Hi all!

I downloaded Flow today and also the Example Synth. It has keyboard in and asio out. The standalone exe is working, but how to listen to the synth in Flowstone itself? Ok, it says "always running" but my keyboardinputs don't force the synth to do a sound. The ARP is running when pressing a key, but no sound.

Weird, it seems to be I'm the only one havin this problem.

Do you have the correct sound card selected?

Try hooking a string primitive to the output of the MIDI In and make sure it's showing midi messages from whatever keyboard you're trying to send midi from...

Try hooking the 'Scope' module to the output of the synth and see if audio is present.

select soundcard: Umm inside Flow? The whole Options menu don't show me any soundcard stuff to adjust.

the scope thing shows nothing and I'm definately too newbie to check out the string primitive thing...

First of all, make sure your midi controller keyboard is turned on, before you start Flowstone.
Then in the schematic, you'll see a so called primitive (read about terms in the manual) called "MIDI In". The first entry in this primitive is "PC Keyboard". If this is the only entry, then your midi controller isn't recognized. If there is a second entry, then your controller was recognized and you can activate it to be used. You do so by clicking on that second entry, so that it turns red.

Ok, I did what u said. My MIDI Keyboard is showing up. So now:

1) I can't play via PC Keyboard inside Flow
2) I can't play via MIDI Keyboard inside Flow
3) I can't play via MIDI Keyboard the export exe synth

3) I can play via PC Keyboard the export exe synth

UPDATE: Wow, that was kinda weird.

I noticed, that you could click the ASIO out. It seems kind of activation. The fun part: Nothing happend. Then I jumped into the schematics to check the outputs. Guess what... I clicked on the upper output link connection and after this click, the synth started to make sound.

Only problem is the ARP don't wanna stop, when I deselect it, but that's not a real problem for me to start to learn Flow...

Ty all for "trying" to help.

I had the same problem. Going to test it Once again later today.
