The all-new FLEX
The all-new FLEX – rebuilt from the ground up
FL Studio’s most popular plugin has been rebuilt from the ground up. The new FLEX focuses on speed and simplicity. An expansive new browser makes it easier to explore, while streamlined controls focus on the essentials for dialing in your sound.
With an all-new factory library included, there’s more to start with right away. Open a preset, shape it your way, and keep the idea moving.
- Built different – Quicker to load and lighter on CPU. The new FLEX engine is built to keep up with your ideas.
- Find your sound – Browse and load pro-quality presets instantly from the new Library page, while the new Store page helps you find fresh inspiration.
- New FLEX, new library – Every FL Studio user now has access to over 200 new presets across 8 new Core Series packs – all built on the new FLEX engine, and all available for free.
Save to the cloud. Never lose a project again.
FL Cloud Project Backup
Save your projects to FL Cloud right inside FL Studio. Keep your projects safe, and if you move to a new computer or hit a problem, your work is already backed up.

Loop Starter and FL Cloud: Roll with more sounds
Loop Starter + expanded FL Cloud library
Loop Starter is great for sparking inspiration. Now you can unlock a much larger Loop Starter library when you’re subscribed to FL Cloud.
Start with a genre, roll the dice, and instantly get fresh stacks of loops and one-shots that fit together. With many more sounds available, it gets even easier to find a unique vibe and build from there.
New plugin: Transmitter
Transmitter – Transient & Sustain Splitter
Split any signal into Transient and Sustain components, letting you shape the attack and body of your sound independently. Route each component to its own Mixer track for precise control over drums, percussion, plucks, and anything else where the hit and the tail deserve separate treatment.
Available in the All Plugins Edition.
Let Gopher handle it
Gopher – Hands-on assistance built in
Gopher already gives you answers to your production questions. Now it can get hands-on.
Gopher can organize tracks, set levels, route audio, and even generate Piano Roll and VFX scripts on demand. Ask in your native language, and Gopher handles the rest. No data collection of your work, no training models — just help when you need it.
Instant chord detection
Chord Panel with real-time detection
The Chord Panel now detects notes and chords directly in the Piano Roll. Stay in key, understand your ideas faster, and try new progressions without guessing. Just activate it in your toolbar.
Plus more workflow improvements
- Remix a Song tool – Easily remix songs by starting with the correct BPM and stem separation.
- Luxeverb – Updated with a feed-forward mode and 100 new presets.
- Chord Stamp Tool – Added top-down and bottom-up voice-leading modes for fast inspiration.
- Label Piano Roll notes – Rename notes in the Piano Roll to create visual cues for melodic changes.
- Audio Clip Gain Controls – Bring clips to a consistent level easily. Apply to a single clip or a full selection.
- Audio Logger – Keeps the last 60 seconds of your Master output ready to recover at any time. If you play something great without recording, it’s still there.
