FKFX Influx: Your Sound Retox Tool
Introducing FKFX Influx – a unique combination of modulated distortion and resonator. It’s a “sound retox machine” that allows you to breathe new life into your audio, creating unheard-of rhythmic patterns and textures. The “WET ONLY” mode outputs only the processed portion, ideal for experimentation.
The Heart of Sound Transformations: Flux Modules
At the core of Influx are powerful Flux modules:
- Flux Resonator: Multi-point LFO editing for the resonator note. Creates dynamic patterns.
- Flux Chaos: Feeding the resonator with the audio input in real-time. Adds unpredictability.
- Flux Center Note: Selection of the root note for the Resonator, with MIDI control.
- Flux Scale Snap: 38 automatic modes for snapping to scales/modes. Ensures harmony. Scales: Off / Octave / I-V / I-IV / I-IV-V / Tetratonic / Tetratonic minor / Tritonic / Major Pentatonic / Suspended Pentatonic / Blues Minor Pentatonic / Blues Major Pentatonic / Minor Pentatonic / Miyako-Bushi / Iwato / Hirajoshi / Insen / Whole Tone / Blues Common / Enigmatic / Persian / Ionian / Dorian / Phrygian / Lydian / Mixolydian / Aeolian / Locrian / Harmonic Minor / Melodic Minor / Phrygian 6 / Lydian Augmented / Lydian Dominant / Mixolydian b6 / Locrian 2 / Altered Min Scale / Harmonic Major / Chromatic.
- Flux Stereo: Adds stereo pitch shift between the L/R Resonator.
- Flux LFO: Controls the Low Pass Filter.
Sound Shaping: Filters and Distortion
After the resonator, the signal passes through a Low Pass Filter and Tube Distortion:
- Low Pass Filter: Controlled by Flux Resonator LFO.
- LFO Rate: From 4 bars to 16th notes, including polyrhythmic.
- 16 Waveshapers: A variety of distortion algorithms.
- Tube Distortion: Simulation of tube distortion, adds warmth.
- Low Cut Filter: Removes low-frequency hum.
- Gain: Signal level after distortion (-48dB/+48dB).

Influx provides tools for integration:
- Dry/Wet Maximum: Full ratio control.
- Dry/Wet LFO Editor: Modulates the dry/wet ratio.
