I explain in more detail that this update is big, so I have divided it into two parts. (I will combine the articles at a later date)

Playlist & Piano roll
On-track recording controls – For audio tracks, it has the same function as the mixer track panel.
It seems to point to the following part.
Selection & Multi-selection – You can now select tracks in your playlist. Use (Ctrl + Up / Down Arrows) to select the track. (Ctrl + Alt + Up / Down Arrow) expands the selection.
You can now select multiple tracks in the playlist.
However, "Ctrl + Alt + Up / Down Arrow" did not work in this home environment.
You can select multiple items in succession by dragging.Alt + Shift + Click to select multiple items, so I think it's not a problem.
Clone Tracks (Right Click) – Use the track header menu to duplicate an existing playlist track.You have the option to duplicate patterns, audio clips, automation, effects (in linked mixer tracks), and grouped playlist tracks.
You can duplicate the selected track (s).
You can duplicate it by selecting it, right-clicking and selecting "Clone".
At that time, you can select the target to be duplicated as an option.
Multi-load – Dropping an instrument preset on a track in multiple selected playlists will add an instance of the plug-in to all selected tacks.When a track is in instrument track mode – Dropping an effect preset on one of multiple selected instrument tracks will add the effect to all selected tracks in that group.
This is a long-awaited feature.
Recently, Relay and summing plugins are outlined.
Until now, I had to load one by one into the mixer I used, which was quite troublesome.
If you select multiple audio tracks or mixers and load the effect, it will be loaded into all the selected mixers.
The point to note is not the mixer, but the flow of dragging and dropping the plug-in you want to select and assign on the playlist.
Make unique Clips – When using "Make unique" with a playlist selected and a large number of clips selected, a warning is now displayed.Is it really good? [Y] [N] is displayed.
This didn't work well in my environment.
Even if I selected the clip to wear and "Make unique", only one was duplicated.
Merge Clips – Now works with all selected clip types.
Previously, there were clips that could not be merged, such as automation clips, but from this version all clips can be merged.
ShortcutCtrl + g You can merge with.
Grid contrast – Playlist and piano roll, either "View"-> "Grid Contrast"-> "High", "Medium" or "Low".
You can now change the contrast of the grid.
Updated Instruments
Sampler Channel & Audio Clips – New'Stretch Pro'mode with formant controls.Save to Disc – You can now save long samples on macOS.
Stretch Pro mode has been added to "Sampler" to enable formant control.
Sound Font Player – New SoundFont Player plug-in for 64-bit and macOS (replaces Fruity SoundFont Player).
The SoundFont player is now available in 64bit.
The SoundFont itself is an old format, so it is for those who are looking for old cheap sounds or who want to feel nostalgia.
FLEX – Ability to dump the score to the piano roll for patches containing the score (Pitch panel).
There is a dump button on the "Pitch" panel.
I took a look, but at the moment there seems to be no preset that can be dumped.
It is expected to come out in the future.
FPC -"Use current layout" to prevent the current note layout from changing when you select a new preset.It is on by default.
The setting that the note layout (drum map) set when changing the preset does not change is enabled by default.
Slicer – "Fill gaps" and "Fill gaps alternately" now work on 64-bit Windows and macOS.
"'Fill gaps" and "Alternate fill gaps" can now be used in the 64-bit version of "Slicer".
I haven't used "Slicer" at all recently, but a lot of functions have been added.
If it's a small loop, "Slicer" may be easier to use.
Updated effects
Frequency Shifter – New visualizations (input / output spectrum and oscilloscope).Click the visualization to change it.
An oscilloscope is attached.
ZGame Editor Visualizer – You can now use the built-in audio engine from scripts.
ZGameEditor Visualizer does not work in my environment due to Gravo, so I will omit it.
Updated Tools Updated Tools
New Time – New shift markers Groove and shift controls are now color coordinated with the corresponding markers.
Watch the video for new features. (Headed)
I will write a little more about this in detail.
Patcher – Map tabs are now static workspaces with scrollbars. You can now select the map to pan with (middle click) and it has been replaced by the plugin picker. Use (F8) or the toolbar.A new grid for user size to control snaps We've added a minimap to help you navigate when zooming in.Shortcuts and gesturesPlease refer to.
this is convenient.
