Blumen und Pflanzen is an expressive FM feedback synthesizer designed to create dynamic and unpredictable soundscapes. This instrument excels at generating complex rhythms and textures, offering a fresh approach to sound design that shines in improvisation, jamming, resampling, and sequencing scenarios. Its unique character ranges from smooth sine waves to intense noise, making it a compelling choice for musicians seeking to explore bold sonic territories.

At its core, Blumen und Pflanzen features two identical oscillators configured in an FM feedback loop, each with independent speed and envelope controls. These oscillators modulate each other through frequency and phase modulation, controlled via an intuitive XY pad where the X axis governs attack time and the Y axis controls decay time. This setup allows for organic and playful manipulation of sound, while a central knob adjusts their combined tempo. For users desiring precise timing, each oscillator’s clock can sync to MIDI input, enabling rhythmic sequencing with note triggers.

The synthesizer includes a distortion effect with a 4-pole low-pass filter and LFO for automated sweeps, adding further grit and intensity to the sound. Its built-in stereo delay complements the pulsating oscillators, enhancing the overall depth and spaciousness of the output. Blumen und Pflanzen is engineered to deliver vibrant, evolving textures that breathe and captivate, making it a powerful tool for sonic experimentation and creative expression.
