LYNX

What works the same as FL Studio

• Step-sequencer Channel Rack, Piano Roll, Playlist and Mixer, with the same shortcuts.
• Opens FL Studio projects with their samples, patterns, automation and mixer.
• Rebuilds FL Studio's own plugins, such as 3x Osc, Gross Beat and Fruity Limiter, many of them sounding identical.
• Works with VST3 and CLAP plugins.
• Exports to WAV, FLAC and OGG.

What is missing

• It's an alpha: it opens, plays and exports whole projects, but it can't replace your daily music program yet.
• The Mac app isn't notarized by Apple, so macOS asks for an extra step on first launch.
• FL Studio's encrypted FLEX sound packs don't open.

How to get started

1. Click Download. It opens the LYNX site.
2. On Windows, run the setup file. It installs for your user, without admin rights.
3. If Windows SmartScreen warns you, choose More info and then Run anyway.
4. Open the demo project to hear how it works, or open one of your FL Studio projects.
