Extra content?

FL Studio box versions include the Generic Sample CD content.


This sample content is included on the same CD-ROM / USB stick as the FL Studio program installer.
No separate medium is needed for this content so there is only 1 CD / USB stick in the box.

You do NOT need to download this extra content.

FL Studio 12 box

Installation instructions provided with the boxed versions of FL Studio 12 are outdated.

How to install the 'extra samples' from the USB  in FL Studio?

  • Install the Samples, starting from the link on the USB thumbdrive menu.
  • Select the option "Install extra samples from USB to:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Image-Line\FL Studio 12\Data\Patches\Packs\Box sample set"

 


The extra sample content is now installed using the FL Studio 12 installer included on your USB thumbdrive. When installing FL Studio you will see an option to install these extra samples, select this option to have the sample content installed automatically.

As an alternative you can copy the 'Samples' folder on your USB thumbdrive to the FL Studio Shared Data folder (...\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\Documents\Image-Line\Data). The samples can then be accessed directly from the FL Studio Browser in the 'IL Shared Data' folder.
