Mar 10, 2006 05:41 pm You mean Fruity Loops? It's a pretty darn good sequencer with some good included sounds for dance/rap/techno music.
There are TONS of free samples availabe on the internet that you can just plug in to your sampling software. You can add effects, EQ, etc. to change the sounds as you please and come up with something original.
The basic version of Fruity Loops is available for download from their website for about $45 or so. But there's no piano roll, so you're stuck with placing all of your sounds on 16th-note intervals, which can be pretty robotic sounding. The step-up version is about $100 and includes not only the piano roll feature, but several others.
Maybe your sequencer is OK, but you just need to find some more samples. Google phrases like "kick sample wav" or "snare sample" and see what all you end up with.
