FL Studio (formerly FruityLoops) is a digital sound workstation (DAW) and sequencer for writing music. Music is created by recording and mixing audio or MIDI material.
The first version of Fruity Loops was developed for Image-Line by programmer Didier Dumbren (known by his pseudonym "gol"); it was partially released in December 1997. It was officially released in early 1998; at the time, it was a four-channel MIDI drum machine. Dumbren was appointed chief developer of the program, and it soon underwent a series of major improvements that turned it into a popular digital music studio. FL Studio has been upgraded with 10 major releases since its introduction and FL Studio 10 was released in March 2011. Arguru programmer and DJ and composer Joel Tommas Zimmerman, under the alias Deadmau5, contributed to the creation of various editions of FL Studio.
On April 22, 2013, FL Studio 11.0.0 was released. This update brought with it a number of fixes and improvements; as well as changes that had been made to the beta versions of the program.
April 22, 2015 saw the release of version 12 of the program. It completely redesigned the interface, which became vector and scalable. Also, a multi-touch function was added to the mixer and the procedure for installing and searching for VST plug-ins was changed.
The next version of FL Studio followed the twelfth immediately with the 20th number. The main reason for this step is the 20th anniversary of the DAW. Its release took place on May 22, 2018. In this version, Plugin Delay Compensation was improved, the ability to change the musical size throughout the song was added, the ability to work with multiple arrangements in Playlist, the number of tracks in Playlist was increased to 500, and in Mixer - to 125, some features that were available in earlier versions of FL Studio (Step Sequencer Graph Editor, legacy precomputed sampler effects) were returned. Also, starting from version 20, FL Studio officially supported macOS.
It is currently released by Image-Line Software.
