FLAIL is an innovative and slightly experimental live performance synthesizer. You control it using intuitive touch controls and device movements (also known as FLAILING).
By FLAILING in your three favorite spacial dimensions, you can control just about any aspect of the sound. The synth engine is super-powerful – just check this awe-inducing feature list.

FEATURES:

- 4 filter types: low-pass, band-pass, hi-pass and formant (vowel) filter
- 4 serial effect units: phaser, digital crusher, reverb, and overdrive
- The harmonic-hieararchy keyboard
- Automatic key and tempo estimation
- WIST tempo sync
- Arpeggiator with “soft” note-on quantize
- Vector-style oscillator mixer

This is really quite a fun program with arpeggios and gesture control and effects. It would be better if it included ACP, virtual midi ports, and recording, but it is a fun instrument anyway. I have emailed the developer about adding the other features but haven’t gotten a response yet. I really recommend this for those who want a novel way of manipulating sounds. Check out the video to get a feel for how fun it can be (Flail for ios on youtube).
