Tutorial - Adding Extra Plug-Ins To The Plug-In Picker/Browser

Skill Level Needed: Novice/Moderate

The following video and text walkthrough applies to Fruity Loop Studio 8 XXL Producer's Ed.




Start by opening to VST you want to add to the Plug-In Picker/Browser in FL Studios. Now in your browser scroll down to "Plugin Database". Depending on whether your VST is an effect or generator click the appropriate folder. Now you have to choose what type of effect or generator your new VST is. All the different types are listed inside the folder you clicked on. In each catagory of generator/effect there are multiple sub-catagories you can choose to have your VST labeled under, OR you can simply have it labeled under the main catagory.

Once you locate and open the folder where you want the new VST to be incorperated in to click on the top left arrow next to the header "Fruity Wrapper". NOT the arrow next to actual VST name. Now click "Add to plugin database" in that drop down menu and your done! You have successfully added your new VST to your Browser AND Plug-In Picker.

This is an extremely basic tutorial for very new users to FL Studios.

Using the plug-in picker makes writing music in FL Studios a lot faster then adding the new channel manually from the "Channels" drop down menu at the top of the screen. The plug-in picker will also display a thumbnail of each plug-in registered in FL Studio's database. To open the plug-in picker simply type "Ctrl + F8" on your keyboard, or you can also click on the "View" dropdown menu at the top and then click "Plug-In Picker". To exit the Plug-In Picker hit "Esc" on your keyboard.
