Info on this was just posted to the Computing At School Forum; so it is 
clearly (and somewhat ambitiously I suspect) aimed at schools:

http://www.dsprobotics.com/flowstone.html

Windows only; minimally-restricted version is available for free download.

It is presented as a general graphic tool for learning programming, 
including, but by no means limited to, audio and MIDI.

Some example patches have also been posted to the Forum; I have asked if 
an external download can be made available. On my cheap d/c laptop and 
cheap USB card, there is audible latency when driven from MIDI. A large 
screen will be an advantage.

Don't they also produce SynthMaker for creating VST plugins?

Or does this replace SynthMaker?

According to synthmaker.co.uk they have "merged" the two products together.

That's a might impressive list of applications for a single product!

I've started one but it's going to take some time yet before it's ready :)

sent from a mobile device...

It is the "whole lot more" added to SM that makes the difference here - 
robotics, sensors, video (including openCV modules), general-purpose 
(non-audio) coding, n-stuff, and with reference to STEM they have the 
education market very much the target.

Here is a link to some example projects (including a few audio/music ones):

For bug reports, etc, send an email to:

support@dsprobotics.com

There are the inevitable web forums too.
