Pitch, and Pan properties of a note.In addition, the pluginPatcherIf hosted on, you can change Mod X and Mod Y for each note.
- Create music videos – The popular ZGameEdior Visualizer Video Generator has been updated with many new exciting visualization and video creation wizards.Choose from a variety of exciting video templates and drag text and other layers through the preview window to move them.
Functional improvement
- Color management – UnlockedPiano roll noteColors and new throughout FL StudioColor selectorincluding.
- Automation (PDC) – Plug-in delay compensation is now applied to automation, and automated FX plug-ins are now kept in sync with input audio from plug-ins that indicate processing latency.For legacy projects, Mixer Menu> PDC> Compensate automations (Mixer menu> PDC> Automation correction) To deselect it.
- MIDI file import – A new "Channel Type" option has been added for opening MIDI files using FLEX.
- Advanced Fill Tool – If the length of the selected sequence is shorter than the current pattern, the channel will automatically loop to fill the remaining space.
- Default template change – Changed the default template to Basic 808 with limiter.
- Shop icon – You can now open the integrated shop panel from toolbar shortcuts.
- Reduced start time – The fastest opening DAW.It's just a little faster.
Improvements to instruments, effects and tools
- Distortion – Distructor has added Mono and Wide modes to the Delay module.
- FLEX – Go-to synths now support pre- and post-preset selection with a MIDI controller with preset change controls.
- FL Studio Mobile – Updated to include cloud backups to make file sharing on mobile devices easier.
- Audio warping – NewTime has received a new edit menu option to change the beat detection method.
Unlimited MIDI Controller support
Those who understand the program will be able to customize the assignment and operation of their MIDI controller.
This will be written in a separate article.
MIDI scripts can be used to natively support any MIDI controller.A script is Python code stored in a plain text file that FL Studio uses to translate commands between the controller and FL Studio.This communication is bidirectional.The controller has access to the features of the FL Studio code (shown below), and FL Studio can send data to the controller (such as lighting pads and track name display).
FL Studio MIDI scripts are based on Python.You don't need to install anything and FL Studio will process the script directly.When the script is created in the following folder, the device that used the script will be displayed in the Controller type menu of the MIDI Settings tab.Select a controller from there and use it normally.
Precautions
Script Hierarchy – FL Studio handles many MIDI functions and messages natively, so write simple scripts to handle specific cases and inputs, and let FL Studio's general-purpose MIDI support do the rest. I can.For example, you don't have to tell FL Studio what to do with MIDI notes.If the script does not specifically change the default behavior, FL Studio will use it normally.
Scripts are complex – the more flexibility and power you have, the more complex it becomes. MIDI scripts are intended for hardware manufacturers and advanced users to create custom support for MIDI controllers.If you are new to programming, MIDI scripts can be confusing and confusing.This is normal, but patience and tenacity are rewarded.The user forum below has a simple example.
I wrote an article.
Note envelopes
VFX Envelope is newly added.
This plugin must be used from Patcher.
By changing the color of the piano roll, you can trigger different envelopes in Patcher and manipulate the parameters.
I think the point of this function is that you can control the parameters of Sytrus and Harmor with XY pads with different envelopes depending on the color-coded MIDI notes with the FL Studio plug-in.
In addition to the XY pad, you can control pitch, velocity, and pan.
I will write a detailed article about this as well.
You can control the cutoff with YX, so you can make it look like the following.
I wrote an article. (Updated from time to time)
Create music videos
Added as a new feature to "Z Game Editor Visualizer".
Using the Wizard function, you can easily create videos that you can share on SNS.
Isn't this in great demand?
Especially on Twitter, you can't upload only the audio.
To use the Wizard function, read "Z Game Editor Visualizer" in the mixer and click the "Wizard" button.
A considerable amount of videos are registered from the beginning.
It also has an export function, so you can output according to YouTube etc.
There is a good chance that it will fall in the environment inside. (Maybe out of memory)
I don't know if I can write an article about this feature.
Color management
Until now, the color settings were very difficult to use, but they have been improved.
All the places where you can specify the color have changed to the new color specification dialog.
You can change it by right-clicking on "Channel Rack" or "Mixer" and selecting "Change coloer".
I'm really happy with the random function. (Dice icon)
Automation (PDC)
It was talked about in many places, but there was a problem that automation was shifted when an effect that generated latency was added.
This time, the countermeasure was taken.
Auto PDC (orange icon) – Use the Plug-in Delay Compensation> Auto option in the Mixer menu.This will automatically update the PDC settings when a plugin delay is detected or changed. If the APDC fails (usually because the plugin is not reporting the latency correctly), you can manually set the PDC (left-click on the PDC icon on the mixer track or as in B above). Use the menu).Manual PDC settings are treated as an offset to the Automatic PDC unless the Automatic PDC is turned off.
Automation compensation – The Plugin delay compensation> Compensate automations can be used to ensure that projects created prior to FL Studio 20.7 play correctly.
MIDI file import
When reading a MIDI file in GM format, it can now be read into FLEX.
Since the GM compatible Library was released to FLEX the other day, it seems that if you specify a tone, it will be read with that tone.
You can select FLEX by dragging and dropping a MIDI file into FL Studio.
When I read an old MIDI file, it was definitely assigned a tone.
Advanced Fill Tool
If the length of the selected sequence is shorter than the current pattern, the channel will automatically loop to fill the remaining space.
The Advanced Fill Tool was certainly implemented at 20.6.
I haven't tried it, but I think that if the length of the sequence is longer than the pattern as shown below, it will be in loop mode without permission. (Actually it worked that way)
Others
It's a fairly small change, so I'll write it lightly.
Default template change
The 808 template now has a limiter.
Shop icon
The number of shop icons has simply increased.
It seems that you can purchase it as it is by clicking it.
It may be easier at the time of sale.
Distortion
It says "Delay module", but I think it's a Chorus mistake.
Mono and Wide modes have been added to the Chorus module.
FLEX
It seems that it corresponds to the preset selection before and after by the MIDI controller with the preset change control.
I haven't tried it because I don't have a MIDI controller that I can try right away.
FL Studio Mobile
Updated to include cloud backups to make file sharing on mobile devices easier.
It's a mobile version, so I'm not sure, but it seems that it's now possible to back up to a cloud service.
Audio warping
NewTime has received a new edit menu option to change the beat detection method.
I think it's probably the following part.
