Overview

Name | Version: Flowfal 1.4.3
Author: seast
Device Type: Audio Effect
Description: Flowfal is a system to allow control of Ableton Live using motion from one or more Apple or Android phones or smartwatches. These devices, running the Flowfal App, send data to Ableton Live over a low-latency WiFi link.

Inside Ableton Live the Flowfal data is received by a set of Max4Live plug-ins that act on this movement data in different ways.

A wide variety of movements can be mapped to any automatable Ableton Live parameter. For example, you might use the pitch angle of a device to control a filter frequency or the acceleration magnitude of a device to control track volume.
Control MIDI

Movement data can gate the MIDI input to a track. MIDI notes can be produced or transposed. MIDI Continuous Controller data can be sent to control external MIDI equipment.
Movement from Phones and Watches

Flowfal runs on iPhones, Apple Watches, Android Phones and Android Wear OS Watches. While using movement from a phone is fine in a studio environment, for performances using a watch will allow you to control sounds without having to worry about holding on to a phone.
Sub 10ms Latency

Flowfal sends data in such a way that latencies of 10ms or less are achievable. This makes the system extremely responsive to user input. Settings on the Flowfal app allow you to measure the latency of your setup in real time.
