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

The four tabs on the left hand side of this plugin display the four different views: Status, Display, Account and About.

The Status tab allows you to control the features of the Flowfal system for normal operation.

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 Global Yaw Offset dial allows the user to set an offset for the yaw values used in all the Flowfal plugins. 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.

The Display tab allows you to control the colours displayed on client devices.

The Background and Text colours are the colours used on client devices when they are in locked mode. Typically you would use these to match the colours of a live production.

The Stop, Get Read and Go colours will be used in a future release.

The About tab allows you to see more detail about the Flowfal system, including what version is currently running and if a new version is available.

Use the Stop and Start buttons to stop and start the Flowfal server if you are having problems connecting to your client devices.
