Sytrus

The Sytrus synth complements DirectWave perfectly: while DirectWave is optimized for realistic sounds, Sytrus specializes in rich but synthetic FM and analog timbres and propulsive rhythmic patterns. Additive synthesis and plucked-string tones are also part of the package. Sytrus gives you a full six-operator FM implementation—it can even load original Yamaha DX7 presets—yet it also has three multimode filters; dozens of looping, multisegment envelope generators; waveshaping; and a distinctive arpeggiator.

Tone Job

FL Studio's crisp graphics give it a strong and visceral presence on your computer screen; you feel like you're piloting a well-designed spaceship. But that wouldn't matter if the program's sound weren't world-class. Above all, music made in FL Studio will jump out of the speakers and amaze your listeners. So what are you waiting for? Jet over to www.flstudio.com and download the demo!

I also highly recommend you also check out "Master Class: Sweet Fruit, Strange Fruit" in the March 2003 issue of Electronic Musician magazine. (The story is available free at www.emusician.com.) Although the tips are for Image-Line's earlier Fruityloops 3.5, many work with FL Studio 6 as well.
