Plugin Support Arrives!

FlyLoops can now load VST and AudioUnit plugin effects and instruments. What does that mean? Three things:

1) Guitar Amps/Effects. Live signals can be processed through audio plugins that act as guitar amps, or effects.  Thousands of guitar amps have already been modeled as plugin.  You can now add these to FlyLoops input channels just as if connecting a guitar amp at home.  Best of all, there are plenty of free amps and effects out there, see links below.

2) Turntable effects. You can now apply plugin effects, of which there are millions … free ….. to the FlyLoops turntables. This makes FlyLoops one of two programs to allow effects on turntables (Torq is the other), and the ONLY one that lets you record loops to turntables, freq shift to 64x normal speed, and quantize bpm and freq shifting.

3) FlyLoops now acts as a synth/sampler that loads plugin virtual instruments and will record them as loops along with the other inputs. There are a wide variety of free instruments available on the web (special thanks to 4Front technologies, for allowing me to repackage their piano and bass plugins to include with FlyLoops).

Some links to free VSTs:

www.kvraudio.com – Audio plugin news and links, a massive site with all sorts of new VST releases (free and commercial).

www.vstplanet.com – another great VST list, also very large and searchable for many types of VST effects and instruments.
