FLOW is an audio computer program running on Apple Macintosh machines. It generates an ever-changing and never repeating soundscape in real time that fills space with flooding sounds that resemble - metaphorically - the timbres of water, fire, earth, and air. Feed your own sounds into the system and listen what the algorithms are composing. The system parameters can be accessed either with your mouse or with an attached MIDI controller. And finally, the result can be recorded as a sound file.

All info about fLOW (shareware) is available on MM softwares section.
