Download Manager

A number of plugins in FL Studio have the ability to download samples, banks or presets direct from Image-Lines Sample Fusion website. In particular FPC and Direct Wave will open the Download Manager when the 'Download more presets' (FPC) and 'Select presets' (Direct Wave) 'down arrow' menus are accessed. In each case the Download Manager will automatically open with a list of content compatible with the plugin that activated the manager.

Alternatively, you can open the Download Manager from the Windows 'Start' menu, Start > FL Studio 6 > Download manager. Do this to access the options menu (see below), without starting a download session.

Browser Window

The Browser Window shows the files available for download in a directory tree structure. The files shown will automatically match the instrument that launched the Download Manager. The directory tree is divided into two main categories:

• Downloaded - The files that have already been downloaded.
• Samplefusion - Files on Samplefusion yet to be downloaded.

To open a category click on the + button in front of the name. To start a download select a file and click on the Download button or double-click directly on the file name. Note that the availability of content will fall into one of 4 color coded categories -

Options

• None - Completely collapse the browser tree.
• Cat (Categories) - Show browser categories.
• All - Show all categories and files available for download.
• Download - Select file and left-click the download button OR directly double-click the file.
• Refresh - refresh the browser tree from the latest Image-Line on-line data.

Download Window

Once a file has been set to download, the Download Window will appear (also accessible from Start > FL Studio 6 > Download manager), as shown below. The files will be saved to the default file location for the plugin that activated the Download Manager and be available from the FL Studio Browser. The lower part of the Download Window will display a list of any recently downloaded files in gray. You can queue files for downloading by continuing to select new files in the Browser Window, these will show at the top of the list in black.
