Fruity Loops, now known as FL Studio, is a nifty little (well the old versions were little...the latest version is over 200 MB :) music sequencer.
Can't play the drums?, violin? trumpet, saxophone? OK you get the drift..Fruity Loops can play them all for you, literally!
In a nutshell Fruity Loops enables you to place prerecorded music samples of instruments, vocals, sound effects or any part of a recorded tune in the sequence of your choice within a time line. Then you can simply play it back in any order or fashion you want and also add smart effects to the playback.
At first fruity loops will seem scary to a new user, there are so many features and options. As you would expect at looking at a DJ turntable which has so many buttons and sliders, Fruity Loops is no different, but once you get the hang of it (Fruity Loops includes decent documentation) you will be creating awesome music in no time.
Fruity Loops was born in 1997 by its original creator Didier Dambrin. Fruity Loops Version 1.0 was literally a drum machine :) It then underwent a series of upgrades before it became FL Studio, an all powerful, feature rich music sequencer where you can literally produce the sound of an orchestra!
Then you have Red 40, and a host of other artificial colours. BHT, or Butylated hydroxytoluene is a petroleum-based antioxidant used for freshness, but once again, the UK version manages to mysteriously not need it. It is possible that the natural colours (such as the carotene in the orange loops) are doing double duty, as they have strong antioxidant properties themselves.
Just bought 5 Cartons as I miss my froot loops (i only ever lived in NY for 3 years but got hooked on them) I happen to have one small individual american version in the pantry which I smuggled of the last cruise ship I was on and can tell you that SADLY the British version tastes absolutely vile. It not only looks different (probably less food colors) but it tastes not fruity and also rather salty. In this case i say give me the American version anytime!
on taste the US fruit loops wins hands down, UK ones are to crunchy seem to have very little taste at all. I got back from Florida a few weeks ago and bought some back with me and when i seen Tesco selling them i bought a few boxes and they are nothing a like in appearance taste or texture.
Ableton Live, another popular DAW, is known for its real-time performance capabilities and its ability to create and manipulate loops on the fly. Live also includes a range of features that make it ideal for electronic music production, such as its Session View, which allows users to trigger and manipulate loops and clips in real time.

Turn the oven temperature down to 250 degrees F, and place the baking sheet back in the center of the oven to dry out (and become crisp) for about 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet. The loops will crisp further as they cool.
Hi, Anneke,
I agree that would be interesting. I hope someone decides to do the analysis (not me!). ;)
Seriously, the Cinnamon Toast Crunch guys are so good I could eat those every single day and never get tired of them. These little loops are a close second for me. I foresee your breaking down and making those at some point. Resistance is futile!
