Glossary
To best understand Floe, it's helpful to know exactly what we mean when we mention specific terms:
- Package — the portable distribution container used to download and install Floe content (
.floe-pkg,.floe-pkg-enc, or.zip). Packages may contain sample libraries, presets, or both. - Sample Library — a collection of mapped, playable sounds along with images, tags, and other metadata. Sample libraries provide the instruments and impulse responses that Floe loads.
- Instrument — a playable sound source loaded into one of Floe's 3 layers, such as a sampled piano or an ambient drone (provided by a sample library).
- Impulse Response — a sample that determines the character of Floe's Convolution Reverb effect (provided by a sample library).
- Preset — a production-ready snapshot of all of Floe's parameters and options, along with a name, description, and tags.
