05ÌýFruity Loops
Fruity Loops, like eJay, is a basic program.
It's not as cheap as eJay but it can be used alongside other music production tools.
Fruity Loops aims to emulate the classic, old-school synths and lets you compose your own loops using drum machines and synthesisers.
It can require a bit of work to start with but it doesn't take too long to get going.
There are loads of helpful features like chord generators which help you get underway programming music without the need to know all the theory.
If you've never had experience of synths before, it can be confusing having to deal with oscillators and voltage-controlled filters.
A great way to find out what all the bits do is to turn the knobs and listen to the results - and Fruity Loops' synths are great for that!
You can also import and tweak samples in WAV format, so you can drop breaks and licks from other sources into your tunes.
Best of all, it's well cheap for what it can do. £80 will get you the full version and it'll be a while before you need anything else.
