FlowBrush

FlowBrush is a creative time domain-based sound designer tool.

The story begins with the four line matrix delay, where 4 delay lines could feed into each other. Each delay has a high pass/low pass filter with an “analoguish” flavour, and a granulator for chopping, mangling and twisting the sounds.

The next step is the dual algorithm reverb, which can be simple and small or huge and unconventional. The ducking allows spreading of the reverb to suit your needs.

Last but not least are a plethora of modulation options through the use of internal LFOs or external CVs.

Global Controls

• The well known Bypass/On/Off switch and the patch browser
• Global Dry/Wet control in the top right corner

Delays

• Four delay channels A, B, C & D arranged in a feedback matrix
• Individual Left & Right audio inputs for each channel
• Self-feedback knobs are marked with a circle

Filter

• ‘Analoguish’ Low Pass / High Pass filter for each channel
• Center position = No Filtering (Left LP/Right HP)
• Post Mode positions the filter after the Granulator

Delay Time

• Sync 1/1 delay length = 1 quarter note (1 beat)
• SNC button toggles between synced and free timing
• XY control for free timing (fast and accurate editing on wide range) (Use shift key for higher precision)

Timing comparison

Granulator

• Optional granulator for each channel
• Adjustable grain size (Rate knob)
• Playback direction probability (Dir knob)
• Adjustable playback speed (Semi and Fine knobs)
• Pitch uncertainty (Spr knob)
• Random additional offset in the grain buffer (Jitt knob)

Delay’s Output Mixer

• 6x2 channel mixer
• Mix out for the four delay channels and the Left and Right channel
• Dry/Wet control

Reverb

• Two algorithms
• CPU friendly Simple reverb
• Aura reverb for huge and/or unconventional spaces
• Ducking

Modulation

Modulation Assignment

• Six modulation slots
• Modulation targetting for more than 80 parameters
• Internal (LFOs) and/or external (CVs) modulation sources

LFOs

• Four LFO (2 synced and 2 with free timing)
• Sine, Triangle, Ramp, Square, Random waveforms
• Adjustable phase and smoothing
• Automated or Manual Retrigger
• Auto restart option after silence

Note: The random waveform changes the value 2 times in a cycle, so this shape is similar to the square shape, but the levels are not the max and the min values but random values.

Back side

• Left and Right Audio Input
• Left and Right Audio Output
• 4 CV Inputs for modulation
