Flame MÄANDER firmware update V2
The Flame MÄANDER provides an analog 12 channel band pass filter bank, which are controllable by an internal pattern sequencer. Sound sources can be the internal polyphonic wavetable oscillator, the analog white noise channel and an external audio input source.
There are one polyphonic note track (up to 4 voice chords) and 14 mono tracks for the audio input, the white noise source and for each filter channel. Each channel include a VCA with individual envelope control. All tracks are accessible via MIDI notes.
Create your own patterns, save them in the internal pattern sequencer as a PATCH and play them on the fly. With the internal arpeggiator and the keyboard scaler function you can jam very well live. Software updates, loading of wavetables and saving/loading of patches can be easily realized via MIDI sysex dump.
The firmware update is available here.
Flame MIDI modules 2020
Flame offers a series of compact MIDI modules ... available now!
It comprises the uMCLK MIDI-to-Clock, the u16MCC MIDI CC-to-CV, the uQMCV 4Voice Midi-to-CV, the uMGTV MIDI-to-Gate/Velocity, and the uMLFO MIDI/Analog LFO.
AJH Synth - Next Phase
The AJH Synth Next Phase is an analog 12-stage multi tap phaser.
It is built around the circuitry of the superb sounding EH Smallstone Phaser, which was used to such great effect on synthesizers and string machines by J. M. Jarre on his early albums. It has the same versatile Stage and Emphasis stage switching, and the same configuration of stereo outputs, where the left channel is taken from the Stage switch, and the Right output from the Emphasis Stage Switch.
In this video, we use the Next Phase to change the sound of a percussion loop and to imitate the sound of the wind with a noise source. In the third part of the video, we "ping" the module using short envelopes.
Flame - µQMCV
The Flame µQMCV module is a 4-voice MIDI-to-CV interface with additional CV outputs for modulation and pitch bend, as well as two MIDI clock outputs for RUN and 16th clock.
The MIDI interface is multimode capable, which means that the individual voices can be used separately on different MIDI channels in defined modes. For example, voices 1-3 can be used in three voices on one MIDI channel and the remaining fourth voice can be used monophonically on another MIDI channel.
In the first part of the video, the Flame µQMCV controls a three-voice chord which is played via MIDI keyboard. The sound is generated by the Doepfer A-111-4 Quad VCO filtered with the help of the Doepfer A-121-3 multimode filter. In the second part we add a bass voice sequenced using the fourth channel and some drums from an external drum machine.