Zooming in and out with the mouse wheel is easy and convenient.
Workflow – Press and hold the (Alt) key as you drop the plug-in preset to create an unattached module.If you hold down the (Alt) key when dropping a plug-in preset, it will be added unconnected.Plugins added from the menu are now placed where you click with the mouse.
To PatcherAlt You can now add plugins without wiring by holding down the key and dragging the plugin.
The following videos are added normally in the first half, the second halfAlt Add while holding down the key.
Workflow
Improved Undo – "General Settings> Undo History> Alternate Undo Mode" has been added so that the change list can be moved backwards with (Ctrl + Z). Most changes made in FL Studio can now be undone and redone.Notable undo improvements Loading instrument channels and effect presets Replacing audio files in channels.Mixer track grouping, input selection monitor and latency.Envelope changes Significant improvements in target links addition, editing, deletion and audio recording undo (deleted in order of creation).
Unlike the standard FL Studio Undo, the first Undo is Ctrl + z What is it, but if you want to continue Undo after that, Ctrl + Alt + z It was.
By changing the options, it is the de facto standardCtrl + z You can now go back in history with.
And until now, you couldn't undo deletes or change presets, but now you can undo many actions.
To enable it, click OPTION-> General setting from the menu.
If you enable "Alternate undo mode" in "Undo history", it will be the de facto standard.Ctrl + z You will be able to undo with.
Support for context aware values – In the automation clip, the target recognizes the context. (7 Band EQ, Beepmap, Blood Overdrive, BooBass, Delay 2, Fast Dist, FL Keys, Flangus, FLEX, Fruit Kick, Fruity Send and Tuner, Granulizer, Harmless, Ogun, Panomatic, Stereo Enhancer, Squeeze FX, Wave Shaper, The Enter Value window for the XY Controller and XYZ Controller now identifies the context. When entering the value, add Hz, dB,%, etc. to specify the format.
At the moment, what you see in the Automation Clip Editor looks like the above.
"%" Was displayed on the Playlist as before.
Typing to Piano keyboard – Add octaves, select root notes, add new key signatures.The chord name includes chords with numeric keys.
One of the reasons I personally use FL Studio is "Typing to Piano keyboard," which is a function that produces sound immediately with this PC keyboard. (I think most DAWs have similar features these days)
Until now, it was possible to play a XNUMX-octave sound from a PC keyboard, but by changing the options, it is now possible to change the root note and scale.
You can change it by right-clicking the icon.
Wrapper – Enabled to save .vst preset files for VST3 plugins.
FL Studio can save VST presets on its own, but now it can also be done in VST3 format.
At the moment, you need to save or load from "Setting".
(Maybe it will be possible from "Presets" on the upper right.)
Sample Length – FL Studio now supports samples larger than 32GB when recording, saving, loading and editing in 64-bit length instead of 2-bit.This means a recording time of 44.1 years or more at 32kHz (6-bit float).Which is the first, electricity, disk capacity, your patience?
Supports 64-bit, 2GB and larger audio files.
I think this area is behind other DAWs.
General Settings – You can now choose to name Sharp or Flat when black notes are displayed.If you change languages, warnings are now displayed in multiple languages as needed.
It is now possible to select whether to display the black key with # or ♭ as an option.
Licensing & Unlock – You can download the license update without email and password (after the first unlock).Permanent token. New logout option to return FL Studio to trial mode.
Once unlocked, you can now easily download updates.
You can also "Log out" to return to trial mode.
(Personally, I am very grateful that it can be used for verification)
Global Links Dialog – Renamed "Generic links" to "Global links" throughout the program.Because that is the case.
The name has changed.
News Panel – Clicking on news now brings up a feature-rich pop-out panel (on the right) instead of just a drop-down list.
Until now, it was only text, but now images are also displayed.
It's good because you can easily see if there is a video.
Summary
It was a pain to chase after a lot of pretty nice features were added.
In addition, I will write an article about how to use it in detail.
