*WARNING: DirectWave will not import the above formats if they have been encrypted/protected. Encryption is sometimes used by vendors to prevent non-native import of program files (they want you to buy their sampler) so check with the vendor they are not encrypyted/locked to a given sampler if you are planning to purchase any of these formats for use with DirectWave and/or test out the demo of DirectWave to see if it works BEFORE you buy it.

Limited DirectWave Player version is included for free in all versions of FL Studio
Attention: in the FL Studio demo you can switch between DirectWave Player and DirectWave full to test the program
