Get to grips with FL Studio’s Fruity Delay 2, Fruity Delay 3 and Delay Bank

Delay has been a common creative effect for production since tape loops were invented in the 1940s, with pioneers Pierre Schaeffer and Karlheinz Stockhausen using them often in their compositions. Now, applying a delay to your sounds is easily done with software delays, such as the trio of delays found in FL Studio: Fruity Delay 2, Fruity Delay 3 and Delay Bank.

In this FL Studio Tips video, Max Venus gives you a brief overview of the three stock delays in FL Studio. You’ll learn the various parameters found in Fruity Delay 2, Fruity Delay 3 and Delay Bank. Max demonstrates the differences in each delay and shows you how to make the most out of their features, such as Fruity Delay 3’s modulation and distortion engines.
