Olbaid you are an absolute God man, I use your Harmor presets as well, they are honestly the best. Thank you so much for your contribution to the FL Studio community man, it's really appreciated! 😍
In this video I show you Flex - The brand new, free stock plugin synthesizer in FL Studio 20.2. It is an incredible tool for music production and in this video I give you a complete beginner to advanced guide of the plugin and showcase a few of it's sounds.
Brother, I need help buying a budget midi keyboard. Which one do you prefer.. I was personally looking for Arturia 25 key Mini Mk one. I need every aspect of a midi in it. Will it be suitable!!
I just happened to stumble upon Flex, while searching for something else. I played around with and love it. Watching this tute made me love it more. You're the best. Keep it up!
I always think from where you get such deep knowledge about everything, sometimes it seems like you have designed these plugins and FL studio. lol 😆 I learnt a lot from your videos. Thank You! Lots of Love from India 🙏
You're amazing Sir, you really are. I am planning on soon re-mastering one of my favourite songs and I'm following your footsteps like crazy, I really like that you show all the small features that a person that is not so familiar with DAW softwares might completely be unaware of. Good Job, you deserve to be way ahead of the other "beginner friendly" RUclips channels that get recommended to us.
those string preset sound bomb. I was gonna say when I first got FL20 I expected there to be more sampled instruments like horns, pianos, woodwinds, and strings built in (coming from reason I had everything)
Your tutorials are THE BEST. Flex is an amazing plugin they've released a handful of new packs and I agree it's a game changer for FL competing with Nexus and Kontakt
FLEX is the lighter version of NEXUS. Because NEXUS need more storage space on your pc. But FLEX is free and lighter on your storage space. I Love both Of THEM. 🤗🤗🤗 more power to FL and to you Mike.
Damn dude! Like it ! Like the way u do it, with soft voice, not overdoing, explanation is perfect with no "water" if u know what im talking about ! Subscribed :)
Woah this is mind blowing. Just came back from Coachella and am so motivated to create awesome music. And you helping me. This is gonna help so much!! Thanks to FL and you
5:39 do you mean it the other way around, so the way a normal spectrogram would look? I doubt IL would just mirror the spectrogram for no apparent reason
Hey michael , I wanted to tell you that you're content is really valuable and fun to watch and learn every time, It opens your mind and it's inspiring to sit down and relax and listen to other producers talk and what not :D, Please keep it going!
I've been using flex for about 4 days and this is 100% better serum.Finally fl studio created something good so there's no need to rely on different plugins that you don't find in fl studio.
Thank you. My mind was blown when I first saw it. I can't wait until the official version is released - I'll have to make a whole new FL Studio tutorial because this is big news :)
@ that still doesn't making any sense. There's regular and silent startup. You can change colors of all the instruments channels mixer chanels and beat maker buttons but you can't physically change the color of the entire theme. It was taken out since fl studio 11
Sorry for necroing a thread for a 5 year old video, but I was scratching my head wondering why I couldn't edit anything properly, but now you've pointed out it's basically a rompler, that makes more sense. I thought there was an advanced window I was missing, but no.
@@inthemix xD Seriously! Now for the beta version - would I have to uninstall my current FL Studio, or will everything go automatically? I just reinstalled everything yesterday XDDD
@@Windklang705 I put a few notes in the description. You should not remove or uninstall your current version, The beta will install along side it but I would recommend backing up important projects and saving things in different folders. that's what I do at least. Just back up your data, don't rush and you'll be just fine. If you hit difficulties message me on IG and I'll help
I've been working with Flex for a couple of days for my new album and it's amazing but, a lot of presets don't work. I'm sure it is something I'm doing wrong. Can someone help? An example is the cello. None of the pianos, strings, natural instruments work. I've also noticed, all of the sliders are grey on the ones that don't work.
I use ableton and I think each daw has its own unique feature. But FL just did a great job with this vst that comes with the daw. I mean the piano roll and edison is already one of the best starting features. This is amazing :)
Thank you for another great tutorial Michael! Can you can show in your next video, how to save adjusted presets and how to create your own? I have samples of my hardware synths that I would like to load too.
Ok at 7:10 I have an issue with the pitch...I would love to just use my midi pitch wheel to use instead of using a plus sign or minus sign? The thing is I also use the 808 bass sounds that I like to use on my beats as a slider...this would solve that issue because to slide your bass to make it sound cool all it is just a pitch slide of actives up or down...can you please respond to this question if its at all possible to use the pitch wheel instead of the plus and minus signs to go up and down the pitch...I would love to use it together at the same time as I play my piano with whatever sounds I choose from Flex. Thanx again..
