The Original Flock Synth is Back

Photophore 1 introduced flock synthesis in 2014. More than a decade later, there's still nothing quite like it, and the requests for plug-in support never stopped! Version 2 delivers AUv3, along with iPhone support, a redesigned interface, stereo width, a new sound library, and new ways to disrupt the flock.

The Sound

Unlike other digital synthesizers, Photophore creates warmth and character in a unique way. Instead of modeling analog circuits, it models animal behavior. Its sound engine is a flock of up to 100 oscillators moving through a virtual 3D environment. As they drift, they naturally detune and spread across the stereo field, creating rich timbres that are perfect for massive basses, complex pads and swarming leads.
