The Meander-M from Flame is a hybrid synth voice with a wavetable oscillator, an animatable fixed filter bank and a live sequencer. The four-voice instrument draws its sonic foundation from a wavetable oscillator that can also process user waveforms. The sound engine can also be operated in unison, producing extremely fat, chorus-like sounds. Waveform and pitch can both be modulated via the two LFOs. As an alternative to wavetables, the oscillator can operate using an FM algorithm, enabling metallic and bell-like sounds. The sound spectrum is complemented by a noise generator and an audio input for external signals. The core of the Meander-M is the analog fixed filter bank, which contains twelve fixed bands of 24 dB each. Each band can be controlled by the sequencer and modulated with its own envelope. The twelve bands are freed from their static behavior by a mixable combination of the two LFOs and the ADSR envelope. Scanning from band to band, abrupt jumps or random band sweeps allow for tonal variations that give the Meander-M a unique character. The basic filter type can also be customized with eight variants.
The sequencer can record up to 15 tracks, each up to four bars long. This includes the synth part with the wavetable oscillator, the audio input, the noise generator and each of the 12 bands of the fixed filter bank. In addition, the handy SHOTS function can be used to create a beat effect for all tracks, adjustable in terms of velocity, clock grid, repetition density and gate time. Live variation hardly gets any more flexible!
The audio input can be switched between line and high-Z (guitar). This allows external signals to be shaped using the fixed filter bank, envelope, VCA and LFOs. Everything is possible here, from subtle filtering to extremely dynamic, continuously modulating filter sequences. The user can choose whether this is applied freely or synced to a defined BPM. A pair of stereo outputs routes the audio signal from the Meander-M to the next device. In terms of MIDI, the synth voice is well equipped: in addition to USB MIDI, there are two MIDI inputs as well as Thru and Out, allowing convenient integration into any MIDI setup. Dedicated audio outputs for the oscillator and noise, as well as a freely assignable CV input, are also included.
