AIR XPAND! 2
FL Studio does not allow for native use of VST instruments however, FL Studio has a built-in VST wrapper which does allow for the inclusion of third-party VST instruments. Because of the use of this wrapper, Xpand2! can open and be used in FL Studio, however the VI series series controller will not automatically map to the various functions in Xpand!2. To load Xpand!2 in FL Studio and then manually MIDI map various controls on the VIseries series controller to Hybrid, follow the steps suggested below.

- In the window that opens, locate Xpand and/or Xpand_x64 and click on the box just to left of it to add an F to the box and allow FL Studio to use the plugin. If the plugin name is red, that is because it is the first time the plugin has been scanned and added to the FL Studio plugin list. Close the Select generator plugin window.
- Next, right-click on an instrument and choose Insert > Xpand! 2
- A new instrument insert will be created and the Xpand! 2 interface will open.
