A New Ember: Flame 4VOX Polyphonic Wavetable Oscillator

video upload by Red Means Recording

"The 4Vox is a quad wavetable oscillator with up to four voices per VCO channel, resulting in a maximum of 16 voices at four individual outputs.

This is a weird one. I sold it after having it for about a week after buying it new. It's a really interesting oscillator but I found it pretty unwieldy to use. YMMV!"

Flame - Chord Machine 2

video by SchneidersLaden

"Flame’s Chord Machine 2 comes equipped with a chord generator, an arpeggiator and a quantizer. The module generates tuned CV signals for up to five voices. You even don’t necessarily need an incoming CV to generate these output signals. You define a chord and an arpeggio based on internal note and tuning settings, these settings can be saved in lists that function as song lists or chord progressions, depending on how you use them. The arpeggiator output can alternatively be used as a very flexible quantizer. For a quantizer and chord generator module of this size it has a lot to offer. All in all, the module is very powerful, which also makes it complex – but it is worth taking the time exploring it!

The voices generated by the Chord Machine 2 can be spread over a range of eight octaves. 42 presets plus 16 user chords with up to four voices are available for musical experiments. Additionally, it is possible to choose between first, second and third inversion. All in all, musicians get access to 232 chords, which are playable within 54 preset and 15 user scales. Transpositions can be done via a CV input. The arpeggiator can run in several directions. The octave range is variable as well. Program and arpeggiator parameters are not only editable by hand, but can be modulated via a CV input as well. For synchronizing the module to other equipment, there is a clock input."

Benjolin + Mäander Filter Bank + Ocean Machine // Ambient Synth Noise Looping #TTNM​

video by THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"The Benjolin is modulated by the Klangbau Köln Eurorack Joystick CV Processor. Its mono audio is routed through the Flame Mäander’s sequenced filter bank, turning the sounds into a stereo signal, by panning certain filter bands hard to the L and R channels. At the end of the chain sits the Mooer Ocean Machine ambient guitar pedal with two stereo delays, a lush reverb and a live audio looper. It’s a fun noise and drone music doodle :)"

Curves Filter Bank -Flame Instruments/Primary Oscillator ,ModTools,Micro Sequence-Pittsburgh Modular

Dziam Bass

"Today I have a small demo of the Curves 12 Band Filter Bank & seqencer from Flame instruments and modules like Lifeforms Primary Oscillator, Lifeforms Micro Sequence and Lifeforms Mod tools from Pittsburgh Modular Synthesizers .😀

For this I used Time Wizard from Shakmat Modular , X-4 from Flame as VCA and Dual LFO from nakedboards .
As a delay I added the guitar effect Red Repeat from Carl Martin .

The whole voice is basically from Pittsburgh ,so Sine wave and Timbre out added to INA and INB in ​​Mod tools.
it was used as a mixer 😀, filter sound and fun with LFO when in the Curves filter for a given band I added LFO , and various gates from Time Wizard module , so the sound is moving all the time,

In curves I only used the ODD input and ODD output but you can also use EVEN or ALL and each band its own VCA and also the Audio OUT.🔥😍

it's best to watch the video yourself and take a look at the pages of these modules and check out the cool ECHO modeled on the Vintage sound from the 1950s. 🔥🔥👌

for me, these are great modules and a nice delay effect that I often use in new music recently

Flame 4VOX- Overview wavetables and menu

Dziam Bass

"Hello Guys.
I have a small overview of one of the 4 wavetable oscillators and the menu in the 4Vox-Quad Polyphonic Wavetbale VCO module from Flame instruments
it's basically an introduction to a further series but you can see how you have 4 voices in one VCO and many wavetables for one voice.
this is a total of x4 wavetables and times 4 Vcos .. that gives you 16 voices polyphony.
this module has some nice functions like octave management, morphing between scales, octaves and wavetables.
two knobs, which can be freely selected pot 1 and 2 for .detune, morphing, amplitube move, chord semitone, portamento etc.
both CVs can also be assigned to morphing wavetebles ,scales , octaves etc from 0 ... to 5v, = / - 2.5v or = / - 5v
for this there are many more functions, but here you have access to the menu"

Wavetable fun with 4VOX-Flame/Preset-Polyend/Nerdseq/Quadigy-Klavis

Dziam Bass

"Waves, Wavetable, Wavetables and amazing module 4 VOX -Quad Polyphonic Wavetable VCO from Flame instruments
So ..why I love wavetbales you have in this movie, it allows me to have a larger spectrum of sounds than the analog oscillators themselves.

Here the Preset from Polyend module changes wavetables for one VCO from 4vox. in one VCO I used 2 voices, second vco to bass sound.🙃😀

Preset module also changes slightly the envelope from Quadigi from Klavis to this added drums as you hear.
Everything sequenced by Nerdseq from Xor electronics .

