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 Set Channel Name - 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 Zip Empty Channels - 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.
• 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.
• Auto maximize window - If turned on, the Step Sequencer will be automatically resized when adding new channels, so all channels fit in the window.
• Stop at Screen Bottom - Doesn't allow the Step Sequencer to go out of the screen. This option is especially useful when working with large amount of channels.
• 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.
