This is the one that I expect most excites you crazy, synth-and-effects-routing mad scientists who have been pegging your CPU. Multi-core CPU support, multithreaded generator, and multithreaded effects processing.I think that improved performance and editing may be bigger news, however: Vocodex vocoder, the “last word in Vocoders.” (I thought the last word was, “No one needs a vocoder,” but I could be wrong.) Automatic speech enhancement plus up to 100 “variable-width, multi-parameter” bands does give this some interesting twists.

Autogun Derived from the excellent sounds of the Ogun synth, this instrument has “more than four billion presets.” (Wait… what?) I do agree with Image-Line’s description of “rich metallic and shimmering timbres” in Ogun that’s exactly what it sounds like.

FL 9 looks to continue that tradition.Īnd because it’s FL, if you’ve ever bought FL, you get a free lifetime upgrade to this version. But perhaps some of its real draw is that it packs, in its mid-level-and-higher packages, it’s packed with fascinating and unusual sonic toys. Its editing interface is built as much around step sequencers and pattern sequencing as the conventional, mixer and audio-tape-derived views. “Fruity Loops” has long proven that not all music making apps have to look the same way.

We’ll have more shots once we try out the software, of course! Update: Despite discussion in comments, Image-Line assures us this is an image of FL9. See, it’ll look perfect on your 40″ flat screen. Click through for FL’s infamous Giant Screenshot of FL 9.
