MIXING & EFFECTS

Fruity Formula Controller

Fruity Formula Controller is an internal controller plugin that accepts user-defined formulas. It can be used to control/automate automatable controls in FL Studio. Fruity Formula Controller will appear as an internal controller option in the Link Dialog after it has been added to a mixer slot. As with all internal controllers, the formula output can range from 0 to 1.

Fruity Formula Controller is a controller plugin that accepts user-defined formulas. It can be used to control/automate automatable controls in FL Studio. Fruity Formula Controller will appear as an internal controller option in the Link dialog. As with all internal controllers, the formula output can range from 0 to 1, and uses accurate floating point numbers.

Parameters

A/B/C - These knobs can be used as custom parameters in your formulas. You can access their values via the a, b and c variables (see the list of available objects and functions below).
Out - Displays the current formula value (empty bar is 0, full bar is 1). To see how the formula output develops in time, use the Meter view (see below).
Formula - Type here the formula to be used. Press ENTER key to compile to formula. If the formula is a valid math expression, you will see a message 'Compiled OK' below the formula. Otherwise, you will see an error message explaining where the mistake is.
Compile - An alternative to pressing ENTER in the formula edit box. Click here to compile the formula.
Info - Click INFO to see the formula description (by the author). The text is editable and supports rich text formatting (RFT). You can also paste RFT text from WordPad.
Meter - Click METER to see a graph displaying the formula output in time. This is a very helpful view, especially for programming LFO units.
