FruityNest

    Get FruityNest running

    FruityNest communicates with FL Studio over MIDI. Follow these five steps to connect them.

    1. 1

      Install loopMIDI

      FruityNest talks to FL Studio through MIDI. To make that connection, you need a virtual MIDI driver. We recommend loopMIDI — a free, lightweight tool by Tobias Erichsen.

    2. 2

      Create 4 virtual MIDI devices

      Open loopMIDI and create four ports with these exact names:
      FruityNest Bridge A
      FruityNest Bridge B
      FruityNest Bridge C
      FruityNest Bridge D
    3. 3

      Install FruityNest

      Download and run the FruityNest installer for Windows.
      Follow the prompts — it only takes a moment.

      Bind scripts in FL Studio

      Restart FL Studio on this stage.
      Then assign the FruityNest script to all four Bridge devices in FL Studio's MIDI Settings. Make sure the In and Out port numbers match for each device (e.g. In 1 / Out 1 or In 5 / Out 5), and that each device uses its own unique port number. Be sure to watch the tutorial video for this step.
    5. 5

      Restart FL Studio and FruityNest (don't skip this step - it's important)

      Once everything is configured, fully close both FL Studio and FruityNest, then open them again. This final restart is required for the new MIDI connections to take effect — after that, you're ready to go.
