Per-layer arpeggiators
Create advanced rhythmic performances. Each layer can run its own arpeggiator — different rates, rhythms and patterns playing against each other.
Warmth & Wonder Strings
Real strings meet synthetic atmosphere
A lush, church-recorded string ensemble (Arctic Strings) paired with ethereal synth strings and choir-pads (Phoenix) — warm and real meets airy and otherworldly.

A natural pairing
Arctic Strings is the real, warm half — a full ensemble recorded in a church, with a Dynamics knob for natural-sounding swells. Phoenix is the synthetic half — ethereal choir-pads, dreamy synth strings, and soft textures. Grounded and orchestral at one end, airy and otherworldly at the other.
Layer and blend
Both run in Floe, so you can load them into its 3-layer engine and combine them however you like — tuck the real strings under synth choir-pads, stack swells for extra width, or use each on its own. Between them you can reach orchestral backdrops, soft chords, ethereal pads, and the odd sound-design texture from the processed presets.
What’s Included
Arctic Strings
Smooth sustained strings
Lush sustained strings recorded in a church, designed for simplicity. Arctic Strings gives you a full string ensemble with expressive dynamics control for effective backdrops and swells. Perfect for layering real strings with other Floe libraries, or explore the included presets that venture into processed and sound-design territory.
Phoenix
Smooth synth strings and choirs
Smooth synthetic strings and ethereal choirs for atmospheric backdrops and emotive soundscapes. Phoenix features six carefully crafted synth instruments that excel at creating pads and textures — or explore beyond: keys, basses, leads, and sound effects.

Note: This video shows Mirage, now succeeded by Floe. All features shown are available in Floe with full compatibility.
Every library in Warmth & Wonder Strings plays in Floe, our free plugin for Windows, macOS and Linux. It's where your libraries live, on their 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.
The libraries in Warmth & Wonder Strings belong to our Originals Series. They were first made for Mirage, Floe's predecessor, but are now fully at home in Floe: every instrument is tagged and ready for all of Floe's features, arpeggiators and granular synthesis included. Their factory presets are the original banks, made before Floe's newer features existed, so they're yours to take further.
Floe is free and open source: install it, add your libraries, 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.
