Channel Settings

The Channel Settings window contains all options that define how a generator sounds. To open it, click the Channel Settings button in the Step Sequencer. The following settings pages are available in this window:

Main Channel Settings

Sampler Settings (SMP)

TS404 Settings (TS404)

Plugin Settings (PLUGIN)

Instrument Settings (INS)

Miscellaneous Settings (MISC)

Function Settings (FUNC)

There is also a menu with additional options you can access by clicking the button at the top left corner of the Channel Settings window (as shown in the picture below).

Channel Settings menu commands:

• Set Name - Select this command to rename a channel. The same can be done by right-clicking the title bar of the Channel Settings window.
• Set Color - Select this command to change the color of a channel. Channel's color is reflected in the channel's title color in the Step Sequencer.
• Save Channel State as - Allows you to save the current channel settings as a preset file. Preset is saved as a FST file. It is recommended that you save your presets in the default location FruityLoops chooses, so they can be properly detected and shown in the list of available presets for the generator.
• Assign Free FX Track - Links the channel to the first empty (without effects) FX track available. This is reflected in the FX selector in the Main Channel Settings. This command will not appear in channels that hold MIDI generator or other generators that do not output wave data (only wave output can be processed by effects). For more information on FX tracks, see Effects Tracks window.
• Interpolate All TS404 Events - Interpolates all TS404 specific channel settings (all contained in the TS404 Channel Settings page). This command will appear only in channels that hold a TS404 generator.
• Save Modified Sample as - Allows you to save the currently loaded sample with all precalc effects applied to it (see Sampler Channels Settings). This command appears only in channels that hold Sampler generator.
• Reload Sample - Use this command to reload samples when they were altered in external applications (wave editors etc.), after FruityLoops was started. This command appears only in channels that hold Sampler generator.
