Powerful sonic alchemy demands more than static presets—it requires fluid motion, dynamic response, and the ability to reshape sound in real time. Flowstate answers that challenge, turning rigid audio clips into living, breathing textures that evolve at your command.
Core Morphing Engine
- Morph duration extended up to 200% for prolonged, cinematic transitions
- Harmonic morphing engine enables seamless movement across 5 distinct harmonic states
- Real-time Transform or Crossfade adjustments halt ongoing Morph processes to preserve sonic integrity
- Velocity mapped to Start Time and Attack Time for expressive performance shaping
User Interface & Workflow Enhancements
Interactive Visual Feedback
- Saving a State triggers a red dot flash—providing instant visual confirmation
- Drag-and-drop audio anywhere within the GUI, not limited to waveform display area
Navigation & Control
- Access dedicated menu command to initialize current State
- Filter type selection via dropdown menu (non-morphable parameter)
- Automation lane names corrected for DAW consistency
Sound Design Capabilities
Transform Modes
| Mode | Function |
|---|---|
| Transform | Shifts harmonic structure while preserving rhythmic elements |
| Melt | Softens transients, blurs pitch contours into ambient washes |
| Distort | Introduces controlled saturation and spectral complexity |
Input Flexibility
- Accepts any audio format: drum loops, field recordings, noise bursts, vocal snippets
- Instantly converts source material into morph-capable clips
- No pre-processing required—drag directly from desktop or browser
Integration & Expandability
- NKS-ready for seamless integration with Komplete Kontrol keyboards and Maschine
- Full tag-based browsing within Native Instruments ecosystem
- 100 expertly crafted presets included, covering textures, pulses, atmospheres, and rhythmic mutations
- Sample pack bundled for immediate experimentation
Performance Architecture
Latency & Processing
- Optimized for low-latency playback during live manipulation
- State initialization occurs in under 50ms for responsive control
- Red dot feedback synchronized with internal save routine (±3ms tolerance)
Parameter Locking
- Crossfade curves locked during Morph unless manually overridden
- Filter type remains fixed during transitions to prevent unintended coloration
- Velocity mappings apply only when modulation matrix is active