Really loving the panel locks idea, really simple and useful idea. Another’s great video, thanks for the info. Will be using it a lot, when it comes out in the update.🎹🎶🎼😎🤟
As soon as possible. We are down to a shortlist and it's just a case of giving it some space and making sure we pick the right ones. There were so many great entries that's it's been tough to judge as expected. You guys keep raising the bar :)
Hey! I'm Olbaid, I designed the "Olbaid Compendium" presets. Hope you find them useful and fun to play with. Keep it up with the great tutorials!
Nice! Those presets are on a whole other level. I'm going to make a video closer to the release sharing as many of those sounds as possible :)
@@inthemix Nice! I'll be waiting for that video too, regards
Olbaid you are an absolute God man, I use your Harmor presets as well, they are honestly the best. Thank you so much for your contribution to the FL Studio community man, it's really appreciated! 😍
@@colour_bloo Love to know that! What about my Sytrus presets? They are free too
@@OlbaidMusic I use your Sytrus presets bro, your work is amazing. Where can I download your presets bro for other plugins?
Nexus crack numbers are about to go down lol. This really is a game changer for the FL gang
I think you're absolutely right. Imagine starting on day 1 and having all of these sounds handed to you? What would be the need to hack any plugin :)
@@inthemix exactly :)
I don't think the people using a cracked Nexus are using a legit copy of FL Studio.
@@kris_lx Hahah good point!
@@kris_lx Well I sure know someone who uses a cracked version of Nexus and a legit version of FL studio... You know... A friend of mine... 👀
In this video I show you Flex - The brand new, free stock plugin synthesizer in FL Studio 20.2.

Can I use it in FL Studio 12.4? Haven't updated to 20 and above yet
Will this work for FL 12
It would not be directly available for older versions. But still we can expect an external plugin version of it for old version users. Just hope.
I am looking forward to the release day from FL Studio 20.2 (I wish i could use FL 20.2 and Flex now)!
Wow, this is a really great free VST!
Agreed! FL really out did themselves with this FREE VST
@@bmhater1283 NOOO
I’ve been using the trial for almost a year. Finally bought the producer edition today! Can’t wait to be able save projects haha :) love ur channel
It's such a great feeling
Totally a very different and satisfying feel❤️
can i not save without purchasing FL studios? im on the demo one well trying to be
"Similar to nexus......" I'm sold... I NEED THIS NOW
I just happened to stumble upon Flex, while searching for something else. I played around with and love it. Watching this tute made me love it more. You're the best. Keep it up!
*Weird FLEX but okay!*
Someone had to say it
I've been using it for 2 weeks or so and it is great. Great selection of sounds and just the right level of complexity for a hobbyist like me
Thats great to hear🙌🙌🙌
Im excited to get my hands on this!
I always think from where you get such deep knowledge about everything, sometimes it seems like you have designed these plugins and FL studio. lol 😆 I learnt a lot from your videos. Thank You! Lots of Love from India 🙏
As soon as I saw that UI I got that feeling of:
“oooooooo this is gonna be goooooood”
Dude, this thing is gonna be revolutionary for me, this is awesome
Just downloaded 20.5 and bought all FLEX expansions - Awesome that Image line have brought this out for us!!
WUT ITS FREE!?!?!? I was prepared to pay for it!!! amazing big thanks to Image-Line
You're amazing Sir, you really are. I am planning on soon re-mastering one of my favourite songs and I'm following your footsteps like crazy, I really like that you show all the small features that a person that is not so familiar with DAW softwares might completely be unaware of. Good Job, you deserve to be way ahead of the other "beginner friendly" RUclips channels that get recommended to us.
Literally the best resource on yt for FLS beginners
I just gave the applause to my monitor and speakers... that was weird. Awesome video, awesome plugin
Nice video and nice Plug-In. Image-line has by far the greatest platform support in comparison to any other DAW developer.
I wanna make epic musics with those strings !
So hyped, thank you Mickael :)
No worries, Thanks for all the support on the server too!
also I encourage everybody reading this to download the new beta version of FL, I think the link is in the description
Me too JAJAJAJ 😂😂
Damn! I wish i would have watched this before i spent hours messing around, getting familiar with *flex*
those string preset sound bomb. I was gonna say when I first got FL20 I expected there to be more sampled instruments like horns, pianos, woodwinds, and strings built in (coming from reason I had everything)
It’s pretty much like Nexus and Serum had a baby.
