WAVE EDITOR / RECORDER

Edison

Edison is a fully integrated audio editing and recording tool. Edison loads into an effect slot (in any mixer track) and will then record or play audio from that position. You may load as many instances of Edison as you require in any number of Mixer Tracks or Effects slots. To open Edison press Ctrl+E in a Sampler Channel, or load from the effects menu into mixer track/s.

Memory: Edison operates exclusively in RAM (memory) and is designed for working with samples or small songs, not recording hours of audio. With RAM in mind, edit functions can require 4x the original sample space, so we recommend limiting samples to approximately 1/4 of the free memory. If you don't heed this warning your PC may explode, injuring bystanders - don't say we didn't warn you! Editing operations that require sample processing convert the source sample(s) into 32-bit float and at the sample rate of the highest wave in any group processed. This means that processed wave files are unlikely to be in the same format as the source samples, although you can set the sample format after you have edited the sample (see the sample properties dialog).

Opening Edison

You can open Edison by pressing (Ctrl+E) on any sampler channel or by loading it into a mixer track Effects slot. Note: Edison opens in the preview mixer track unless deliberately placed in an Effects slot.

Exporting Audio

Three alternatives for exporting audio from Edison to FL Studio are:

1. Tools > Sequencing
   • Send to playlist as audio clip (Shift+C) - Dumps the selection to the Playlist as an Audio clip.
   • Send to selected Channel - Dumps the selection to the selected Channel.
2. Drag / copy sample / move selection - Left-click on the button and drag to the desired location. The selected region in the Sample Edit Window (or whole sample if no selection is made) will be copied and moved to any compatible location in FL Studio, e.g. Sampler channels, Fruity Slicer, DirectWave, the Playlist etc. Right-click to copy the selection to the clipboard.

3. Save and load - Saves the audio/selection to a file and re-imports it through the Browser.
