- [Ingredients and Motif Favorites](https://docs.getmotif.page/library/ingredients-and-favorites.md): See the samples, MIDI patterns, and plugin presets inside a beat's FL Studio project, preview them, drag them into FL Studio, and star them into Motif Favorites.

- [Visualizer](https://docs.getmotif.page/listening/visualizer.md): Use Motif's audio-reactive visualizer: change scenes, go fullscreen, pop it out into a picture-in-picture window, react to desktop audio, and use compatibility mode.
