qFlo (pronounced queue-flow) is a SuperCollider tool intended as an interface for interaction between performer and live electronics in mixed music. It unifies key functionalities of several areas of mixed music, including fixed media playback, live processing control, and flexible methods of interaction including interfacing with custom hardware via MIDI, OSC, or USB.

Interaction with qFlo centers around a queue of pre-programmed commands, to be determined by the composer during composition, that are triggered in performance in a set order. Commands can consist of anything from playing a fixed media file to changing the parameters of the live processing or playback, whether in a preset manner or algorithmically over time. The software also features a diverse range of methods of interaction, from pressing a button to gesture recognition and pitch detection, in the latter two cases also allowing the incorporation of live captured gestural or sonic parameters into the command.

qFlo was featured at the Mensch und Computer conference at the end of August.
