SHORT DESCRIPTION
Thank you for purchasing the FLAME FIRE eurorack module!
The module is a full 8-way polyphonic drum and percussion synthesizer. It offers different
digital synthesis algorithms, which can be distributed over 8 channels. The sound engine
delivers digitally generated sounds that are created with virtual analog synthesis.
Individual algorithms also make it possible to create simple monophonic bass or synthe-
sizer voices.
During development, particular attention was paid to direct and simple usability with
regard to live operation. The hardware essentially consists of two parts (which are deli-
vered together). On the one hand there is the basic module with all controls, the display,
connections for MIDI, 2x CV inputs and 5 audio outputs. There is also a separate XFIRE
I/O extension with sockets for the 16 analog trigger/gate/CV inputs and 3 additional audio
outputs. Both modules are connected via a 60cm long ribbon cable. In this way, the
XFIRE module can be installed anywhere else in the rack. The base module is therefore
only 22TE wide and can also work alone without the extension as a MIDI expander.
A maximum of 8 audio outputs are available. A stereo pair (outputs 7+8), plus 6 additio-
nal individual direct outputs. All outputs are freely configurable. Two pages with settings
for panorama and volume are available for the stereo main out.
There is a gate/trigger input and a configurable CV input for each channel. Two additio-
nal programmable CV inputs can be used for further controls. Regardless of the analog
connection, the module offers full MIDI functionality. Two MIDI inputs and a MIDI output
allow integration into an external MIDI setup.
The firmware can be updated via MIDI Sysex. The created KIT and INSTRUMENT data
can also be saved or exchanged.
