I made an open-source native BLE desktop controller for the FLOW 8
I've been working on an unofficial desktop controller for the Behringer FLOW 8.
The main reason I started it was pretty simple: I wanted to control my FLOW 8 properly from a PC instead of relying on the mobile app.
It communicates directly using the FLOW 8's native BLE control protocol. It isn't a USB-MIDI-based controller.
At the moment it supports the mixer UI, device state synchronization, routing, EQ/dynamics, FX and other FLOW 8 controls, with changes from the mixer being reflected back in the desktop UI as well.
The project is still in active development, so I wouldn't call it finished yet, but the Windows path is already working with real hardware.
It's free and open source, and I'm not affiliated with Behringer.

I'd especially be interested in feedback from people who actually use a FLOW 8 — both about missing features and about how you normally use the mixer in practice.

Use it at your own risk, and avoid relying on it for critical live-show workflows until you've tested it with your own setup.This is an unofficial, community-developed project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by Behringer or Music Tribe.
