In an unexpected US Thanksgiving Day announcement, Image-Line has a new version of FL Studio. Here’s what’s new, including various goodies but, importantly – more scalable UIs and a fix to monitoring settings for solving recording latency issues.
If that last bit sounds familiar, I just wrote up a related fix in Ableton Live 12.1. Some of you wished for improvements in FL Studio, and without comparing directly, there is now a new “low-latency monitoring mode” that Image-Line says will allow real-time accuracy for audio and MIDI recordings. (I’ve asked for clarification, but it sounds promising.)
There’s other nice stuff here, too:
Transporter is a new looper – see the UI, but it’s both a looper and tempo-locked/looping effect.
Image-Line is also working through their UIs adding high-resolution, scalable UIs. DrumPad, Effector, PoiZone, and Sawer all scale up to 8K resolution, and 30 native plugins now have high-def UIs.
You can finally see Ghost Notes from other patterns in Piano Roll. (Uhh… yeah, you do want that.)
The preset packs for FLEX are now also in FL Cloud Pro, if you’re going that route.
Maybe most interesting on the cloud side is, you can now hot-swap loops. I had some fun playing with that using Loopmasters’ plug-in Sounds, so it makes sense here.
They’re introducing this now, I presume, because they wanted to coincide with Black Friday offers, including reductions up to 30% on FL Studio.
There were some delays with this launch and download, but it is official as far as I know now (at least no one revised the embargo time), and the download will be available from this link if it isn’t there already:

Anyway, I’m just going to leave this here (via X):
