FLAME "BLACK FILTERBANK" and "FM KOSMOS"
New modules available soon!



FLAME "BLACK FILTERBANK"
The Flame Black Filterbank provides an analog 24db filter bank with 12 bands, which are controllable by an internal pattern sequencer. The signal path is in stereo, as is the dry-wet control. An analog stereo overdrive (with germanium diodes) has also been integrated. The overdrive can be switched on or off manually. Four inputs are available for CV control. The integrated sequencer can be operated via MIDI clock or via 16th analog clock/reset. Outside the 99 slots of the pattern memory (before the first sequence number), Black Filterbank runs in manual mode and offers several filter types (all-pass, low-pass, three band-pass types and high-pass). Updates are possible via MIDI Sysex...

FLAME "FM KOSMOS"
The module is based on a four-voice FM synthesizer with 6 operators and an integrated multi-effect processor. Each operator contains an ADSR envelope (also loopable), as well as settings for ratio and level. There are 32 algorithms available for the operators. A special feature is that you can morph between two sound variants within an algorithm. The separately adjustable effects are also morphed. To make programming easier, each operator can be called up directly and the parameters can be edited directly with the potentiometers in just one page. The module contains 128 sound memory locations, as well as a further 128 example sounds, arranged in 8 groups. Many parameters can be controlled via MIDI or via adjustable CV inputs. Updates are possible via MIDI Sysex...

FLAME uMM MIDI-MERGER-THRU
NEW MODULE AVAILABLE SOON




The uMM combines a MIDI merger, two independent THRU distributors and a TRS-A/B converter in just a small 4HP module. All sockets on the module are in MIDI-TRS-B format.

The basis of the MIDI merger with three inputs and three outputs is a small, powerful ARM processor with sufficient buffer memory. Up to three MIDI streams are mixed together on one output and can also be tapped via two additional outputs. Two LEDs signal how the merger works: one LED shows MIDI activity at the inputs and a second warns of too much data at the inputs.

The second functional group consists of two independent, separate MIDI-THRU distributors. The MIDI data at the respective MIDI input can be picked up and distributed at the three underlying THRU outputs. If necessary, both units can be made into a 1-to-5 distributor by connecting an output from the left group to the input from the right group (stereo cable).

The third functional group is a passive TRS-A to B converter. The TIP and RING pins on the stereo socket are swapped. For example, plug a stereo cable from a TRS-A output into the first jack and a stereo cable from a TRS-B input into the other jack. A MIDI-TRS-A can be connected to a MIDI-TRS-B module. This is also possible the other way around.

FLAME AIRLECTRON
NEW MODULE AVAILABLE








AIRLECTRON - DISTANCE CV RECORDER

The AIRLECTRON is a small, compact CV module with a distance sensor and recording function. The module can record the CV generated by hand movement over the sensor up to a length of more than two minutes. The sequence remains stored in the battery-backed RAM even after switching off.

There is a HOLD function to hold the CV at the current position above the sensor. Additionally, a GATE is set when the sensor is triggered. A START/RESET input is used to reset/start recording/playback.

The voltage generated is available at two CV outputs, bipolar from approx. +/-5v and unipolar from approx. 0 to +10v. Both outputs have a passive attenuator so that the voltage range can be set lower. The RANGE control is used to set the distance range (up to approx. 40 cm) of the distance sensor. The sensor is independent of external light and provides a logarithmic voltage curve with 12-bit resolution.

NEW FIRE UPDATE V1.03 AVAILABLE




WHAT's NEW!

The FIRE update provides new algorithms, MIDI controller extensions and more functions for the USER-CV inputs. In addition, some bugs have been fixed.

There are three other algorithms for sounds:

- COW BELL (for creating metal-like sounds with frequency shifter)
- xCLAP (for more experimental clap/noise sounds)
- WAVETABLE (wavetable oscillator with modulation LFO, filter, pitch envelope etc.)

USER CV extension:

All controls from the Panorama, Volume and Morph menus can now be assigned to the two USER-CV inputs. You can now control a sound in panning via CV, for example. The USER-CV menu has been moved to the MASTER menu (press the PAGE key in the MASTER menu), previously it was in the MORPH menu!

