FLAME SIX-IN-A-ROW brief description 10/2009

The FLAME “Six-In-A-Row” is a universal MIDI-sequencer / con-

troller which can be used as a stand-alone MIDI device but also

as a remote for PC/Mac via MIDI (not USB!). It can be put into

standard application or into MIDI remote mode booting with

nently per USB (only with PC).

In boot sequence you can select the standard application (now

the MIDI-phrase-sequencer) or the MIDI remote function. After

power-on please push down the yellow key (right bottom) to

activate the select menu. Follow the display messages:

Push the left yellow button for the MIDI-phrase-sequencer or the

right yellow button for the MIDI-remote-unit. Now the selected

programm is loading. For the next power-on: The unit started

always automaticly with the last selected program.

CONNECTIONS

MORE INFORMATIONS, DOWNLOADS AND THE FULL MANUAL ON: http://flame.fortschritt-musik.de

The remote mode offers the possibility to communicate with a

PC/Mac via MIDI (not USB!). A relatively simple protocol is impli-

mented which is based on MIDI control change and on note com-

mands. This makes it possible to put the LEDs and the LCD display

individually. The key buttons and the endless control dial send

the according note / control change data. Up to 16 devices can be

run at the same time using different MIDI channels.

With the aid of MAX/MSP, PURE DATA, REAKTOR or with LOGIC

ENVIRONMENT you can programme your own applications.

MIDI-REMOTE-UNIT

The first standard application is a MIDI phrase sequencer. It ope-

rates independantely from PC/Mac as a single hardware tool. The

sequencer is planned as a performance tool.

It possesses 5 tracks: 2 MELODY tracks and 3 DRUM tracks.

Unlike to the step sequencer the sequences are generated-mani-

pulated-recorded here directly. At your disposal are precast

rhythm patterns (phrases, beat/pulse) which can be combined

arbitrarily. The generated pattern is at most 4 measures long but

the particular measure parts can be switched on/off independan-

tely from each other during the performance. That makes varia-

tions of the pattern cycle easily possible.

To each sequencer track can be assigned one own MIDI channel .

The pattern can be back upped in the internal EEPROM.

Synchronisation is possible per external MIDI clock. The sending

of MIDI clock at external synchronisation can be switched off.
