I've been using Fruity for years. I still use 3.5 so I don't know how the new version handles effects, but probably through DX plugins.. you can find tons on Kazaa I'm guessing. I use Sound Forge to edit my samples and Beatslicer to cut up loops... but that's more for drum n bass and I dunno if you're into breaks. Checked out your track and it's decent, but it kinda sounds like it was made with Fruity if that makes any sense. More layers and build-up would be cool. Sound quality was really good through my speakers. Pretty nice for your first time using the program.
I'm not sure how to exactly bend notes with a sample, but one trick I do to get around the limitation is line up a few notes on the Fruity keyboard so in a 'scale' sorta way it sounds right note-wise. Then, cut the sample off (I forget the name of the option for this - basically not letting it finish once another note is hit), then add some effects to cover the editing tracks... depending on the sample it can work out well. If you're just using the Fruity synth none of this is an issue though.
Another thing I do is double (sometimes triple) the tempo in Fruity of what I want the track to be. That way if you want to have little machine gun snare/hat fills, the option is there... you just spread your beat out more. Oh, and layering kicks and snares for oomph is fun sometimes.
Have you tried Reason at all?
