FL is highly unpredictable when it comes to blocksize handling. All our plugins highly depend on a static blocksize due to the high amount of complexity of the calculations.
We encountered a similar issue lately and found the following workaround in FL12:
frei:raum ist actually also VST3 – it’s simply not copied to the respective folder
– pick the VST freiraum.dll (probably from C:Program FilesSteinbergVSTPlugins) and MOVE it to C:Program FilesCommon FilesVST3
– rename it to freiraum.vst3
– open FL and load an instance of frei:raum – the user interface will open (please do NOT start playback)
– click the ‘Settings’ icon in the top-left corner
– switch to the ‘Processing’ tab
– tick the “Used fixed size buffer” checkbox
– audio should start to flow now
Please also make sure that the overall buffersize is at least 1024 samples!
Further, there’s also a fix from Image-Line taken from their their forum:

1. Open FL Studio.
2. Refer to the ‘Plugin Database > Effects’ folder of your FL Studio Browser.
3. Locate and delete any freiraum entries saved in this location by right-clicking the entry and selecting ‘Delete file…’. If you don’t have a favorite entry for freiraum you can proceed.
4. Download, extract, and launch the attached freiraum.reg file. (http://downloads01.sonible.com/download.php?file=misc/freiraum-FL12-fix.zip)
5. Accept any prompts regarding applying the registry key and values.
6. Restart FL Studio once the keys and values are applied.
7. Navigate to ‘Plugin Database > Installed > Effects > VST’ and load the freiraum plugin entry from this location. Test the plugin.
For those concerned about what the registry file does, it adds a key for ‘freiraum’ under ‘HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREImage-LineSharedPluginsFruity WrapperPluginsVST’ with some predefined Wrapper Settings for the plugin, in particular ‘Use fixed size buffers’ is enabled.

VST (Virtual Studio Technology) is a software plug-in format developed by Steinberg. These plug-ins generally come in one of three types: instruments, audio processors, or midi processors. They are among the most ubiquitous plug-in formats, and are what most people refer to when the term “software plug-in” is discussed. The CC Proximity Pad VST plugin will allow you to control 6 CC's at a time with your mouse. Instructions: - There are 4 colored dots that each represent an assignable CC. There is a blinking.
Audio plugins are meant to run inside so called audio plugin hosts like Cubase, Logic, Pro Tools, Reaper, Studio One, Ableton Live, Fruity Loops, Wavelab, etc.
Installing audio plugins can be a confusing effort, especially without prior experience. They come in many formats and their installation process differs from conventional stand-alone applications.
This article illustrates the installation and registration process in detail, both for Windows and Mac operating systems.
Accessing the Latest Installers
Freeware products can be downloaded directly from the official product pages. Accept the terms and download will begin.
Paid software products come in two variants, the demo edition and the full edition. Demo download links can be directly downloaded from official product pages. These have the restriction of being incapable of recall, our demos generally cannot be registered, only full editions can.
To access the full edition, log into your customer area and download from there. If you’ve installed the demo before, then make sure to install the full edition on top (it overwrites the demo edition).
Installation via Windows Installer (Recommended)
- Download and double click the Setup.exe file.
- Run through the installer, making sure the plugin path is correctly set for your machine (the VST2 directory in particular).
- Launch your host application and run a plugin folder rescan. Some hosts do this automatically.
Manual Installation on Windows (Experienced Users)
Proximity Vst Plugin
- Unpack the “no installer” zip file.
- Copy the binaries you intend to install into your system’s plugin directories (see bottom of this page for a detailed listing).
- Launch your host application and run a plugin folder rescan. Some hosts do this automatically.
macOS Installation
- Double click the “dmg” file.
- Drag and drop the format specific binaries into their appropriate system directories.
(If that doesn’t work on your system, try opening the target folder, and dragging into it instead)
Product Registration
Proximeety Vst Plugins
To register your product, simply launch the plugin in your favorite host. A small banner should appear, asking you to register.
Click this banner, and the product registration page will appear:
This window can also be accessed by clicking the small gear icon in the plugin toolbar and selecting the “registration” page.
There are two registration procedures to choose from:
Proximity Vst Plugin
- Offline Registration
Using a previously downloaded key file, as offered under your library. - Online Registration
Entering your customer username and password, the key will be downloaded and installed automatically.
After successful registration, the banner won’t appear anymore. Time for work and fun!
If it keeps appearing though, then something probably isn’t right with your registration. If in doubt, customer support will sort it out for you.
If you don’t see this banner or the registration page, then you probably have the demo version installed. Make sure to install the full edition instead, as offered under your customer area.
Exporting and Importing User Presets and Preferences
The “Local Data” page allows for viewing, deleting, exporting or importing your personal settings, user-presets and registrations (optional). To access it, click the small gear icon in the toolbar to open the settings window, then select “Local Data”.
