Fruity Loops 7.0.0 XXL Pro.Edtion + Update + Addon + FiX

FL Studio (formerly Fruity Loops) is a digital audio workstation, developed by Didier Dambrin (also known as 'Gol'), lead programmer of Image-Line Software. Music is created by recording and mixing audio and/or MIDI data together to create a song, which can then be saved to the program's native .FLP (Fruity Loops Project) format. Songs can be exported to a Microsoft WAV or MP3 file compatible with most media players. As the developers like to say, you will be creating wav, mp3 or midi songs or loops only minutes after launching it.
FL Studio is a pattern-based music sequencer, which allows the artist to create songs in pieces (patterns) using the Step Sequencer and the Piano Roll view, then merge those pieces together using the Playlist window. The Effects Panel provides access to a wide range of software effects that can be automated for dynamic sweeps, rolling bass lines and texture changes.
The program is especially well known within the hobbyist music community as a relatively low-cost, user-friendly platform for the creation of hip hop, electronica and dance music, although the complete version contains a sufficient amount of features for handling the production of songs in many different genres.
User interface
The FL Studio user interface comprises 5 main screens:
Step Sequencer - enables quick assembly of drum patterns and short melodic parts.
Piano Roll - a two dimensional grid for composing purposes. The vertical axis represents pitch, and the horizontal axis represents time.
Playlist - allows the arrangement of sets of patterns and audio files for assembling a complete song.
Mixer - used for balancing audio levels, adding effects processors (VST plugins, etc.), and recording audio input.
Sample Browser - allows for quick access of audio samples, plugins, presets, and other FL Studio song files (FLPs).
Features
FL Studio has become widely used by both amateur and professional musicians alike, because of its easy-to-use step sequencer and powerful piano roll editor, good monetary value, wide support of industry standards, extensive automation capabilities, and high-quality effects. One particularly alluring feature of (the online version of) FL Studio is the lifetime free update policy.
As of version 6.0, all of the mixer tracks can be used as Send tracks; multiple MIDI devices can be used.
Instrumental effects include reverb, chorus, flanger and the like. It uses internal 32 bit floating point audio mixing at sampling frequencies of up to 192kHz.
Due to widely variable Piano Roll techniques, drum sequences can be "sliced" and re-arranged to create breakbeat-style rhythms, as well as complex IDM and DnB patterns.
The standard version of FL Studio includes quite a number of generators (software synthesizers). Some of these must be purchased separately. Generally, these additional plugins are inexpensive. The "Producer Edition" includes a mixer and multi-track audio recording capabilities for sound hardware with ASIO drivers. The "FL Studio XXL" offer includes all optional components with a 40% price reduction. FL Studio uses its own extended internal plugin API but it can use VST, Buzz, ReWire and DirectX plugins via special adapter plugins, making it compatible with the vast majority of software synthesizers and effects processors. The demo version is fully functional, with the restriction of not being able to save projects for later work; it does, however allow projects to be exported to WAV or MP3 format. Also, not being able to access full versions of some plug-ins in the program is another restriction when using the demo product.
As of version 7, FL Studio now supports multithreading and multiple-core processors.

Editions of FL Studio
FL Studio is available in three editions, each with a different set of features. Each edition is available for download, and each edition except Express Edition is available, at a higher price, as a boxed set. Additionally, upgrades from one edition to the next are available.
Express Edition - This is the smallest version, and with the most limited selection of features. It is meant to be used more as a drum machine rather than a full-fledged audio production program.
Fruityloops Edition - This is the second version, and is meant to be an "entry level virtual studio", according to the Image-Line store. It is more or less a stripped down version of the Producer Edition. It is included with more plug-ins than Express, but not as many as the Producer Edition.
Producer Edition - It includes the following features: Automation Clips, and an integrated wave editor (replaced by Edison in version 7).
