How to Make Orchestral Music on Fruity Loops
Digital synthesis technology allows computer software to recreate nearly any sound you can imagine, including the sound of a symphony orchestra. The Fruity Loops Studio digital audio workstation includes the Sytrus synthesizer, which uses six oscillators, or sound generators, to create virtual instruments. If you want to incorporate orchestral sounds into your music productions, load one of Sytrus' orchestral instruments, then program the virtual orchestra using the MIDI piano roll editor.