Fun fact: flip reFX and/or Xfer. Hmmm coincidence. I think not
lmao wow how have i never thought of this before
damn
Really dude? No offense but Serum has a LOT more to offer than Flex.
Sascha Ookami yes I know that. But it’s the only way I could include my fun fact lol
@@homecactus Hehe ok.. :D
lol hmmmmm haha, that was a fun fact.
Your tutorials are THE BEST. Flex is an amazing plugin they've released a handful of new packs and I agree it's a game changer for FL competing with Nexus and Kontakt
Can't believe this is free. Especially the strings sound business. IL could easily charge $99 for this.
Dont give them any ideas lol
I agree. For $100 I can find "awesome" strings ensembles elsewhere, again, unless they will add additional patches later on.
Shhh 🤫 keep it down
@@ElijahWitDaSoulnooo let them charge for it lololol😅
FLEX is the lighter version of NEXUS. Because NEXUS need more storage space on your pc. But FLEX is free and lighter on your storage space. I Love both Of THEM. 🤗🤗🤗 more power to FL and to you Mike.
Eventually though, when the number of FLEX presets can compete with that of Nexus, the file size will grow.
Looks and sounds great. This might be the first synth from Image Line that I use in my productions. Thanks for the vid.
Damn dude! Like it ! Like the way u do it, with soft voice, not overdoing, explanation is perfect with no "water" if u know what im talking about ! Subscribed :)
I am SO excited for this. This plugin is a game changer and I cannot wait to use it in my projects!
Amen!
🙌🙌🙌🙌
It really is a game changer! I'll be posting a video when FL 20.2 comes out so stay tuned :)
Woah this is mind blowing. Just came back from Coachella and am so motivated to create awesome music. And you helping me. This is gonna help so much!! Thanks to FL and you
Video says hello and welcome back to you
THOSE STRINGS SOUNDS SO GOOD HOLY CRAP
Thank you for the great news and a very clever idea releasing the video first. Well done mate.
Top work by imageline and the software engineers that created this, awesome sounds, great idea with the resize function
Dude, you are so good at doing tutorials, and good with narrative.
oh boi, i do enjoy those free updates for literally the rest of my life 😁
brother please make a video about 808s .. in details ...❤️
5:39 do you mean it the other way around, so the way a normal spectrogram would look? I doubt IL would just mirror the spectrogram for no apparent reason

I absolutely adored the pad in the beginning
This is going to make almost all producers finally upgrade to fl 20!
I've been using flex for about 4 days and this is 100% better serum.Finally fl studio created something good so there's no need to rely on different plugins that you don't find in fl studio.
I was searching for Nexus thinking it was the only solution, but its way to expensive.. then BAM.. i found this video! Perfect :)
Yet again a great tutorial .... FLEX is a fabulous plugin with a neat interface! With free packs being released this takes it to the next level!🎵🎹
Image-line is definitely making some big moves!
That's amazing you're the best. One of the best tutorial I've ever seen til yet regarding flex
Very happy I bought FL over something else! Quality plugin
Good video man. Keep it up
I didn't even know about this. Im pretty excited for 20.2.
5:51 Apashe - Battle Royale (intro) ???
Dude you are awesome , you always show me something new !!!!!!! I never new about the tags on the lower left Thanx
This is truly a huge leap forward! I agree with you. A must have/use for the future of FL Studio producers to make use of.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
I'd like to send MIDI from FLEX to Scaler 2 but FLEX doesn't have the output settings like let's say my Kontakt instruments :/
Wouldn't have spent so much cash on third party vsts had I known this boy would come into play
In The Mix. You da man!
Whattt?? This is awesome! Can't wait for the update! :) Thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you. My mind was blown when I first saw it. I can't wait until the official version is released - I'll have to make a whole new FL Studio tutorial because this is big news :)
Fl studios worried about having themes for plugins but not the actual DAW
Good point!
Just download some and swap around.
@@aphexon. what do you mean?
