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

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.
Videos
Note: This video shows Mirage, now succeeded by Floe. All features shown are available in Floe with full compatibility.
Wraith 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.
Wraith 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.
