Novation is refreshing its lineup of controllers for FL Studio. If these look familiar to you, it’s because Novation also has very similar controllers for Ableton Live and other DAWs, but because FL Studio is quite different from the rest of the pack, these get different front-panel labels to support its workflow and dedicated custom integrations.
