FL STUDIO ROCKS!

Main Windows

The FL Studio desktop is based on a number of windows, most of these are movable (with overlap), resizable, zoomable and switchable so if a window isn't visible open it using the Shortcut toolbar (or the function keys as noted in brackets). The main windows involved in FL Studio music creation are - Channels ( F6), Piano roll ( F7). Mixer ( F9) and Playlist ( F5). The Browser ( F8) is used to access audio files & presets from within FL Studio (see the File setting options for adding directories on your PC to the Browser).

Piano roll - enter or record notes & chords Tool Bar Browser - press F10 and select File to add folders Channel window & Step sequencer - enter step-sequences, open instrument interfaces & Piano rolls Playlist - arrange Pattern Clips, Audio Clips & Automation Clips into complete songs Mixer - add effects and record external audio inputs FL Studio
