FlossyFX v2 Beta 1


So one day at work one of the designers showed me FlossyFX v1.5. He asked if it was possible to add a few features like drag and drop samples or keep the application always on top.

Once he said that I thought, "Well I can do that with Adobe's AIR!" So he got me in contact with DJ Autobot from Flosstradamus, the creator of FlossyFX and we got to work.

A few weeks later we now have FlossyFX v2 beta 1! Click on the AIR Badge installer below. Click here to download FlossyFX manually.

Here's what's new:

Thinner
Flossy is now slimmer so that is fits nice while running Serato.

Always on top
One of the most requested features! Now Flossy will always stay on top! No need to alt tab to find it anymore. Just click on the application to activate it!

Drag and Drop
You can drag your mp3 samples from Serato straight on to a key in Flossy!

Multiple Fire
Activate multiple sounds by turning the Multiple fire switch or holding the shift key down!

Save and Load .ffx
Once you have custom samples inside FlossyFX you can save a reference of the files to load in later!

Is this version mac compatible? I have tried to install but the exe is not working.

@DJ SENDER you can only drag .wav and .mp3 files to the beta app right now.

@DJ E DUBBLE this does work on mac, you have to install AIR first then run the .air file or just try the installer badge.

Anyone can hit me up on twitter if you have any quesitons:

Great update, Nice work, thank you so much!

2 possible feature suggestions (i'm an a mac..):
- make a switch for "always on top" feature to optionally turn this off when needed. (if I minimize it to the dock, I will need to use the mouse to get it back on screen)

- make it resizable. So it can use even less screen estate. If resized to minimum, make it 2 lines. mockup: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3122/3087199936_753a3810bc_o.jpg
