230 instruments in three complementary categories

  • Drones: Gritty low-end, granular harmonic content, and atonal clusters for dark, ominous foundations.
  • Tonal: Harmonic, melodic pads with silky, entrancing tones.
  • Textures: Noise and dissonance that acts as the glue between the other categories.

Some instruments are multi-tonal – a single sound with multiple pitches in one note. This creates an unsettling character that's hard to recreate with single-pitch sounds alone and is excellent for laying down a bed of tense atmosphere.

80 production-ready presets

Wraith's presets span six categories – Atmospheres, Drones, Pads, Plucks, SFX, and Textures – with Pads forming the largest collection. Floe's randomisation features allow for effective experimentation of new sounds within, or across categories.

Created by Carlos Butler

Sound-design veteran, Carlos Butler created the samples, drawing from years of experience as a composer of ambient and cinematic music released as Rildrim and sound design work for Temporal Geometry. His ear for tonality and musical, production-ready samples is evident throughout Wraith.

Floe complete interface
Floe's 3-layer architecture blending multiple sample libraries

Layer across libraries

Blend instruments from any library in a single patch. Floe's three-layer architecture, each with its own controls, allow for creating hybrid textures.

Per-layer arpeggiators

New in v2

Create advanced rhythmic performances. Each layer can run its own arpeggiator — different rates, rhythms and patterns playing against each other.

Floe's granular synthesis playback controls

Granular synthesis

New in v2

Stretch, freeze and reshape any instrument into evolving clouds and textures — even multisampled instruments.

Floe's reorderable professional effects rack

Pro effects rack

Eleven high-quality, reorderable effects — including pro-standard reverb and delay, and covolution reverb with creative IRs.

Floe macro knobs connected to multiple parameters

Built for the studio

Four macro knobs for expressive performance of multiple parameters. MIDI CC, sustain pedel, undo/redo, A/B comparison for preset edits, visual EQs and a random variation generator.

Originals

Carefully updated for Floe, this library was originally made for Mirage, Floe's predecessor.

  • Fully tagged and perfectly updated to new Floe format
  • Seamlessly use the instruments in all of Floe's new features
  • Its factory presets predate Floe's new features, so don't feature macros, preset descriptions, the arpeggiator or granular synthesis
