It outputs MIDI and analog CV simultaneously, making it well-suited for hybrid setups that combine digital and analog equipment. The plugin includes two LFO generators offering 10 waveforms, including classic shapes and random spline, with support for cross-modulation and syncing. It also features an envelope follower that tracks audio FX input or an external sidechain. The generated signals, together with the host clock and MIDI input, are fed into six independent FLO(W) processors. These processors combine, shape, and route inputs using math operations, conditional logic, and comparators. Each FLO includes individual polarity, division, and multiplication controls, providing deep and flexible modulation that balances chaotic creativity with precise timing. Each FLO processor output is connected to its own output bus, enabling easy integration with hardware via DC-coupled audio interfaces like the Expert Sleepers ES-9. For simpler setups, FLO outputs can be routed to the stereo output. FAC Polyflo can also convert MIDI notes, pitch, and control changes into control voltages, making it a powerful MIDI-to-CV solution. If you prefer to work exclusively with software, the plugin runs smoothly in software-only environments with full MIDI support, making it equally suited for purely digital workflows. FAC Polyflo works as both an Audio Unit FX and MIDI FX, featuring a clean, touch-optimized interface with precise control and waveform visualization. It’s available as an AUv3 for iOS (iPad/iPhone), macOS, and Vision Pro, and requires a compatible AUv3 host app to run. This is an AUv3 Effect and requires a compatible host to work The documentation is available at fredantoncorvest.com/FAC_Polyflo.html
FlangerLope

FlangerLope - Envelope Flanger Plugin (AUv3) FlangerLope is an audio effect plugin that can run standalone, or in any AU compatible host application such as Logic Pro or GarageBand. Overview FlangerLope is a slightly unusual spin (no pun intended) on a classic effect that uses a very short modulated delayed signal that mimics a sound that was originally produced by slowing down a reel-to-reel tape recorder by touching the flange of the tape reel, hence the name! FlangerLope can produce classic flanging effects, with the option of a warmer, vintage-voiced "Analog" mode, and also adds an envelope-follower function with variable response time. Unlike some flanger plugins that have an envelope mode, FlangerLope can also combine the traditional LFO modulation and envelope modes, to create some really interesting and dynamic flanging effects. A variable Spread parameter also gives full control of the stereo width of the flange effect. While I designed FlangerLope primarily for guitarists, it can add an interesting dimension to just about any audio source.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FlangerLope at $1.99 against FAC Polyflo's $9.99. FlangerLope also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
