two huge improvements that had me up till late hours last night: 1. mutiple output support - yes, finally fruityloops can make use of the multiple outputs of my soundcard. now i can use outboard effects in realtime on individual channels and really make use of the eq on my board. 2. fruity runs as a vsti. still trying to get my head round this one. i had fruity as an instrument runnin through cubase. each fruity channel was treated as a separate midi channel in cubase. im new to cubase, so this is gonna take a while to really take advantage of, but the potential seems limitless. oh and the overall performance/stability seems better. i had a multiple vst effects runnin simultaneously that previously would have the cpu meter runnin over 40%, but now stay much lower. cant wait to get home and play some more...
