Flow® Studio is a compact hardware/software control surface designed to streamline modern music production and mixing through Softube’s Flow Mixing Suite. Combining tactile hardware controls with deep plug-in integration, it allows users to shape sounds, manage complex processing chains, and move efficiently from initial ideas to finished mixes.
Built around a 4.3-inch high-resolution display and five touch-sensitive macro knobs, Flow® Studio provides hands-on control over multiple plug-in parameters simultaneously. Its central Omni Knob handles navigation, selection, and global adjustments, keeping essential controls within easy reach.
Flow® Studio operates across three dedicated modes. DAW Mode provides traditional transport and mixing controls, including volume, pan, mute, solo, sends, and track selection. Flow Mode offers macro-based sound shaping through pre-designed signal chains, while Detail Mode provides direct access to individual Softube plug-in parameters for more precise editing.
The system includes 25 premium Softube effects as perpetual licenses, covering equalization, compression, reverb, delay, saturation, amp simulation, vocal processing, and more. It also comes with over 100 professionally designed signal chains, known as Flows, for vocals, drums, guitars, synthesizers, and full mixes. Users can expand their collection to access more than 80 plug-ins and over 300 Flows.
Flow® Studio also supports third-party plug-ins, extending its integration beyond Softube's own ecosystem and providing additional flexibility when building production and mixing workflows. Support for Softube Console 1 products is also planned for 2027, opening the door to more advanced hybrid mixing setups.
Designed for low-latency performance, Flow® Studio is suitable for recording, monitoring, and mixing in real time. Its compact construction features an anodized aluminum chassis, an RGB feedback system, and USB-C connectivity, making it a practical addition to both professional and home studios.