@@tasenova2717 customized themes
@ that still doesn't making any sense. There's regular and silent startup. You can change colors of all the instruments channels mixer chanels and beat maker buttons but you can't physically change the color of the entire theme. It was taken out since fl studio 11
I just tried it, and honestly, I really liked it! I'm going to spend - probably - the next six hours exploring it....😂😂
Sorry for necroing a thread for a 5 year old video, but I was scratching my head wondering why I couldn't edit anything properly, but now you've pointed out it's basically a rompler, that makes more sense. I thought there was an advanced window I was missing, but no.
That sounds pretty cool and looks pretty easy to jump into without having to tweak endless bullshit to get a useable sound. I’m excited to try it out.
Cheers, a nice succinct little breakdown, very digestible. Much appreciated, keep it up.
Wow 😲 this plugin is amazing!
Go Fruity!✊ WooHoo! 🥳
FL STUDIO is just so good & unmatched !
OMG I see myself SPAMMING staccato strings all over the place!
^Me every other time I try producing a song

But its best instrumental for me 😂 🎻
I've been working with Flex for a couple of days for my new album and it's amazing but, a lot of presets don't work. I'm sure it is something I'm doing wrong. Can someone help?
An example is the cello. None of the pianos, strings, natural instruments work. I've also noticed, all of the sliders are grey on the ones that don't work.
FLEX is an amazing addition! I love using it, as it's easy to use. and has great ability to work with peak controls e.c.t.
Can't wait to use it! Thanks for the information and the helpful tutorial, Michael👍
Do you know how to make an own patch? Would be awesome. The video is great through. Really love your minimalistic thumbnails and your video cut!
Thanks Mike. I have a much greater understanding of Flex after this clear and concise tutorial :)
when i hear FL Studio FLEX i imagine a very organized colour coded project file with like 240 mixer channels
you are doing good work, cheers to that bro
Thanks man :)
That was really interesting to learn, I really like that, it's definitely a plug-in I need, thanks for sharing.
Nice can't wait to use this plug in!
i'm a big Fan Of SeamlessR for FL Studio Features Explanation, but this time i admit that you Killing it man! thanks a lot.
I'm so excited for this to release
One of most needed plugins for fl fam
Super excited to play with this!
Please do a video on Layering! would love to see you explore that concept.
OMG! I'm so hyped about this! Finally FL gets some GOOD stock plug-ins
Harmor, Sytrus, Sakura: Am I a joke to you?
Harmor and Sakura are great, but I don't want to pay 800 frickin' dollars for FL. And Sytrus is ok but not as good as FLEX
This just confirmed that FL is the best DAW atm
I use ableton and I think each daw has its own unique feature. But FL just did a great job with this vst that comes with the daw. I mean the piano roll and edison is already one of the best starting features. This is amazing :)
Brilliant bro, I'm dead sure your mind ran into a new song after you heard some presets 😄😄😍😍
Yep. About 4!
@@inthemix lol haha 🤣🤣😄😄
Thank you very much for keeping me up to date 😊👌🏻
Holy looks really interesting and I was impressed by that violine 😲👌
It's a game changing synth seriously
Thank you for another great tutorial Michael!

i have a question
What happens when you put the *delay feedback knob all the way to the right*
This looks awesome! Can't wait!
This plug in is responsible for most of the synth sounds on my channel.
perfectly explained, thank you.
it’s gonna be the new sytrus in 5-7 years
Overpowered but no one uses it?
@@Banana-rg9pz accurate. Systems is way too complicated to learn.
How's he pad preset he's using in the beginning called? I tried to figure it out for 15 minutes now but I can't find it
Thanks for yet another useful video! Flex looks and sounds great. Gonna try it immediately!
Really loving the panel locks idea, really simple and useful idea. Another’s great video, thanks for the info. Will be using it a lot, when it comes out in the update.🎹🎶🎼😎🤟
Thanks Mark, I'll be releasing a video when FL 20.2 update comes out so hopefully you'll be the first to know!
Egarly waiting for this master piece of Art
Excellent video, very informative! Going to be updating my FL today to try this out!
When will you announce the result for the Remix competition?
As soon as possible. We are down to a shortlist and it's just a case of giving it some space and making sure we pick the right ones. There were so many great entries that's it's been tough to judge as expected. You guys keep raising the bar :)
Thank you for the quick response and your useful time.
As normal your tutorials are bang on...Respect for that... Big up Image Line for the plugin. I hope they put some Reggae and Dancehall presets....
Thanks David!
Is there anyway to get the plugin without downloading the new beta?
Don't think so
Alot of try make tut about this vst now but cannot explain the way u did....4me thts not really into sound design yet its very good