Flame has many options because you have built-in LFO in this module, and rewriting modulation for CV 1 and CV 2 but in the menu you can set for example CV 1 for changing octaves, which gives you plenty of possibilities.

You have also sclaes, chords ,semitones and detune or portamento.👌👌🔥🔥

Each VCO in 4 VOX has its own 4 voices and in each voice you have another 64 wavetables which can also be used for power sound or turn-in CV for the built-in MORPH function.

This is a damn extensive module and I described only one of the VCO uses, here you have as many as 4 in total 16 polyphonic voices.👈 😁

Thanks for watching and have a wonderful day !!"

FLAME MÄANDER 2.0 - MIDI Tutorial #TTNM

THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Here's a tutorial video on how to set up and use the Mäander's MIDI features.

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

The Mäander provides both MIDI input and output on separate MIDI channels for the polyphonic synth and the percussion parts (input, noise and filter band envelopes). You can also define what MIDI data is received and sent. The two MIDI input sockets at the back of the device let you attach two different controllers or sequencers, to separately play the synth, the filter bank and to send program change commands. It's very easy to set up und flexible :-) "

Flame Mäander - Sunny Electro Blues // Outdoor Synth Jam #TTNM

Published Jun 4, 2020 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Experimental Blues on the Flame Mäander synthesizer, plus iOS Jim Audio Pure Acid drums and Audio Damage Dubstation delay and EOS reverb. MORE INFO BELOW :)

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

Another great day to chill with the Flame Mäander in the sun! I prepared a simple 128 step backing track with the internal sequencer, locked it and then played on top of it in Shots mode (beat repeat) with the little button keyboard. The notes were quantized live into the same blues scale as the backing track and I’ve used the keyboard transpose encoder heavily to throw in some higher pitched notes.

I chose one of the new Mäander 2.0 B wavetables, containing electric organ and piano waves, which can create dramatically morphing swells when modulated with a slow triangle LFO. There is also the Mäander’s noise oscillator playing a simple rhythmic four on the floor pattern. Tweaking its decay adds some fun variation to the track.

In postproduction on my iPad Pro, I added additional drums with Jim Audio’s PURE ACID iOS drum machine in the Cubasis 2 DAW. For effects I stuck to my trusty Audio Damage AUv3 plugin suite with Dubstation 2 delay and EOS 2 reverb.'

LYRA-8 through MÄANDER // Filterbank Synthesizer Drone Music #TTNM

Published on Jun 2, 2020 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"SOMA LYRA-8 drone music processed by the FLAME MÄANDER synthesizer’s filter bank. MORE INFO BELOW :)

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

Cameron Entzminger sent me an audio file of a Soma Lyra-8 performance to run through the Flame Mäander’s filter bank.

You can listen to the original Lyra-8 audio file here:
https://soundcloud.com/cambot_music/l...

In this video I first fade in the various filter bank channels. Then I morph to the filter bank’s 12-track envelope sequencer, which adds rhythm to the drone and introduces stereo panning effects. The 10 filter bands above the bass frequencies are split between the left and right channels when you plug cables into both audio output sockets.

Later on, I add sequenced white noise shots from the Mäander and additional percussion from Bram Bos’ Ruismaker iOS drum machine, turning the Lyra-8 drone into some kind of dark industrial beat music.

Flame Mäander - Old Axolotl Dreams // Sunset Synth Jam #TTNM

Published on Jun 1, 2020 THE TUESDAY NIGHT MACHINES

"Two Flame Mäander synth recordings in an auditory twirl between dreams and reality. MORE INFO BELOW :)

♥ SUPPORT: http://bit.ly/ttnm-support ♥

I’ve been reading “The old Axolotl” recently, which is quite different than the Netflix series “Into the Night”, but still a very cool experience for a moderate sci-fi nerd like me.

The description of the robots‘ dream plugin inspired me to create this jam session. The two Mäander recordings create harmony and dissonance and one is never quite at ease nor fully engulfed in darkness. The stuttering sunset through the net structure is a nod towards the robots’ once-human souls, which are trapped behind digital sensor interfaces insufficient to accurately represent the reality they knew.

Anyway, enjoy this weird music videos ;-)"

Flame X-4 and 4 VOX fun with Envelope

Published on Jun 1, 2020 Dziam Bass

"Hello Everyone!

I am playing a lot with the 4 VOX module - Quad Polyphonic Wavetable VCO and I'm using the X-4 Quad Envelope VCA from Flame instruments

Here was a little fun when I used only triggers that I introduced to X-4 for fun.

thanks to this, a nice replaceable melody with a beat is created.

you can lengthen the EG or higher raise the channel and you have more attack in the case of this patch for AD.
For me it's fun when I used 3 sounds from 4 VOX and these wavetable are different from each VCO. create completely new sounds that play to the rhythm of triggers. I added LFO to one VCO, you can hear it changing wavetables."
