Flame

Notes: Flame Black Filterbank is an analogue moving resonance filter bank.

The module is based on the Flame Curves and combines its most important functions in a more compact format. As a result, the individual outputs for the filter channels no longer found a place on the front panel.

The filterbank includes twelve-channel and a pattern player programmable via a software editor. You can use a freeware "Curves editor software" (Win/Mac) for setup and user pattern editing. The module needs a clock to run in pattern-mode. It also features a reset input to set the sequence back to the first step. The memory in the module can save up to 99 patterns. The active pattern can be seen on the display and selected thanks to two buttons.

When the Black Filterbank is in sequencer mode, the Envelope potentiometer controls the AR envelope, the Variation knob adds random velocity and release, and the Fill potentiometer controls the level of all the channels.

In manual mode, when the sequencer is off, you can select different filter-types with the Variation potentiometer: allpass, lowpass, bandpass 1-3 and highpass. Thanks to the Fill knob it is possible to sweep through the twelve filter bands. The Envelope knob smooths the sweep by activating a second band next to the selected filter band. Thus, the change from one band to another is not so abrupt.

It is also possible to play the twelve filters via MIDI like a drum module, thanks to the supplied MIDI to minijack cable. It even reacts to velocity.

There are several CV inputs for controlling Envelope, Variation and Fill parameters as well as the pattern number.

Notes: The Flame FM Kosmos is a full-featured 4-voice polyphonic FM synthesizer with integrated multi-effects unit. With 6 operators per voice and 32 selectable FM algorithms, it offers a wide range of sounds from classic FM tones to complex modulations. Each operator has a loopable ADSR envelope for detailed sound shaping.

It also allows morphing between two sound variations (A and B) and real-time control of effects. The integrated multi-effects processor includes stereo chorus, MIDI-syncable delay and reverb. Intuitive operation is paramount, with 8 knobs and easily accessible menus for all key parameters.

The module supports both analogue CV signals and MIDI control, making it extremely versatile. With 128 preset sounds and 128 memory slots, there is plenty of room to store and recall your own sounds.

Power consumption: 120-140mA at +12V and 60-70mA at -12V

FLAME "TAKT" rhythm sequencer.

"TAKT" is a compact 30HP Eurorack sequencer module for playing or programming trig- ger/gate/velocity rhythm sequences.

The sequencer has 8 tracks with trigger/gate outputs, 8 velocity/modulation CV outputs and full MIDI functionality. The CV track can also be used independently as a modulation track. Live sequencing in looper mode is possible in two ways: SHOTS for playing "note repeats" or quantized triggering via keys or sensors.

Four tracks can be triggered simultaneously with four external distance sensors. These sensors are just 2HP slim modules that can be rack mounted at desired locations. These are connected directly to the module with narrow and sufficiently long ribbon cables, which also supplies the sensors with the necessary operating voltage. The 4 sensors and the connection cables are included in the scope of delivery. The sensors generate trig- gers/gates and can be switched live as a set between tracks 1-4 and 5-8 (e.g. via foots- witch).

Four syncable LFOs with VCOs for amplitude adjustment are also provided. The LFOs are equipped with many interesting functions. This includes 26 different waveforms, phase, amplitude, speed and output voltage. This can be unipolar or bipolar (0..+5v or +/- 5v) and additionally attenuated by AMP (amplitude) with built-in VCA. This means that the LFO outputs can also be adapted to modules that do not have an input attenuator.

Patterns can be switched live and are each up to 4 bars long. 4 patterns plus a fill pat- tern are saved as a scene. 50 scenes can be permanently stored in the module. This means that 250 patterns are available in total.

Additional inputs and outputs for controls are available. There are 4 CV inputs to be defi- ned by the user, as well as 2 programmable analog clock outputs. On the front there are MIDI input and output as 3.5mm TRS sockets. Firmware updates can be done via MIDI- SYSEX.
