Flowfal in action

We want as many people as possible to be able to use Flowfal - so we are making it free to download and use. If you find Flowfal useful please consider donating to help support its development.

Apple Watch is now supported as a controller for Flowfal. In this demo the roll is controlling the wavetable position, and the pitch is controlling the frequency modulation amount. #applewatch #abletonlive #flowfal #electonicmusic #wearable #dance #interactive #installation

Version 1.4.1 of Flowfal is now live: - Control signal filtering is much smoother - A new scope display for acceleration, rotation and attitude inputs on all controls - A bug where the start angle could not be greater than the end value for attitude inputs has been fixed

A demo showing Flowfal controlling the Wavetable synth. The movement is coming from a standard Samsung Android watch. - The watch roll is controlling the filter cut-off frequency - The watch pitch is controlling the wavetable position #abletonlive #maxforlive

Using two Samsung Android watches to approximate a Theremin. The roll of the left hand controls the note being played. Raising the left arm adds vibrato. Raising the right arm controls the volume. #abletonlive #maxforlive #theremin #electronicmusic #spooky #wearable

The second breakbeat is always running, but notes from that are only allowed through when there is movement of the phone. This allows you to create lots of different versions of a break in a very musical way. #abletonlive #maxforlive #drumandbass #breakbeat

We now have a Discord server. This will be the main place to get help with using Flowfal, and to promote anything you are making that uses Flowfal. DM us for the Discord invite. #abletonlive #maxforlive #discord #flowfal

Using Fowfal to control a visualizer, the Ganz Graf Mod X plugin. The X and Y rotation are mapped to the Ganz Graf X and Y inputs, rotating the image. The magnitude of phone acceleration is mapped to the Ganz Graf shading type. #abletonlive #maxforlive #visualizer

A short clip of a session run by @PellEnsemble and @thunkist at the DanceEast Youth Festival. The dancers are wearing Flowfal smartwatches that allow them to trigger sounds as they move. Full video in YouTube link in bio.

A clip of me playing Pixel Rash at the Dublin Castle EMOM in London, Nov 2024. The two black wand things I am waving around are Flowfal devices that are triggering two breakbeats - one for each hand - so all the beats you can hear are being triggered live by my movements.

Alysa Chee experimenting with Flowfal in the studio, Nov 2024. Alysa is using a watch running Flowfal on each wrist to trigger the stick sounds on one side and the bass drum on the other, whilst singing. Audio recorded by Ali Kazemi. Full video on YouTube - link in bio.

Very happy to announce that Flowfal is now also available on the Isotonik Studios website as a Free/Pay As You Feel product. Loads of interesting M4L devices on the site. Link in bio! Or check out ISOTONIK STUDIOS. #maxforlive #ableton #abletonlive #flowfal #isotonik

Using Flowfal to control the position of a piano sound in 3D space. We are using the Envelop Envelop4Live ambisonic plug-ins to move the sound around. Binaural output of Envelop4Live gives an idea of how this would sound live. Needs headphones to work properly.

Snippet of The Knotted Project and @thunkist workshopping a new piece called “Reaching Through The Rubble” that will be performed at Full of Noises on Sat Feb 15th. Link for tickets in the Full of Noises bio. Supported by the OUTLANDS Network Exchange Commissions Programme.
