ENVIRONMENT SETTINGS

General Settings

The General Settings page contains miscellaneous options and settings of the working environment in FruityLoops.

• Skin - Lets you choose a skin for FruityLoops.

System:

• Associate FLP files - Associates FruityLoops loop files with FruityLoops (so they will be opened by FruityLoops when double-clicked).

Miscellaneous:

• Auto Channel Naming - Automatically assigns a suitable name to the channels. If it's a Sampler, it takes the name of the sample it contains, else the channels take the name of the generator. If a name repeats with the name of another channel, FruityLoops will put a number after the name (for example - "Kick", "Kick #1", "Kick #2" etc.).
• Auto Empty Channel Zipping - FruityLoops will automatically zip all empty channels and unzip all non-empty channels when switching between patterns. Empty is considered a pattern that does not contain active notes and notes in the Piano Roll.
• Auto Scroll Long Patterns - If the Step Sequencer is not resized so the whole pattern fits inside, turning this option on will make FruityLoops automatically scroll the view, so the playing position is always visible.
• Visual Feedback in Step Sequencer - When turned on, the Step Sequencer note buttons will blink when played.
• Ultrasmooth Visual Feedback - When turned on, FruityLoops will update the playing position indicators smoothly.
• Use Both Mouse Buttons - If this is unchecked, left mouse click both sets on and off dots in the Step Sequencer. If turned on, left-click turns a dot on, while right-click turns it off.
• Don't Limit Windows to Screen - This option is designated for users with multiple monitor PC configurations. It should be turned off on single monitor PC-s.
• Startup Splash Screen - If turned off, FruityLoops will not show its splash screen on startup.
• No Directories in Sample Browser - When turned on, directories will not show in the Browser. All files will appear as being in one big folder instead.
• Fast Sample Preview - When turned on, FruityLoops will not preload the entire sample before playing it (useful for big samples).
• Peak Meters in DB - This option switches to DB format for the FruityLoops peak meters (when the pointer is over the peak meter), as opposed to showing the volume like a percent value (0-100%).
