Image-Line has announced version 3.3 of Fruityloops, a major update. Started as a drum loop creator, it is evolving into a virtual studio.

FruityLoops offers a full-featured sequencer for creating wav, mp3 or midi/drum loops with internal mixing and advanced MIDI support. Fruityloops can play sample files (wav), generators (Fruityloops soft-synths) or VST/DXi instruments.

NEW FEATURES IN VERSION 3.3

• ASIO support (full version only) To reduce latency, support for ASIO drivers is a must.
• BUZZ Machine & BUZZ Effects support (full version only). Fruityloops v3.3 now plays BUZZ Machines and can use BUZZ Effects. This new features has been developed in close collaboration with Oskari Tammelin, the creator of BUZZ. This feature will expand Fruityloops with over 90 new machines/synthesizers and over 100 effects.

• Parametric Equalizer - A 7-band Parametric Equalizer which allows you to fine tune your sound.
• Delay 2 Fruity Plugin - The Delay 2 plugin is an enhanced version of the fruity delay.
• Stereo Enhancer Plugin - Fruity Stereo Enhancer will expand/contract the stereo image & stereo phase delay.

• Spectroman - Gives you a full spectrum analysis of the channel you apply it on.
• Internal Controller Plugins - To better control Fruityloops, Image-Line has introduced the concept of internal controllers. These controllers can control any wheel or slider. Among these internal controllers are:
• Peak controller Fruity Plugin - Allows you to control one knob by the peak information of any sampler channel.
• X-Y controller Fruity Plugin - Allows to control automation of any two knobs by using this plugin.
