You got or downloaded Vst’s from a third-party company, and don’t know the steps to import them in Fl Studio? This is the right path for you, keep reading.

Inside my VST folder I have a 32bit folder and a 64bit folder and install VST's accordingly. I just point FL towards this VST folder as it's extra directory to scan and it finds everything in all the subdirectories fine, including all the 32 and 64 bit versions of the same plugins, although I admit the names are doubled and I have to find out.

1. The plugin folder by the way should be located by default in.PluginsVST in the FL installation folder for 32bit and.Program FilesCommon FilesVST2 for 64bit. It was in a folder in program files, and i was putting into an FL studio folder on my desktop.
2. I’m seeing lot of people asking how to install VST plugins into FL Studio so here’s a short guide showing you how to do it. First of all, you need to have a folder for all your VST plugins somewhere in your hard drive (default is under C:Program Files). If you dont have one, create it and name it to ‘VSTplugins’.

In this guide, I am going to show you how to add a Vst plugin that is not part of the content or stock Vst’s that comes loaded with Fl Studio 12.

Fl Studio uses a format for these sounds called Vst or Virtual Studio Instrument. That means if you are purchasing or downloading a Vst plugin, you need to make sure you are being provided Vst formatted instruments.

Create A Custom Vst Folder

Let’s quickly get to adding Vst instrument in Fl Studio

1) Before importing Vsts, there are few things to do;

i) Create a custom Vst folder On your desktop(you can create it anywhere if you know what you are doing, if you don’t know, then follow me along).

Vst’s Own Installer

ii) Run the Vsts own installer, it should be included with your package e.g kontakt.exe, Spire.msi, when running Vsts own installer you should be asked to select the install location during the process. Select the folder you created.

iii)For plugins without installer, copy the files including the .dll(e.g Guitar mik.dll) file to the folder you created.

Note i) If you downloaded a Vst plugin that requires extraction (e.g Nexus.rar that contains only .dll), just extract them to the custom folder and make sure they are in .dll, if it is not in .dll, open the folder that came along with the file and you should see .dll extension in the folder.

ii) If you downloaded a Vst plugin with own installer that requires extraction (e.g Nexus.rar that contains an EXE format), extract the file > run the installer and when asked to select the install location, select the folder you created.

Download 7zip extractor if you don’t have one, it is completely free.

Point Your Custom Folder Location Into Fl Studio

2) The next stage is to point your custom folder location into Fl Studio plugins folder.

Open Fl Studio 12, move your mouse or your pointer cursor to the left menu, select “Options”

> Select File(“File is located at the Options header”)

> Find plugins (it is below backup), select the directory where your Vst plugins are located(choose the custom folder you created) and click on “OK”, it will automatically scan the plugins in the folder you created, you will see the newly installed Vst in your plugin database with a yellow color.

Adding Newly Installed Vst To The Database

3) The last step is to add our newly installed Vst to the database, Fl Studio has two option for storing your Vsts, either you are installing an Effect for your mixer track (i.e Wave compressor) or Instrument(Called Generator) i.e Piano classic, Nexus, etc.

Drag the newly Vst you imported, which is highlighted in yellow color to the step sequencer

Goto the plugin database at the left menu > select generator, open the folder which suite the Vst, I am installing a synth and I will be selecting the synth classic folder.

Open the Vst > select plugin option > select add to plugin database and select ok, your plugin will automatically pop up in the synth classic folder.

Note: The same steps are the way you’ll install your effect, use the mixer track instead of using the channel rack for effect, Goto the plugin database at the left menu > select effect instead of generator, open the folder which suite the Vst, Open the Vst in your mixer track > select plugin option > select add to plugin database and select ok, your plugin will automatically pop up in the preferred folder of the effects database.

So you are wondering how to install kontakt 5 in fl studio?

Well let me show how to do that in 5 basic steps:

1. Make sure Kontakt 5 is installed locally
2. Open the plugin manager in FL studio
3. Set up the search folder for Kontakt 5
4. Scan the plugin list
5. Locate kontakt 5 in the plugin list

Plus I’ll show you a bonus step of how to set it up so that Kontakt is easily accessible.

Let’s do it!

Step One – Make sure you have installed Kontakt 5 from Native Access Application

When you open up the Native Access application, you get to see which apps have been installed locally on your system. So check to make sure that Kontakt has been installed locally on your machine.

Once you confirm that click on the Kontakt icon. This will open up a side panel on the right side of your screen that shows a couple of tabs. Click on the second tab, which is the installation path. Make a note of where the 64 bit VST installation path is at.

You will have to remember this path for step three.

Step Two: Open up the plugin manager in fl studio

So now that you have confirmed that kontakt is installed on your machine, and you have copied the path address for the 64 bit VST, open up FL Studio.

To access the Plugin Manager, right click on the Plugin Database menu item on the left side of your screen in Fl studio. Then select the Manage Plugins option. This will bring up the plugin manager window.

NOTES: If you don’t see the menu on the left side of the window, press Alt+F8.

Step Three – Setup the search folder for FL Studio

So now that we have the FL Studio Plugin Manager window open, let’s set up the search path for FL Studio to find Kontakt.

Click on the folder icon in the Plugin Search Paths Menu.

Then you want to navigate to the folder you found earlier from the Native Access application.

Once you have navigated to the 64bit VST folder for Kontakt, click okay.

Step Four – Scan the plugin list again

So now that we’ve told FL Studio where to look for the new Kontakt plugin, we have to get make FL Studio scan all the folders again to find the new ones.

Click the Find Plugins button in the top left of the plugin manager window.

/best-free-woodwind-vst.html. This process will take a while, so be patient.

When it gets done, you should see Native Instruments Kontakt show up as a new plugin. You’ll know it’s new because the text will be in yellow on the right side of the window as you scroll down.

Once you have confirmed that FL Studio has now located the new plugin, you can close the Plugin Manager window.

Click on it.

Then click on Installed.

Now you should see NEW as an option.

Locate the Kontakt plugin from this list.

Drag the kontakt plugin into the channel rack.

And now you have installed Kontakt in FL Studio.
