X-FLOW
FM Synthesizer

A Revolution in Visual FM Synthesis

Experience FM synthesis like never before with SSB’s X-Flow FM Synthesizer, a groundbreaking instrument for Native Instruments Reaktor.

X-Flow reimagines FM with an innovative visual approach, replacing complex matrices with intuitive XY fields, putting the power of FM directly at your fingertips.

Key Features:

• Visual FM Matrix:
  Ditch the confusing charts! X-FLOW uses four XY fields to represent the FM matrix, providing a clear and direct way to shape your sound. Each operator's modulation source is visually displayed, making FM synthesis more accessible and creative.

• Expressive Performance:
  X-FLOW is designed for performance. Modulate your FM creations live with your mouse, MIDI controllers, or even with the nuanced control of Mono-, Poly-Aftertouch or MPE, for unparalleled sonic expression.

• Deep Modulation Capabilities:
  Dive into a world of intricate sound design with extensive modulation options. X-Flow features 4 FM Envelopes per voice, 2 LFOs per voice (which can be polyphonic, monophonic, key synced or one-shot) for Pitch, Amp, and Filter modulation, and 8 XY LFOs per voice to further animate the FM matrix.

• Powerful Sound Engine:
  X-FLOW boasts a 24-voice engine with 4 operators, each offering 5 selectable waveforms (Sine, Tri, Saw, Pulse, Square). Shape your sound further with a dedicated filter section (including Low Pass and High Pass options) and an Overdrive effect for added grit and character.
  (16 Voices for the MPE version)

• Advanced Control:
  Fine-tune your sound with detailed controls including individual operator Pitch and Level, voice panning with randomization, and comprehensive Voice Mode options for polyphony, monophony, unison, and detuning.
  Presets are mapped for Komplete Kontrol and Maschine
  

• Presets Designed by:
  -Michael Soltau (Film-Composer/Platinum Producer/Owner of Synthesizer Museum/Studio Berlin)
  -Stephan Schmitt (Inventor of Reaktor/Founder of Nonlinear Labs/Founder of NI)
  -Stephan Bobinger (Engineer at Synthesizer Studio Berlin/Developer of X-Flow)
  
  The presets were especially designed for playing musicians who like to control every nuance of the sound with their fingers.
  The MPE version has a few more presets which were specially designed to make use of the extra Y dimension that is available there.

Unleash your sonic creativity with X-Flow's unique blend of intuitive visual control and powerful FM synthesis. Whether you're a seasoned sound designer or an adventurous musician, X Flow offers a new dimension in sound creation.
