The Plugin Manager window will display your current plugin search paths.

Step 2: Verify Plugin Paths

Make sure the following system folders are included in the search paths (Windows):

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3\  (VST3)

If the folder where Safari Plugins installed isn’t listed, click Add path and select it.

Step 3: Rescan Plugins

Go to Options → Manage Plugins.
Under Scan Options, select:

• Rescan Previously Verified Plugins

• Scan Plugins with Errors

Click Start Scan to force a full rescan.

Tip: If a plugin failed to scan previously, enabling these options often fixes the issue.

Tips / Troubleshooting

• If the plugin still doesn’t appear, remove it from the plugin database and rescan.

• Keep only the latest plugin version to avoid conflicts.

• Some FL Studio versions may require additional wrappers if using non-standard formats — check FL Studio documentation.
