TB Flowtones Virtual Analog Synthesizer
Thanks to it's true VA synthesis engine, the use of analog-modelled non-linear filters and extensive modulation options, Flowtones sounds warmer and more analog than digital romplers and wavetable-based synths.
TB Flowtones comes as stand-alone app (with IAA support) as well as AUv3 plugin.
True virtual analog synthesis features:
- 4 VCO architecture (two voice layers with two VCOs each)
- 4 synthesis engine types, in part modelled after famous analog synthesisers
- 36 analog VCO waveforms featuring all classic waveforms and more
- All VCO waveforms support pulse width modulation
- Full stereo and mono unison modes for each VCO independently
- Noise and subharmonic oscillators for each VCO
- Unique ring and self-modulation matrix
- High-quality, warm, non-linear filters (VCF) with over 30 filter types, including unique multi-resonance filters
Modulation features:
- Four LFOs with 30 waveforms each
- LFOs can modulate other LFOs, including themselves!
- Three additional envelope generators, with key velocity modulation
- Quick access to modulation strengths through context menus
- Hundreds of modulation signal paths available
- LFOs can produce noise as waveform to randomly modulate other parameters; for example to simulate slight variations in analog filter parameters as they happen in analog circuits.
Pro-grade effects
- Studio-quality reverb, delay, and chorus effects
- Unique formant filter to add vocal character
- Analog and digital distortion / bit crushing effects
- Master equaliser and peak limiter for final touch
- Non-linear power supply simulation for authentic interaction between notes
Step sequencer
- Fully integrated, intuitive step sequencer
- Can trigger chords and note series / phrases
- Can run asynchronously or synchronously to the host
- Smart copy/paste of note series to improve workflow
- Smart zoom: edit fine details while keeping an overview over the full sequence
Presets and intelligent randomizer
- Flowtones comes with hundreds of presets to spark your creativity
- Intelligent randomizer to explore endless sound synthesis possibilities
What you should know:
- Inter-App Audio (IAA) can only use one instance of this app simultaneously. We recommend to use an AUv3 host to use multiple instances.
- Licenses acquired for this platform are not compatible with other platforms.
- Audio Unit (AUv3) extensions require an iPad mini 2, iPad 4 or later models.

What’s New
- New 'gate' module to provide new means to modulate VCO level, pitch, PWM and some other parameters
- New 'key on delay' feature for all LFOs to delay the start of an LFO after a key-on event
- New N-shot LFO functionality to allow for 1-shot, 2-shot, or arbitrary number of cycles after a key-on event
- New presets using the new gate module

Korg Fan, 18.09.2022One of the best-sounding cross-platform synths you can affordThis synth has amazing potential. The waveforms, oscillator features, ring modulation, filters, and fx are amazing! Even the formant filter so fun to use, and the modulation routings are extensive. Show more

Greg.ni, 21.02.2022??????????????????This app is so awesome & I highly recommend it. Improvement request: You need to make the Black Keys shorter so we can have more space on the white keys Show more
