Newbie to FL studio

[wlfpck]

I was looking for a piano vst plugin ( i think that's what it is.)

I downloaded one by 4f.

I copied the DLL into the plugin folder and I can't get it to show up in FL studio.

I have FL studio XXL 6.

What I do is set a VST-DX folder outside of the FL Studio directory - I recommend anyone else does this as well.

e.g.:
c:\vst-dx\ and
c:\samples\

then all you have to do is set the directories in FL's options. Really easy! And way easier to locate!

don't forget to REFRESH your plugins list.

ok...this might seem like the most retarded question ever... but how do i refresh the plugin list?

how do i set the folder... when i copy the piano vst into the FL studio folder I can access them by using the right click. However I can't find them in the menu to on the left side of the screen

It's only retarded because you didn't try Google first.

"fl studio refresh plugin" (http://www.fruityloops.com/help/html/basics_externalplugins.htm) leads you to your solution.

I know! You need to use "channels>add>"

I can always do the right click but the plugins don't show up in the browser thingy on the left side of the screen.
