Back to School

Detail Mode

Want to go deeper? Use Detail Mode to adjust each parameter of your favorite Softube plug-ins directly from the hardware.

 

Five magic knobs

Flow® Studio’s knobs are designed to transform your sound in a second and let your creativity run wild. Each knob is a macro control that adjusts the parameters of several plug-ins at once. You can go nuts while the Omni Knob keeps everything smooth and under control and gives you instant access to common functions like input gain and output volume. All five knobs are Analog Feel potentiometers. They’re precise and satisfying – like the best audio gear in the world. They feel analog because they are.

Professionally designed signal chains

Flow® Studio comes equipped with Flow Studio Suite: a collection of 100+ signal chains running in the Flow Mixing Suite plug-in to make vocals, guitars, synths, drums, and more, sound better than ever, and help ignite new ideas and paths for your music. Built by top sound designers and music producers, these chains – called Flows – mean the twist of any macro knob immediately transforms the sound, taking a dry recording to a draft mix in seconds.

Want to customize your signal chains for Flow Studio? No problem. You can create Flows, save them, and share them with friends.

Your perfect sound

Flow® Studio is small in size but big on versatility. Take a listen to hear what it can do for you.

A better view

EQ curves, gain reduction, reverb tails, mic position, and metering. Flow® Studio’s 4.3-inch display is big for a reason: to give you the best possible set of visualizations to navigate your sound wherever you are in your process or what kind of effect you are controlling.

 

 

Real-time excitement

Low latency is essential to keep your creative energy flowing. For this reason, Flow® Studio and its included software operate with our lowest latency for in-the-box processing, including live vocal tuning. Record, monitor, and mix seamlessly at the speed of your inspiration.

Premium. Perpetual. Included.

Flow® Studio comes with 25 Softube software effects to own forever.
