# FL Studio (FPC)

Kit Maker makes kits for **FPC**, the drum pad sampler that comes with every edition of [FL Studio](/fl-studio-drum-kits/). Each kit is an FPC preset. Pads are colored by category, and every pad gets a matching icon, so a kick pad shows a kick and a snare pad shows a snare (the icon comes from the sample name when [Use Icons from Filenames](/docs/km3-general-preferences/) is on).

**Where the kits go:** Kit Maker saves them in FPC's presets folder inside your Image-Line folder (`FL Studio/Presets/Plugin presets/Generators/FPC`), with the samples saved alongside them. The first time you turn on FL Studio, Kit Maker looks up your Image-Line folder from FL Studio's own settings:

- If your folder is in the usual place (`Documents/Image-Line`), it's set for you.
- If you've moved it, Kit Maker shows you the location it found and uses that.
- If it can't find one, Kit Maker uses `Documents/Image-Line` and tells you. If your Image-Line folder is somewhere else, set it before making kits.

You can change the location at any time in Preferences > [Folder Paths](/docs/km3-folder-paths/), where the row is called **FL Studio (FPC) Image-Line Folder**. It should match the Image-Line data folder set in FL Studio.

**FPC color theme and layout:** the first time you turn on FL Studio, Kit Maker offers a color theme and pad layout that match the classic FPC kit style. You can change either later. The **FL Studio** theme is in the Color Theme dropdown (see [Color Themes](/docs/km3-categories-keywords-colors/#color-themes)), and the **FL Studio** layout is in the Layout dropdown.

**Loading a kit:**

1. In Kit Maker, choose **FL Studio** and click *Make Kits*.
2. In FL Studio, open the FPC kit browser. The kits are labeled and organized by pack.
3. Choose a kit and it loads with its pad colors and icons.

**Banks:** FPC has two banks of 16 pads, and Kit Maker can fill both in one preset. Set this with the **Banks** dropdown on the main screen (see [Banks](/docs/km3-main-screen-settings/#banks)).

**Novation FLkey:** the FLkey keyboards have RGB drum pads. Load an FPC kit and the FLkey's pads light up in the same colors as the kit.
