FL STUDIO 20.5 introduces FLEX – An advanced ‘production focused’ synthesizer with instant epic sounds that allow you to stay in-the-zone making music. FLEX is free with all FL STUDIO editions. Plus, as usual, there are lots of workflow enhancements for your favorite DAW…all because we love your Lifetime Free Updates.

FLEX is a preset-based synthesizer driven by an advanced synthesis engine capable of Subtractive, Wavetable, Multisample, FM & AM based synthesis. The 8 Macros control custom synthesis targets, for each patch, and allow you to focus on what’s most important: making music.
