on the top you see 'channels', click on it, click on 'more' in the second column, then at the bottom of the screen that pops up, simply click refresh.

a tutorial i wrote a while ago ...
Music Tutorial - Installing VST's in Fruity Loops

VST's are plugin instruments and effects.

VST stands for ... Virtual Studio Technology.

They are compatible with many sequencers and applications ie.

FLStudio
Logic
Soundforge
Cubase
Making Waves

For this tutorial we will be looking at FLStudio.

You put them in the Fruity loops plugin folder.

You can find it by looking under ...

c:\program files\flstudio\plugins\vst\
(the path may differ depending on which version you're running)

^^^
This is where you should install any new VST's you find.

There are lots of free VSTs on the internet ... but you should use youtube to look @ producers you like, this will give you a good insight into which effects and instruments they're using.

Once you've got one you want to use install it to your fruity loops VST plugin folder. (as stated above)

After you've installed your new VSTs ...
(To fruity's plugin folder)

Load fruity
Go to the step sequencer (F6)
Click right to add a channel
Go to more
This will load the FL plugin window.
Then click refresh at the bottom.
Your VST should appear in the list. (Shown in red)
Check the box next to the new VST.
Close the FL plugin window.
When you now click right to add a channel your new VST should be available.

nb.
Some VSTs are FX rather than instruments these will need to be added to channels in the FX mixer they will not work in the step sequencer and vice versa instruments will not work in the effects channel.

Have fun producing.
More music tutorials soon.
