FL users -- Ableton Racks equivalent in FL??

claudedefaren · Post by **claudedefaren** » Thu May 16, 2013 6:21 pm

Yo dudes, I'm strongly considering switching to FL after seeing the latest video on what they added to FL 11. They seem to pay better attention to their customers than Ableton by a longshot. I'm also almost in disbelief that they basically included their own version of Melodyne in the FL software for free?! Crazy. (newtone)

However, one of the biggest things I like about Ableton are the racks. Instrument racks and effect racks, and the macro knobs on them. Is there an equivalent to this in FL? I NEED those. Can't live without them.

I hope I don't get yelled at, but FL's patcher has potential to poop on instrument racks; Especially with the update for it in FL 11.
It works the same way racks do, but with better visualization

Thanks man, I think I'll demo it and give the Patcher a look!

Patcher in FL 11 is no doubt the equivalent to ALS racks. Their exactly the same, the only difference is the set up and overall appearance.

FL doesn't really require macros. While there is an x/y controller you can use as an FX insert, any parametre in FL can be linked to any automation clip. Same goes for hardware knobs and faders, Although I'd probably link them to an x/y controller first since you can create automation clips from it.
