FL Studio 20.8.1

Changes

Piano roll menu – Moved piano roll Helper options to View menu as it is more logical for new and forgetful users 🙂
Parametric EQ 2 – Added context aware type-in value support for Frequency and Gain controls. For example you can type 2000 for 2000 Hz or -6 for -6 dB.
Granulizer – Added context aware type-in value support. For example type in 50 instead of 0.5 to set a control to 50%.
Maximus – Added Monitor Input selector option in the Settings Menu for band visualization.
PanOMatic – Internal modulation (LFO) now previews on the XY control display.
Keyboard Controller – Preview keyboard Keys light up when notes are active.
ZGE Visualizer – Added an option to pre-load audio, to allow videos with audio playback.
Performance monitor – New filter option to focus on a specific plugin. Also can now be opened by double-clicking the CPU Panel.
Keyboard Shortcut Keys – Changed ‘Paste value’ in some menus from ‘p’ to ‘v’. Check the menu hints.
Mixer – Increased the maximum width of the Mixer so all tracks can be shown without having to scroll. Assuming your monitor/s are wide enough.
Touch keyboard – The maximum width of the Touch Keyboard now depends on the key size.
Diagnostic – Includes information about the number and resolution of computer screens in use.
MIDI scripting – Allow selection of next and previous plugin presets. channels.selectOneChannel now scrolls to the selected Channel.

New functions:
Screen functions: removeTextLine and addMeter. getLastPeakVol returns last peak value.
Channels function getActivityLevel to show Channel activity.
Patterns function burnLoop. Optional parameter to channels.showCSForm to allow closing a window.
