The Dominant 80s Synth Sound—Reborn

Waves Flow Motion FM Synth blends the power of frequency modulation synthesis with an intuitive, easy-to-navigate interface, making it accessible for both beginners and advanced users. With its visual modulation matrix, dual-layer architecture, and built-in effects, Flow Motion offers a versatile platform for crafting dynamic, evolving sounds across genres like electronic, cinematic, and experimental music.
FM Synthesis, without Compromise or Complication
Artist-Friendly Sound Creation
You don’t need a degree in physics to program this FM synth. Visual, virtual “patch cords” connect the various FM operators together in a way that makes logical sense, and many parameters are just like analog synths anyway.


Digital Engine, Analog Flow
Analog favorites, like 4-voice unison with detune and spread, “mini” or “obie” type filter curves with variable resonance peak, notch and bandpass response, portamento, and LFO smoothing bring the best of analog to digital.
Massive Modulation
4 modulators choose between familiar ADSR envelopes with velocity and aftertouch response, or LFO with 6 waveforms, 3 re-triggering modes, unipolar or bipolar polarity, smoothing, fade-in, sync to tempo, and more.


Effects to Shape Your Sound
Shape the synthesis further with modulatable drive, distortion, bit crusher, phaser, flanger, chorus, stereo delay, and reverb—all with the Waves effects lineage. There’s also a 4-stage graphic EQ, and both high- and low-pass filters.
16-Step Snapshot Sequencer/Arpeggiator
Take “snapshots” of a complete preset with all parameters, and sequence up to 16 of them for playback. Tune each step, then step through snapshots for live performance, or sequence and arpeggiate in individual presets.


Presets for Creative Flow
Get a jump start with a wide array of factory sounds, and over 1,000 presets from artists such as Richard Devine, Juno Reactor, and many more.
