Waves has released Flow Motion, a new FM-based virtual synthesizer that combines the best elements of frequency modulation and analog-style subtractive synthesis in one instrument and features a 16-step snapshot sequencer, rich presets, and an intuitive graphic interface that makes FM synthesis playful and easy.
The Flow screen eases your way into FM synthesis, with a specially designed graphic FM modulation matrix that connects four mono/polyphonic oscillators with independent waveform and pan controls. You can easily modify assignments between the oscillators, using four independent floating LFO/envelope modulators with intuitive drag-and-drop manipulation. The Motion screen lets you further control filters, amplitude, EQ and FX in a more traditional subtractive way (“traditional” meaning annoying and cumbersome —Ed.).
The 16-step snapshot sequencer enables you to easily capture 16 different states of the synth and switch between them in real time. With 16 recallable snapshots per patch, you can quickly create sequences on the fly and in the flow.
