What's this for?

We are looking for feedback about some of the major changes in workflow that have been made so far. Please try it out and let us know what you think of how it works. We're not really looking for bug reports, at this time. 

What's new so far?

A lot, but here's some of the key new changes so far...

• Browser - The Browser has changed (now with category tabs and the ability to delete content on right-click)
• Channel Menu - The Channel Options Menu has moved from the Toolbar Menus to the Channel rack.
• Channel settings - Have been integrated into the Plugin Wrapper.
• Interface - Vectorial user interface. See Options > General Settings > GUI display.
• Per Channel Swing - The Channel Settings now has a 'swing multiplier' amount.
• Pattern Menu - The Pattern Menu has moved from the Channel rack to the Toolbar Menu and Pattern Selector.
• Piano roll - Piano roll Auto-zoom can now be deselected from Settings > General > Auto zoom in piano roll
• Playlist - Multiple drag and drop for audio files onto Playlist (from a Windows file browser).
• Stepsequencer - Stepsequences are now interchangable with Piano rolls.
• VST Plugins - VST plugin installation has changed.

Disclaimer

This is not a finished version of the program, it's not even a beta version of FL Studio 12. It's a pre-beta, still under construction, so it's likely to change significantly prior to release and projects made in it may not be compatible with the final version.

Cakewalk announces ScratchPad for iPad

Tweak, scratch and stutter loops with new app

Cakewalk, fresh from releasing Sonar X3, have announced the worldwide availability of ScratchPad for iPad from the Apple App Store, the company's first foray into the iPad app market.


Designed for any music-creation enthusiast on the go, loop-based ScratchPad for iOS offers a fun and easy way to create unique compositions for music creation and live performance. Tweak, scratch, and stutter loops anywhere, anytime: Create beats and grooves in seconds by simply dragging and dropping loops from any genre right onto each of nine Expression Pads. Then, manipulate them on the fly through a variety of performance-oriented special effects, including an XY filter pad. Tempos are locked in so loops are never out of sync, and users can record and play back performances directly from the app’s browser.


Suitable for anyone from beginner to seasoned music pro, the app comes loaded with content—but users can also import their own loops via Dropbox for an even more creative experience. ScratchPad can also route to other apps through Audiobus for additional musical possibilities.


“Cakewalk has always been at the forefront of easy-to-use software on the Windows platform,” says Cakewalk President, Michael Hoover. “We’re excited to share our decades of experience and expertise with a brand new community of people using iPads for music creation.”


ScratchPad for iPad is available from the Apple App Store for $7.99£2.99
