I like just how huuuuuuge your playlist fields are, and mine barely even cover four lines (except for Mio/Homura). D:

Hey, it's actually a little fault of mine! I wish I could make "simpler" pieces. Sometimes simple can be enjoyable and elegant, but every time I try and make something without overloading it with a million and one instruments, it just sounds too plain and boring; I can't quite pull it off. So I'm doomed to making tracks with all the instruments I can throw in, and needless to say my CPU and RAM aren't happy with that either!
What I normally do is stuff all the instruments into one pattern (say, Pattern 1 = Intro, Pattern 2 = Verse 1, etc., etc.). Much of it is because I have a hard time grouping instruments together on FL, but it seems to be the easiest I've ever done. And so the playlist editor only covers the patterns (with all the instruments stuffed into them), and the envelopes.
Ah I see! Yeah my self-diagnosed OCD orders me to do one instrument per pattern strictly or else my brain explodes or something. x_x
I wouldn't call it a fault or so, it's just the comfortable way to work. And no doubt, it's been working well. ^_^
Well, at least it makes my project files look like pretty fruit salads :3.

Good track. I don't have time to give it a shot though x_x. Despite it being summer I am packed with work to do.

Stephan, have you thought about looking into VST instrument called Oatmeal. I suggest that you do when available.

Looks interesting! Ever since I got Omnisphere I've been admittedly in the mindset that I don't ever need any other synthesiser ever, but I guess that isn't a healthy mindset, especially when it's free! I have no excuse haha.
I'll look into it.
