Blocks to Clips

October, 2010

If you have used the FL Studio 9.6 Beta you will have noticed the Block Tracks seem to be missing from the Playlist. Well, they are still available from the 'F10 > General Settings > 'Enable legacy pattern blocks' option. However, moving forward the Playlist development will be Clip-tracks only and we won't show them by default. Are we crazy?

This video will help you make the switch from Blocks to Clips, and answer the question - Is there life after Blocks?

We will be adding more features in future to aid the transition, but for now, this video should flatten the learning curve.

Enjoy!

FL Studio 9.6 Beta

The FL Studio 9.6 (beta) 'What's New?' video is out. Also check out the video on transitioning From Blocks to Clips this explains some of the new Playlist features to help people who use Pattern Blocks to move to Pattern Cips.

Notable fixes/changes in FL Studio 9.6

PitCHER (Beta) - Pitch correction and harmonization plugin.
Horizontal zoom - Improved Playlist, Piano roll & Event Editor.
Piano roll - Vertical zoom now possible & notes include properties view.
Note handle - On note selection to rescale length
Piano roll wave-display - Align notes to audio events.
Magic lasso - Circle mouse around Notes or Clips to make a selection.
Autosave / Autobackup - See F10 File options.
Browser Autohide - See the Browser menu options.

Notable fixes/changes in FL Studio 9.5

Larger mixer view & waveform metering - The Mixer View options include 'Wide tracks' and 'Waveforms'.
Individually sizable Playlist tracks - Any or all Playlist tracks can now be resized by dragging on the divider between the name areas. Individual tracks can also be locked at a desired size.
Live Playlist marker types - Playlist markers can be set to Loop, Pause or Skip for innovative live performances.
64 bit plugin support - The Wrapper now automatically detects 64 bit plugins and opens them in 64 Bit 'Bridged' mode.
Improved memory management- Two changes have been made to lower demands on FL Studio's memory allocation.
- 1. 32 & 64 Bit VST plugins can be opened in 'Bridged' mode that runs the plugin and its memory allocation in a separate process.
- 2. Audio Clips & Sampler Channels Keep on disk option now opens the sample in a separate memory allocation.
Improved audio options - ASIO: 'Mix in bufferswitch' and 'Triple buffer' may improve performance with some ASIO drivers. ASIO/Primary Sound: Revised 'Playback tracking' options to help with alignment of visual & recorded events where soundcard problems exist.
Fully automatic PDC - The default for new projects, automatic Plugin Delay Compensation updates the PDC settings when changes are detected.
Piano roll transport control - Editing in the Piano roll while in Song mode will now move the Playlist transport in sync with the Piano roll.
Ctrl+B (Clips & Notes) - Duplicates selection, zoom-range, all (no selection).
Piano roll - Rounded notes view.
Left-Shift resize splits - Works on Clips in the Playlist or notes/chords in the Piano roll.

Enjoy! We did :)
