Set up Proof of Human in FL Studio

A couple of minutes. PoH installs a small script, then in FL's MIDI settings you switch on one “PoH Bridge” device for input and output — and watch it connect.

  1. 01

    Install from the PoH app

    Open Proof of Human and, in the FL Studio setup panel, click Install PoH for FL Studio. That copies a small script into FL's Hardware folder — FL can't see it until you do.

  2. 02

    Open or restart FL Studio

    If FL was already running when you installed, quit and reopen it now. FL only loads new controller scripts at startup, so PoH won't appear until you do.

  3. 03

    Enable the PoH Bridge input

    In FL, open Settings (F10) → MIDI. Under Input, enable “PoH Bridge” and set its Controller type to “PoH”. Note its Port number — you'll match it in the next step. (If you play a MIDI keyboard, you can bind PoH to that input instead, and it'll also witness the notes you play.)

  4. 04

    Enable the PoH Bridge output — same port

    Under Output, enable “PoH Bridge” too and set its Port to the same number as the input. This is the channel PoH captures over — without it, the last step never turns green.

    Enable PoH Bridge under both Input and Output, on the same Port.

How to know it worked

PoH connected — capturing your work

Back in Proof of Human, the FL Studio step turns green — capturing your work. If it still says it's waiting, make sure the PoH Bridge output is enabled on the same port as the input, and give FL a moment after the restart.

Why the extra output step?

FL Studio 2025 doesn't let scripts open a network connection, so PoH talks to its helper over MIDI instead — which needs both a PoH Bridge input and a PoH Bridge output, on the same port. It's one extra toggle, and no cabling or IAC setup. PoH supports FL Studio 20.7 and newer.

FL's scripting can't see piano-roll editing, so an FL record is honestly thinner than a Logic or Ableton one — it witnesses transport, mixing, saves, the step sequencer, and the notes you play. The process record says what wasn't witnessed; it never guesses.

If it doesn't connect

On FL Studio, PoH reads only the shape of your work — counts and timing — and turns it into content-free signals on your Mac. The process record carries those signals plus the project/song and audio display names shown to you — not your stems, notes, track or clip names, or full project path. When you choose a notarized proof, the exact finished export is uploaded and retained under the Privacy Policy; your internal project stays private.
