fruity loops mixer panel

Here's the mixer panel for fruity loops6. I'm very grateful for this particular thingy cos it helps me incorporate the plugin effects that i need to use when i write my music. As you can see there are channel strips on it. It means i can just put the plugins on any channel so that the instruments in my song can use the plugins. But at first i need to select the channel(marked FX) on the Channel Settings panel first before i put the plugin in the mixer channel.
Let's say i've selected the particular instrument (in this case, the boo bass) to channel 1 on the mixer panel. I've decided to use the fruity reverb so i just put the plugin effects there and whola! the boo bass has reverb on it. There are like 8 plugins i can use in each channel but it all depends on the PC. If your Pc sucks, then it wont have the power to use that many plugins. Well, my PC isnt that much of a workhorse either, so i use the send channel on the mixer panel. It helps me share certain plugins with all the instruments i used. Usually, i share the reverb, compressor and some bass enhancers. If you look closely, on the rightmost side of the mixer channel you can see send knobs(1 to 4). Those knobs allows me to send effects on any respective channels i need, and thus, minimising the load on my PC.

Well there are a million things you can do with the mixer channels. As Fruity Loops evolves, i can even plug in my guitar, put Guitar Rig on one of the channels, set the audio in and record directly into fruity loops. Neat.
