Open Architecture

FL Studio is one of the most open virtual music studios currently available. It (natively) hosts :

VST Effects & VSTi Instruments

ReWire clients

DX Effects & DXi Instruments

Buzz Effects & Instruments

If you want to use your existing sequencer, just plug FL Studio into any host you can find. It works as a multi-out client :

VSTi client

ReWire client

DXi client

FL Studio as a Plugin...

FL Studio can be loaded and used as a VSTi or DXi2 instrument in a compatible host application. For example:

as VSTi in Cubase, Logic, ...

as Rewire client in Sonar, Live, ...

as DXi client in Sonar, ....

In this mode the output is sent to the host and the play/stop events and tempo are synchronized.

Control of FL Studio channels and parameters using MIDI messages is also supported.

You can also send each plugin's output to a separate output, if the host supports VSTi/DXi plugins with multiple outputs.
