Ready-to-install, official FL (Fruity Loops) Studio ASIO driver - without FL Studio itself! Driver update: 16/02/2024 - 06.20


Why that?

The generic (in-software) ASIO driver for Windows shipped with FL Studio (the other being ASIO4ALL) is a relatively high-quality, no-frills, non-exclusive-mode ASIO driver only slightly compromising latency for the ability to operate in shared mode. As such, it may be useful whenever live-performance-low latency is not required (e.g. for creative exploration, studio work, mastering... or simply if higher latency is tolerable) and - on the other hand - the ability to use the device in shared-mode is a useful feat (listening to other tracks, VoIP calling, streaming, ...).

Obviously, such use-case goes far beyond the use of FL Studio itself. But unfortunately, though included in the trial version of Fruity Loops and permanently-licensed, it is not possible to (re)install such driver without downloading the installer of, and actually (re)installing, the FL Studio main program.

This project addresses whatever case where such procedure is inconvenient or impossible to perform.

Installation instructions

Just clone the repository and run install.ps1 as an administrator.

Alternatively:

  1. Copy all the files inside the Image-Line\FL Studio ASIO directory somewhere else (to be stored there permanently);
  2. Launch a PowerShell / command prompt with administrator privileges and navigate there;
  3. Execute registerAsioDriver.bat
  4. The repository can be deleted

Uninstallation instructions

Just clone the repository and run uninstall.ps1 as an administrator.

Alternatively:

  1. Launch a PowerShell / command prompt with administrator privileges and navigate in the location where you put all the files inside the Image-Line\FL Studio ASIO directory;
  2. Execute unregisterAsioDriver.bat
  3. The repository can be deleted
