Plugins you install through the Splice desktop app need to be scanned by FL Studio’s Plugin Manager before you can use them. This guide applies to FL Studio 26 and earlier versions.
Step 1: Install the plugin from Splice
Open the Splice desktop app, go to the Apps & Plugins tab, and install your plugin.
Step 2: Find where the plugin was installed
macOS
AU:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/ComponentsVST3:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3VST:
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST
Windows

C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3VST2: There’s no default location, and you can choose a custom path during installation. Common choices:
C:\VSTPluginsC:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPluginsC:\Program Files\Common Files\VST2C:\Program Files\Common Files\Steinberg\VST2
Note: Not all plugins will come in each of the above formats.
Step 3: Scan for the plugin in FL Studio
Open FL Studio and go to Options > Manage plugins.
Under Plugin search paths, add the folder from Step 2 if it isn’t already listed.
Click Find installed plugins.
Find your plugin in the list and click the star next to it. This adds it to your favorites so it appears in FL Studio’s Add menus.
Step 4: Open the plugin
Restart FL Studio, then open the plugin from the Plugin Database or the Add menu.
Still not showing up?
Make sure the search path matches the folder the plugin was installed to.
Restart your computer and scan again.
