Overview

FM, made approachable.

Flow Motion is an FM synthesiser with virtual analog processing behind it, built so FM can be programmed deliberately rather than by trial and error. A graphic modulation matrix shows what is modulating what, and assignments between the four oscillators are made by dragging, each oscillator having independent waveform control. An analog filter, VCA and four envelope and LFO modulators shape the result. A 16-step sequencer holds up to 16 recallable snapshots per patch, and over 1,000 presets are included.
