Here are the instructions for installing your own VSTs:

  • Get the VST (more info here: What are VSTs and Where to find VSTs) - note that it may be zipped so make sure you can extract the contents (with Winrar or winzip)
  • There are usually two ways your VSTs can be installed


If you get a .dll file

  • Put the .dll file in the VST folder - here is what my directory path looks like
    C://ProgramFiles/Image-line/FL Studio 8/Plugins/VST
  • Open FL Studio
  • Right click your channel window, go to insert or replace, and hit “More…” at the top
  • A new window should open - at the bottom left click “Refresh“, and then “Fast Scan“
  • The new VST(s) should show up in red - check them and then you will be able to see them next time time you try to Insert or Replace a patch.


If you get an Installation file

  • You will usually get instructions to show you the proper way to set up
  • Usually you will just go through the installation, and then follow the same steps above which are:
  • Open FL Studio
  • Right click your channel window, go to insert or replace, and hit “More…” at the top
  • A new window should open - at the bottom left click “Refresh“, and then “Fast Scan“
  • The new VST(s) should show up in red - check them and then you will be able to see them next time time you try to Insert or Replace a patch.
