Anyone know why my plugin instruments appear in the browser under Generators but under Effects only FL Native effects are showing, not my plugins. I can only access plugin effects by clicking on the mixer and selecting 'more plugins' which is really clunky - there must be a better way

[_al_]

When you select 'More Plugins', it should bring up the list in a resizable box.
You will notice that there is a star to the left of the plugin's name.
Click that star to highlight it, and it will now be visible in the list when you click on a mixer slot

Thanks yes it did - that's good actually as it means I don't have to clutter the browser up with all plugins, I can just select my favourites

How do I get my user and third party presets to show in the plugin browser as well as the DAW browser? - when I had Sytrus as a plugin these patches would all appear in the plugin but now all I'm seeing are the factory presets in the plugin's browser

Put them into your user library:
< your user library path>\FL Studio\Presets\Plugin presets\Generators\Sytrus\

[aMUSEd]

Thanks but that path or even folder doesn't exist - what I have them in now is '/Users/username/Documents/Image-Line/FL Studio/Presets/Plugin presets' and that is what shows in the main browser but not in the plugins themselves

The most intuitive were the OLD Fruity's... 1.7.6 TS-404 up to 2.7.2 TS-404... Peeps were doing great music in it with simple workflows and FAST!... Was 'OK' up to version 5...

2.5.4 TS-404-





Some present-day FLers trying to use old Fruity's I guess it's too simple to grasp for some-

[aMUSEd]

OK I worked it out by saving a test patch and seeing where it went - it's a bit of both paths (I guess because they are called generators now not plugins) - the correct path should be '/Users/username/Documents/Image-Line/FL Studio/Presets/Plugin presets/Generators/Sytrus'

I'm trying to dispense with those rows of buttons though and just recording directly into the playlist

You can switch from the buttons to the Piano Roll view. Just make sure the button highlighted next to the X is off:

You can hide the Channel Rack altogether but I find it really useful for keeping track of the instruments used in a track. You can click on the empty area to the right of the instrument name and toggle between the Piano Roll and the Playlist.

Thanks - if I do that when I hit record then play to record what I play on the keyboard the notes don't seem to go into the piano roll. They appear if I use the mouse to draw them but I don't want to do that, I just want to record what I play and also not have the song position slider timeout after 5 seconds, I want to record till I decide to stop playing, not have the DAW tell me when to stop.

[aMUSEd]

OK so I have created the simplest possible project - just Sytrus loaded - it's armed and the correct track selected but it still will not record into the piano roll for me even though I can see the notes playing on the vertical keyboard and in the mixer see the audio stream - what am I doing wrong?

recording filter has been set correctly? (right clicking on the record button)
