UPDATE: SAMPLER INSTRUMENT is now a "track" characteristic; it's not broken; it's still there. Now it's drag and drop from the "pool" instead of a "generator", there's a default sampler track characteristic now. Also, any WAV file dragged onto the work area will trigger a sampler track to be initiated (step editor or mixer channel).




Hmm, OK since FL Studio 24 (summer 2024) all of a sudden I can't add any sampler channels. They just do not show up in any lists anywhere. I'm thinking maybe Image-Line has plans to phase it out. Because that is just really wierd. I know they got a lot of built in plugins, but the sampler was the only one I ever really used!

Good thing I got Hydrogen and Reaper. Damn.

I even tried reinstalling and all that and nothing fixed it.

OOPS, I was wrong, see the update at the top of the page.

Turns out that the reliable FL Studio sampler is still there, but they changed it's invocation and category. It's not considered a generator or an instrument nor a VST. It's a track thingy now.

I think these changes showed up in edition #24 .

Ya know in my 12 to 14 years of using FLstudio I have never used it. Don't know why, just doesn't appeal to me I guess. I just always use Edison and drag stuff into the playlist
