You can drag and drop samples, instruments or effects into the step sequencer (or mixer for effects), or load them directly by middle-clicking the mouse on the item you want to load after you’ve selected the channel in the step sequencer or effect slot in the mixer rack. This is useful for balancing the volume between your sample previews and your project by adjusting the fader on the mixer track it is being playing through. I have mine playing through track 2 in the example below. Each sample will be played through the mixer track selected in your audio settings. The left arrow will close the folder, while the right arrow will open the folder or preview your sample. The up and down arrows will change the selection.

You can quickly navigate through the browser folders with the directional arrows on your keyboard. Your added folders will be highlighted green in the browser. Simply, click the folder icon under the Browser Extra Search Folders section and locate the folder you would like to add. There you will have the option to add additional folders into your browser. If so, go to Options and select the File Settings tab. Sometimes, you might have important folders in various locations on your computer. For those who have large sample libraries, it’s important to keep everything organized. The most common use of the browser in FL Studio is to add drum samples into the Step Sequencer.
