Fruit Kick is what?
- A simple kick drum synthesizer.
- -A kick drum sound is synthesized by taking a simple waveform, sine wave, with a fast opening volume envelope and a quickly falling initial pitch.
FL STUDIO Fruit Kick
MAX Knob
-Start sweep frequency (MAX) - Defines the start frequency of the kick sound
FL STUDIO Fruit Kick
MIN Knob
End frequency (MIN) - Defines the “sweep to” (end) frequency.
FL STUDIO Fruit Kick
DECAY Knob
Sweep time (DEC) - Defines the pitch sweep time (i.e. pitch decay).
FL STUDIO Fruit Kick
AMP DECAY Knob
Amplitude decay (A. DEC) - The amplitude (volume) decay length.
FL STUDIO Fruit Kick
CLICK Knob
Click (CLICK) - Adds phase offset to the kick sound to produce a click. Turn right for louder click.

What is Fruity Granulizer?
- Fruity Granulizer is a sample based plugin that utilizes the granular synthesis.
- -The source material for the Granulizer is a wave sample loaded by the user.
- –Granular synthesis splits a wave sample into many small pieces (grains) that are looped/played-back according to the settings of the generator.
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Grains Section
ATTACK
- Sets the attack and decay length of each grain (i.e. fade in/fade out time).
- -The time is added (twice - fade in and fade out) to the length of the grain.
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Grains Section
HOLD
-Length each grain is held before moving onto the next.
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Grains Section
GR. SPACING
- Grain spacing in playback.
- -Turn to right for greater spacing between played grains (slower playback).
- –Turn left for smaller spacing (faster playback).
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Grains Section
WAVE SPACING
- This basically controls the number of grains generated from the wave sample.
- -This value ranges from -300% to 300%.
- –For normal playback, set both Grain Spacing and Wave Spacing to 100%.
- —Small values mean more grains are used for the wave (smaller wave spacing).
- —-Using negative values results in reversed playback of the grains.
- —–NOTES: Grain playback order is reversed, not the sound contained in each grain.
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Effects Section
PAN
- Odd vs even grains are panned left and right respectively.
- Higher values (turn right), to increase panning. To disable the effect, turn the knob maximum to left.
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Effects Section
DEPTH
- Amplitude of the LFO applied to the wave spacing value.
- Turn to right to increase the amplitude. To turn the LFO off, turn the knob maximum to left.
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Effects Section
SPEED
-Speed of the LFO applied to the wave spacing value. Turning to right makes the LFO faster, turning left, slower.
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Effects Section
RAND
-Randomizes grain (order) playback. Turn the knob to right to increase the effect. To disable the effect, turn it maximum to left.
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Transients Section
- The Granulizer plugin is aware of transients
- -When a grain crosses a transient, it’s aligned to it & is set a new user-defined length.
- –This gives better quality when stretching certain material, like drum-loops.
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Transients Section
HOLD
-Sets the length or transient grains.
FL STUDIO

-While pressed, the playing position won’t change. It has the same effect as if the wave spacing setting is set to 0% for a moment.
FL STUDIO
Fruity Granulizer, Time Section
KEY TO
-Maps keys to several different properties: Key to pitch: maps keys to pitch (default); Key to percent: keys from C5 to C7 correspond to 0%-100% start position for the sample. For example, to start the sample from the middle, trigger C6 key; Key to step: keys C5 & above offset the sample start with a step (C6 offsets 12 steps, C7 - 24, etc.); Key to transient: keys C5 & above trigger the sample starting from a specific slice.
FL STUDIO

What is Fruity Keyboard Controller?
- Fruity Keyboard Controller generates automation data to control modulation targets (knobs, sliders etc.) from Piano roll or a live MIDI input.
- -MIDI Note or velocity can be used as the modulation source.
FL STUDIO
How to use Fruity Keyboard Controller?
- Load Fruity Keyboard Controller in the Channel Rack.
- -Adjust the plugin as needed
- –Link a target Synth, Effect or interface control to the Note or Velocity from the Link Dialog > ‘Link assignment’ menu.
- —Add trigger notes to a Piano roll and edit their key/note number or velocity to control the target as needed.
FL STUDIO
When Fruity Keyboard Controller is loaded in the project, two options will be available for linking, which are?
- Note - Automation data depends on values assigned to each note via the Note Mapping Controls
- -Velocity - Automation data depends on the note velocity.
