Last Spring, Image-Line celebrated the 20th anniversary of its DAW FL Studio by releasing FL Studio 20, a version that included long-awaited compatibility with Mac. Since then, the popular DAW has received some updates such as version 20.1, but the latest one is major.
FL Studio 20.5 introduces a new synth called FLEX, which is a free “preset-based instrument” that comes loaded with sound packs. FLEX is designed to give users instant access to production-ready sounds that can be tweaked using a simplified set of parameters. The idea is to enable producers to spend less time on sound design and more time on making music.
Over 400 free VST plugins and VST instruments to use with FL Studio, Ableton Live, and Pro Tools. Includes Bass, Synths, Pianos, Strings. These are the best FREE VST plugins & Free VST Effect Plugins that you can download online. The FL STUDIO team encourage you to stay safe while we all ride out the CV-19 pandemic. So, we've released a free FLEX pack to help keep you inspired and creative in your home studio. To download SENSE GEMINI MAGNIFICENCE open FLEX and click the download icon next to the library under 'For Download' section.
Users will like the fact that they can save their favorite presets as well as search sounds by tags. They can also buy new packs and will get more to download for free from FL Studio.
