In development Preparing for public release. No download is available yet.

RECORDED IN FL STUDIO

Watch collaboration happen.

Two connected FL Studio playlists updating as clips are placed and moved in either instance.
Paused • Recorded demonstration
Development build • FL Studio 25.1.5

Place and move playlist clips in either FL Studio instance. The changes appear automatically in the other.

Recorded with two FL Studio instances on one computer, at the original playback speed.

Free, now and at release. FL Studio on Windows. Powered by SocketJack / Project-Z.
LESS SETUP. MORE MUSIC.

A place for the next idea.

Invite a SocketJack username, open the shared project and create together. Changes arrive as you work.

01 / CONNECT

Your people, in your session.

Invite by SocketJack username. Keep project access until the owner revokes it, and reconnect when your collaborator returns.

02 / CREATE

Edit the workspace live.

Tempo, piano-roll notes, matching plug-in controls and supported playlist placement share automatically. Review competing edits together.

03 / KEEP GOING

Your work has a history.

Shared project snapshots and recovery copies live on the SocketJack server. Choose whether to sync a newer version or make your own variation.

A preview, with a clear boundary.

Live placement has been tested on FL Studio 25.1.5.4976. Support for other versions is being developed. Cropping, source replacement and unsupported clip settings pause sharing. This is not ready for a reliable public release.

Know what works in this build

The current Help screen explains editing limits, reconnecting and recovery. Automation, routing and WAV replacement are still planned.

These original screenshots show offline or reconnecting states, rather than an active live session. The current interface uses the internal name heirowFruityLoops and the Help tab. FruityLoopsCollab is the name for the upcoming public release. Planned capabilities are listed separately below.

WHAT WE'RE BUILDING TOWARD

The whole creative session.

These are planned capabilities, not promises that they already work.

Planned

Complete project collaboration

Broader arrangement editing, automation, routing and plug-in state, with version-specific validation.

Planned

Missing plug-in audio fallback

Keep the session audible with a rendered WAV in the correct playlist position when a collaborator lacks a plug-in.

Planned

A closer remote view

Private, smooth video and audio for collaborators, volume controls and remote playback markers.
