Per-layer arpeggiators
Create advanced rhythmic performances. Each layer can run its own arpeggiator — different rates, rhythms and patterns playing against each other.
Abstract Energy
Chaotic Digital Sound-design
Digital chaos, turbulent atmospheres and cyber sound effects; Abstract Energy contains predominantly atonal sounds and one-shots that can be used for designing rich abstract textures/atmospheres and sound effects for sci-fi and horror; such as robotic machinery and dystopian industries. In total there are 60 'oscillators' and 50 ready-to-go presets.

Powered by Floe
Our free plugin for expressive performance — simple yet highly customisable with layers, FX, granular and more (CLAP/VST3/AU).
Part of Cinematic Atmosphere Toolkit
This library is one of the 6 libraries that make up Cinematic Atmosphere Toolkit. Have a look at Cinematic Atmosphere Toolkit’s page for demos and more information. We’ve recently made the individual libraries more easily accessible to buy separately — they’re full products in their own right.

Abstract Energy plays in Floe, our free plugin for Windows, macOS and Linux. It's where your library lives, on its own or alongside any others of ours: a preset browser, three layers for blending instruments into a single sound, and filters, envelopes and a rack of effects to shape them with.
Abstract Energy belongs to our Originals Series. It was first made for Mirage, Floe's predecessor, but is now fully at home in Floe: every instrument is tagged and ready for all of Floe's features, arpeggiators and granular synthesis included. Its factory presets are the original bank, made before Floe's newer features existed, so they're yours to take further.
Floe is free and open source: install it, add your library, and start playing.
New in v2
Granular synthesis
Stretch, freeze and reshape any instrument into evolving clouds and textures — even multisampled instruments.
Pro effects rack
Eleven high-quality, reorderable effects — including pro-standard reverb and delay, and convolution reverb with creative IRs.
Built for the studio
Four macro knobs for expressive performance of multiple parameters. MIDI CC, sustain pedal, undo/redo, A/B comparison for preset edits, visual EQs and a random variation generator.
Free and open source
Floe is a companion project to FrozenPlain — totally free and open source for longevity and ethical service to the music-making community.
Layer across libraries
Blend instruments from any library in a single patch. Floe's three-layer architecture, each with its own controls, allows for creating hybrid textures.
