Fluss is a sonic playground designed by Bram Bos and Berlin-based musician Hainbach to let you explore granular synthesis in a hands-on way. The playful touch UI invites anything from live performance, experimentation to learning and mastering the granular concept.

Multiple plugins: Import, Record or Live Process
You can import your own WAVs (standalone & AUv3 Instrument plugin), Record audio (Record effect plugin) or live-process sound (Process effect plugin) to create anything from drones and granular echoes to moving microtonal audio textures.

Designed for touch: Kinetic Sliders
All sliders and XY pads are linked to a physics model which lets you flick and throw them around. Minimise the friction for endless bouncing motion, as an innovative substitute for traditional LFOs and modulation. There was never a better reason for using a touchscreen for music.

Shimmer Feedback effect
Like a shimmer reverb, except it feeds the processed audio back into the grain engine. This lets you create an endless loop of pitch-shifting spaciousness, turning even the simplest of sounds into massive woolly mammoths.

- 3 Voice grain engine, each with an independent playhead
- Playable via MIDI (since version 1.1)
- Filter inspired by the Oberheim Xpander, including its resonant Phase filter
- Kinetic sliders and pads for playful interaction with the sound
- Universal design (iPhone and iPad; iPad Air 2 or higher recommended)
- Custom scales, unquantised mode and even Scala-import for microtonal experiments
- Use WAVs (or other audio files), record audio or load the app as a live-processing audio effect
- Real world tested as an instrument in numerous live performances by Hainbach
- Offers light mode and dark mode UI

Fluss - Granular Playground Positive Reviews

Very Fun!Overall, this is an amazing implementation of granular synthesis. Fluss is very fun to use and the integration with the touch interface toward modulation is particularly innovative. That said, the more I like it, the more I want Fluss2! Specifically, I would love more clock and tempo syncing options, particularly around when grains are triggered (like on Beads). But also, when using Fluss as a processor, some more visualization of the buffer, playback head speed, and modulation, in terms of tempo rather than time. The quantizer also begs for more visualization. I’d love to see the boundaries shown in the XY control for notes! And if that gets too keyboard-y and not Buchla enough, you could make the boundaries into shapes, or even allow the user to change the layout to keep it super creative. Basically keeping the fun randomness, but allowing for a biiiiiit more control, when desired. Further, while the touch interface is very innovative, I found it a bit sensitive. Very easy to cause the controls to move too fast. You can use the friction control to slow things down, but that seems to slow everything down. Would be nice to have a global friction and a separate sensitivity option so flicking a slider could only apply a maximum amount of force. Lastly, being able to apply modulation to a specific play head would be huge. So one head could be making bigger grains and another smaller, for example. Well done!.Version: 1.0.2

Very Impressive (after exploring)Initially I was not impressed by this. Usually I am underwhelmed, as an iphone developer, by gimmicky new ways to slide your fingers across the “no-so-precise” touchscreen of apples generalized 40pxl radius to work with. This usually makes it so apps like this are good in theory or on paper but not so great in experience. No so with Fluss. I was going about my initial use of this all wrong, trying to maintain consistent control instead of letting go. This tool will help you let the process just flow or .. fluss. Good Job from Bram and bach with this one..Version: 1.2

It could be perfect, but not quite there yetFantastic fun music app - such an idea generator! My biggest complaint is twofold: 1. You can’t SAMPLE.. yet this is supposed to be a granular sampler. Having to load wav files from your iOS File explorer is a pain and should be an option. Please add a “sample” button that activates the microphone on your iOS device (see Andrew Huang’s “Flip” for reference). 2. There needs to be preset browser arrows to page through your presets without having to open the pop-up browser window. Fix those two glaring issues, and you’ll have a 5-star review. Even if you don’t make a proper desktop version for your DAW..Version: 1.0.1

A very intuitive granularFluss works, at least for me, because like so much of Hainbach’s corpus, it’s grounded in tactile concepts: rebounding particles, tape loops, slow, slow, SLOW time. If that’s what you’re after, it’s a great tool for creating evolving spatial and temporal textures. That said, I can’t give it five stars because of a GLARING (to me anyway) flaw: it stops playing audio if you put it in the background. This means I can’t use an external plugin (like Lines or Filterjam, or BlindEQ) along with it, and that’s exactly what I want to do with it. That said, if you aren’t looking to multitask with it on the ipad, it’s a great means to that glitchy but also soft focus sound..Version: 1.3

Interesting. First day v1.0.1Only a few hours in. I’m sure I’ll learn more about how to use the synth with experimentation. But some things I’d like: more control. A limit on the panning, filter & scan speed, similar to the way “faders” can be limited. I would also love a way to draw in a line & separate the orbs in the octave/pitch XY pad, having one oscillator “locked” in a row or column (or diagonally), free from interruption with the movement of the other 2. Lastly a way to assign “play heads” that can be triggered by an external controller (I started using the .wav file like a drum pad by tapping different locations, if that makes any sense) Thanks for a very creative experience..Version: 1.0.1

Brilliant!This the most creative and unique iOS music production app to come out in a while! Though there’s nothing like it, it’s very easy to get your head around. It works equally well as an FX processor with live audio as a sound generation source from sample manipulation. Thanks Hainbach and Bram Bos …..this is brilliant!.Version: 1.0.1

Another Great 😊 BramSuper fun makes a granular not so daunting. To the guy who reviewed saying you can’t sample just load it into a effects slot in AUM if that’s your choice like me. It can sample any auv3 app if loaded into effects and make sure to choose fluss recorder au. That’s all I got for now. Well worth the price imho ! Keep on keepin on guys!.Version: 1.0.1

Beautiful app, I wish I could use it in my DAWI love playing around with this amazing app. The sounds they give you to use are great. That said, I wish I could incorporate this easily into my Logic workflow (yea, I know there are ways but it all seems quite complicated to be honest). Any chance we could get a plugin version of this?.Version: 1.1

ExcellentInfinite soundscape possibilities. If you like experimental granular sonics, then this app is for you. It’s perfect for the kind of stuff I like to mess with—gritty ambient rolling soundscapes with plenty of modulation. The modulation possibilities with Fluss are nearly infinite and bring new dimensions to my library of samples. One of the best music making apps of the year!.Version: 1.0.1

So coolSimple interface, yet endless sound possibilities - with instant randomization of settings by just giving the iPhone a little shake. The magic of granular synthesis easily accessible for musicians of all experience levels..Version: 1.0.1

DifferentThis is a very different and innovative granular synthesis app I’ve been playing around with it for a few hours and feel I’ve barely scratched the surface.Version: 1.0.1

Instabuy! Ambient madness.First impression, this is a lot of fun and a bit out of control. In a good way. Thank you, Bram and Herr Hainbach for another lovely tool for the toolbox. Edit: some of these presets are worth the app price alone..Version: 1.0

Lots of fun noiseIntuitive controls, fun to play around with, and lots of unique sounds. Really happy with it so far..Version: 1.0.1

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨Very awesome app can you Please add recording ability from the internal microphone.Version: 1.3

It’s greatYes, sounds wonderful.Version: 1.2

Best music app I’ve ever usedI recently experienced a serious injury, and I have been unable to play my normal instruments. This app has brought back the joy of making music for me. Thank you for making something so beautiful and brilliant!.Version: 1.0.2

Brilliant AFThe sound manipulation possibilities and the app's ease of use are simply unique. You could get lost in a short sample for an hour and hear it as a new sound with every parameter change. Brains and ambiance/musicality in action!.Version: 1.0.1