MIDI controller extension:

The controls for the Panorama, Morph, Volume and Master pages can be controlled using MIDI ControlChange commands. The CC numbers are fixed, but differ in the assignment of the MIDI channel. All voices normally run on channel 10. However, if a voice is played tonally (all note numbers can be received), the MIDI channel belonging to the voice is automatically assigned.

NOW AVAILABLE





FLAME "+MIRROR" Dual Unipolarinverter module

The module is an inverter for exclusively positive voltages. It inverts an applied positive voltage so that the maximum value becomes zero and zero becomes the maximum value. The input voltage is therefore not inverted into the negative voltage range (mirror axis 0v), but reflects a positive voltage around an adjustable axis within a fixed positive voltage range from 0v.

There are 10 ranges, adjustable in 1V steps. The mirror axis is always on half of the set range. Negative voltages cannot be inverted with this module. Applied negative voltages are limited to approximately zero volts.

The module has two identical function groups. Applications are, for example, the inversion within positive voltage ranges, GATE inversions (0/+5v to +5v/0v), or opposing melody lines (in connection with a connected quantizer).

C-1U KNOBREKORDER - Knob & CV recorder




The C-1U module is a one-channel module for recording and playing back movements of controller. Those can be recorded with channel s knob. The movements will be output as control voltage. The record time amounts to one minute maximal. The track can be played once only (one shot) or in loop. The speed of the play back or the output offset is controllable with the pot. There are an additional CV input for CV recordings and a reset input.

Track data remains permanently stored when a 3V battery is used to buffer the RAM. When the module is switched on, the recorded data is available again. The module can be operated unipolar or bipolar (set by jumper on the back).

The module size is 12HP in 1U format (intellijel). Availability soon (may 2022).

NEW ANALOG VOCODER





FLAME "VOCORDER" - Analog-Spectral-Looper


The Flame "Vocorder" module is a compact combination of an analog vocoder and a digital CV recorder (looper). The centerpiece is an 8-channel analog vocoder with a total of 16 analog bandpass filters for analysis and synthesis.

The analog generated analysis envelope CVs are digitized and output via the DA converter to the analog VCAs of the synthesis tapes. With the help of the record function, the envelope CVs of the analysis channels can also be recorded digitally and played back in the loop. You can manipulate the playback in different ways: swap filter channels on the fly (rerouting), change speed and playback direction etc.

The module can also be a "normal classic vocoder": the envelopes are then always looped through via AD / DA conversion (direct vocoding) and can of course also be recorded. The analysis unit is ineffective during playback because the envelopes are played back from the memory. The current version is very compact, the module is only 12HP wide - see photo.

There are two audio inputs for analysis (voices, drum etc) and synthesis (instruments). A monophonic digital oscillator with three waveforms and an analog noise generator are available for internal synthesis. There is also an unvoiced / voiced switch (controls the highpass with noise when there is sibilance). A respective mix controller is responsible for both synthesis sources. The VCO has a 1V / oct input and an additional direct audio output. The synthesis filters have audio outputs for odd / mono and even (mix of even / odd channels).

The looper recorder has the following functions: buttons for record, start, stop. A triple toggle switch for the playback direction forwards, backwards, ping-pong, another for the type of triggering: Loop, OneShot, Gated. You can record about up to three minutes. The playback speed is adjustable (also via CV). The sampled loop is retained in the battery-backed memory even after switching off.

In addition, there is a controller for rerouting the filter channel assignments from the analysis (or recorded channel) to the synthesis filters, also accessible via CV. A freeze function is also available.

The filter / cutoff control regulates the synthesis bands manually with a combined lowpass-bandpass-highpass algorithm, so the synthesis filters can also be used as simple audio filters.

Current (power consumption): maximum +12V: 220mA / -12V: 190mA

NEW QUAD MODULE





FLAME "QSLIDER" - Quad Control Voltage Source

The QSlider is an analog CV source with four 60 mm faders.
The control range of the four sliders can be set with two min / max pots.
The Min pot determines the output voltage when the slider is in the zero position and the Max pot determines the output voltage when the slider is in the end position. The slider now regulates between these two voltages. This allows you to restrict the control range and still have the entire control path of the slider available.

The reverse voltage is available at a second output socket (min and max are interchanged).
This means that the slider can also be used as a crossmix fader.

Two common channels can be operated unipolar or bipolar.
The voltage ranges are 0 .. + 10V or +/- 5V.
