TB Flowtones 1.5.7

TB Flowtones Virtual Analog Synthesizer is a powerful tool for sound creation. Thanks to its true VA synthesis engine, analog-modeled filters, and extensive modulation options, Flowtones differentiates itself by providing a warmer and more analog sound compared to digital romplers and wavetable-based synthesizers.

Offered both as a stand-alone app with IAA support and as an AUv3/ IAA plugin, TB Flowtones boasts an impressive array of features:

• Four VCO architecture with two voice layers and two VCOs each
• Four synthesis engine types modeled after renowned analog synthesizers
• 36 analog VCO waveforms including classic and custom variations
• Pulse width modulation for all VCO waveforms
• Full stereo and mono unison modes for each VCO individually
• Noise and subharmonic oscillators per VCO
• Ring and self-modulation matrix for unique sound design
• High-quality non-linear filters (VCF) with over 30 filter types

The modulation features of TB Flowtones are equally robust:

• Four LFOs with 30 waveforms each
• Cross-modulation capabilities between LFOs
• Three envelope generators with key velocity modulation
• Hundreds of modulation signal paths available

In addition to its synthesis capabilities, Flowtones includes professional-grade effects like studio reverb, delay, chorus, formant filter, distortion, bit crushing effects, equalizer, peak limiter, and a non-linear power supply simulation for an authentic analog experience.

The step sequencer in TB Flowtones is intuitive and versatile:

• Fully integrated step sequencer with chord and note series triggers
• Option to run asynchronously or synchronously to the host
• Smart copy/paste functionality for efficient workflow

The app also provides a broad range of presets and an intelligent randomizer for endless sound design possibilities. However, there are some important considerations to keep in mind when using TB Flowtones:

• Inter-App Audio (IAA) limitations require AUv3 hosting for multiple instances
• Licenses purchased for one platform are not transferable
• Audio Unit (AUv3) support necessitates iPad mini 2, iPad 4, or newer models
