Waves Flow Motion FM Synth: FM Synthesizer – Professional Audio Software & Plugin

FM synths like the Yamaha DX7 were huge in the 80s. Their bells strings brass and bass sounds appear on countless hits of the era and have remained popular in music by Skrillex Kavinsky and many more. But programming FM synthesis was often daunting and complex. Not anymore. Flow Motion makes FM synthesis playful and easy. The graphic FM modulation matrix gives you instant visual feedback: simply drag-and-drop assignments between the four oscillators each with independent waveform control. Or choose from over 1 000 presets that combine FM and analog tech for screaming leads rich pads floor-shaking basses and big polysynths. Flow Motion does it all.

Artist-Friendly Sound Creation

You don’t need a degree in physics to program this FM synth. Visual virtual “patch cords” connect the various FM operators together in a way that makes logical sense and many parameters are just like analog synths anyway.

Digital Engine Analog Flow

Analog favorites like 4-voice unison with detune and spread “mini” or “obie” type filter curves with variable resonance peak notch and bandpass response portamento and LFO smoothing bring the best of analog to digital.

Massive Modulation

4 modulators choose between familiar ADSR envelopes with velocity and aftertouch response or LFO with 6 waveforms 3 re-triggering modes unipolar or bipolar polarity smoothing fade-in sync to tempo and more.

Effects to Shape Your Sound

Shape the synthesis further with modulatable drive distortion bit crusher phaser flanger chorus stereo delay and reverb—all with the Waves effects lineage. There’s also a 4-stage graphic EQ and both high- and low-pass filters.
