No longer available.

Fruityloops is a new kind of music program, with a sophisticated pattern-based sequencer, an arsenal of software-based synthesizers, and a full set of high-quality effects built-in. This book, along with the tutorial examples on the companion CD-Rom, takes you step by step through creating your own sounds, beats, and songs in Fruityloops. If you want to get started making techno, dance, drum `n' bass, or other electronic styles, you've just found the perfect solution.' to 'This hardly qualifies as a book at all, and it's now 14 years out of date. FL Studio, as the software is now called, is still a wonderful music production program, but nobody on Earth is likely to find this ancient, moldering how-to booklet of any value.'
