Steps to follow
- Create your Portal account.
Open Portal and select Create an account. Verify your email, set your password, then sign in. Already have an account? Use the same email as your Fractal Sounds purchases.
- Install and open Flash-7.
Choose Flash-7 in Instruments and select Install to try free. Save your work and close your DAW when prompted. Reopen it and load Flash-7 on an instrument track. On Mac, you can also use the standalone app.
- Start your 21 days.
Connect your account in Flash-7 if prompted, then select Start 21 day trial. Once activation finishes, play a MIDI note or try a preset. An existing license or active trial is recovered when you sign in.
The trial is available once per eligible account and machine. Connect to the internet for activation and regular license checks. Downloading again does not restart an expired trial.
A FEW DETAILS
Before your first note.
Will Portal remember my sign-in?
Portal asks you to sign in each time you open it. Select Remember this device on the sign-in screen if you want to stay signed in on your own computer. The checkbox is off by default and your password is never stored.
Already have an account or a license?
Use the same email as your Fractal Sounds purchases. Your existing license takes priority. If your trial is still active, you continue with its remaining time.
Flash-7 does not appear in my DAW.
Restart your DAW after installation and rescan its plugins. Flash-7 is an instrument, so look under instruments rather than audio effects. Mac users can use Audio Unit or VST3; Windows users use VST3.
What happens after 21 days?
Flash-7 stops producing audio until you activate a license. Your saved presets and projects remain yours. Open Flash-7 and check your license after purchasing.
