SFLT

SFLT is a new SoundFont player for FL Studio, built from the ground up to deliver excellent SoundFont spec compliance, tight FL integration, and a great user experience.

SFLT is currently in public beta, which means that it may contain bugs, crashes and synthesis errors. Please consider the plugin experimental for the time being. SFLT is a free product, but if you'd like to leave a tip to support development, it's always greatly appreciated!

Features:

• Comprehensive SoundFont 2.01 support
• Linear resampling, for that classic SF Player sound
  • (Also supports Nearest resampling, in case you're into that sort of thing)
• Tight FL Studio integration (slide notes, per-note panning, portamento, etc.)
• Intuitive preset browser with sorting & filtering options
• High performance & low memory footprint
• Doesn't mess up the Mother 3 SoundFont

Known Issues:

• Linked Modulator support is not implemented yet (advanced SF2.01 feature, does not affect most SF2s)
• Modulation Envelope timings may be inaccurate
• Certain Generator configurations are not handled accurately
• Plugin does not yet utilize FL's file seeking to locate SoundFonts when not found in their original location

FAQ:

Can I use this as a VST plugin/outside FL Studio?

No. SFLT is currently only available as a native FL Studio plugin, and won't work with other DAWs. If you'd like there to be a VST or standalone version, let me know!

What versions of FL does SFLT support?

SFLT was built against FL Studio 2024, and aims to be compatible with versions back to FL 11. It comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

When I open the plugin in FL Studio, it says the VST failed to load!

Not a VST! Check the bundled manual for installation instructions.

Can I set SFLT as my default SoundFount player?

To my knowledge, no. FL Studio forces .sf2 files to load in its first-party SoundFont Player (or DirectWave, depending on the version) when dragged onto the Channel Rack.

To mitigate this, SFLT comes with a built-in file browser that you can point to your SoundFont folder and use to load them directly from the plugin.

How is the name SFLT pronounced?

Like "svelte"! The name's a portmanteau of sorts of SF, FL, and T.

The T stands for, uh, Tubular.

I've found a bug!

Let me know and I'll look into it!
