This is the plugin that controls the whole of the Flowfal system. You must include it somewhere in your Max patch for the system to work, but you should only include it once.

The list on the right shows what Flowfal client devices are currently connected, what channel they have selected, and (if supported) what the device battery level is.

The list in the middle is editable and allows the user to set what names are given to each of the available channels. These channel names are then shown on the Flowfal smartphone or watch clients so that users know what sound they are selecting. Up to 20 channels are supported.

To add a new channel: click on an empty space in the list and type in a name for the channel.

To remove a channel: click on the entry for that channel and delete the name.

The first channel in the list is provided for users to select no channel - by default this is set to 'No Sound' but it can be edited to anything you like.

The Start and Stop buttons start and stop the server.

The Global Yaw Offset setting allows the user to set an offset for the yaw values used in all the Flowfal patchers. This allows Yaw settings to be calibrated to magnetic north which is useful for surround sound applications where you want sounds to follow the direction a user is facing.

You can send start and stop messages to the left hand inlet of this device to start and stop the server.
