• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, 1. Short description The module is a four-channel CV recorder/looper that records and plays back voltage curves from very slow speeds to faster speeds by moving the controllers. You can record control voltage courses from analogue sequencers, LFOs, envelope generators, joysticks etc.. The input/output CV of each channel can range from -5v..+5v or 0..+9v. SOURCE is the CV source of the track for the recordings. This can be the CV input, the poten- tiometer or both. ZOOM is a two stage fine adjust function of the control ruler. Synchronization via clock or MIDI and "punch-in" recordings are possible. The output is a smoothed voltage without audible incr

Connecting the module please note the right polarity! If the module is poled accidentally wrong safety diodes avoid the immediate destruction of the module but further damages cannot be excepted. So

• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, 3. QUICK START FIRST STEPS 1. Put in the backup battery before you start the module first time Put in the memory-backup-battery! Please use the provided 3v lithium backup battery (type CR2032) or a standard comparably battery. Please note the correct polarity: Positive pole outwards! After the first power-on the module starts automatically with the basic settings. 6

• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, FIRST STEPS POT RECORDER After the first startup you can use the module easily like a pot-recorder. You can record and play back the movements of the ruler separately of each track. Example Pot Recorder track 1 for control filter frequency: 1. Connect the output CV-1 with the CV input (filter frequency) of your external filter module. 2. Set SOURCE of track1 to POT: While hold down the button SHIFT SOURCE press the button REC-1 (as the case may be several times) until the REC-1 LED is red. 3. Turn the ruler 1 in

• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, 4. OPERATION 8 How you can change and display the settings: Make settings by means of a combination of buttons SHIFT + PLAY or REC. While you push down a button SHIFT the LEDs of buttons PLAY and REC display the settings via the LED colors. You find the color codes of the functions besides the SHIFT buttons. Change the black functions with buttons SHIFT + PLAY. Change the red functions with buttons SHIFT + REC. You can change the LINK modes directly with the button LINK. Example: Set the SOURCE of track 1 to POT : While you hold down the button SHIFT “SOURCE/ZOOM” push the button REC-1 (as the case may be several tim

• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, 9 SOURCE SOURCE is the CV source of the track for the recordings. This can be the CV input, the poten- tiometer or both. If the track is stopped, then the output holds on the last sample voltage. If you move the pot, then the output voltage switches to the voltage of the pot/input (SOURCE). The CV output has the voltage of SOURCE if the track is in record standby (REC is blinking red) and during the recording (PLAY+REC are constant red). SOURCE can be set seperatly for each track and each LINK mode. ZOOM ZOOM is a two stage fine adjust function of the control ruler. A small range around the current pot position is stretched over the

• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, 10 RANGE (OFFSET) You can set the voltage range of each track to bipolar or unipolar: RANGE can be: bipolar: -5v ... +5v (calibrated) unipolar: 0,1v ... +9v (calibrated) Input and output of the track have the same RANGE setting. It’s possible to reset the Range setting after recording. Input voltages outside of the range are ignored. RANGE +/-5v (bipolar -5v..+5v) RANGE +10v (unipolar 0,1v..+9v) POT OUT -5v +5v -5v...+5v CV-IN -5v...+5v 0...+9v CV-IN POT OUT 0v +9v 0..+9v

• RECORD (externe CLOCK=OFF) Before recording you have to stop the track and then you have to set the track in record stand- by mode. You can make it manually with the button REC or external via REC-input trigger. If the track is in record standby mode the button REC is blinking red. If you wish to disable the record standby mode, push the button REC again. You start the recording eithe

• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, PUNCH IN/OUT RECORDING While the track is played you can manually overwrite parts of the track. The old parts of the track are modified with the new recorded parts. Please note: the punch-in/out procedure is irreversible. You can use the punch in/out recording only manually via REC buttons! Also you can use PUNCH IN/OUT recording with slower or faster SPEED. 12 PLAY (play back of the original track) PUNCH IN push REC once only (new record begins) RECORD (overwriting runs - old record area is changed) PUNCH OUT push REC o

• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, PLAY MODE You have four different play back modes of the track: LOOP The play back runs endless (auto reset). START: Button PLAY, Trigger PLAY-Input or MIDI-START-command RESET: Button PLAY, Trigger PLAY-Input STOP: Button STOP+REC or MIDI-STOP-command SINGLE The play back runs once only and is stoped by end of the track. START: Button PLAY, Trigger PLAY-Input or MIDI-START-command STOP: End of sample, Button STOP+REC or MIDI-STOP-command GATE While hold down button PLAY or the GATE-input is high the play back runs endless. START: Pressed key PLAY or PLAY-Input=high oder MIDI-START-command STOP: Unpressed key PLAY or PLAY-Input=off or MIDI-STOP-command SCAN

• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, PLAY FUNCTIONS While the track is played you can control the parameters SPEED, START, LENGHT with pot or external CV input. You can set the functions separately for each track. Please note: it’s not possible to set the same function to pot and CV input. While you hold down the button SHIFT POT/CV push the button PLAY or REC (of the channel). For setup the pot use the keys SHIFT+PLAY For setup the pot use the keys SHIFT+REC OFF Pot`s and/or CV inputs have no play functions SPEED .. is the speed of the play back. The speed is not carried out with sample rate modifications, but interpolation of

• LINK All four channels can be used individually or in groups of two or four tracks at any one time (for multitrack or joystick recording). Stepping the mode directly with the key LINK. Please note: You can change the mode only in stop mode. The settings of functions SOURCE, CV-IN/POT and CLOCK can be independent for all three LINK modes OFF, ALL, DUAL. OFF LIN

• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, CLOCK (external synchronization) 1. ANALOG CLOCK HARD/SOFT Synchronization via analog clock (per REC/CLOCK inputs) or MIDI clock is possible. One value is sampled per clock. The more clocks the merrier the resolution of the sample. If you set the clock to “SOFT” then the output is a smoothed voltage without audible increments. Sometimes it is usefull to set the output without smoothing (example for notes). In this case choose the clock setting “HARD”. While you hold down the button SHIFT CLOCK push the button REC (of the channel) to set the CLOCK (Sync modes). HARD for direct voltage output (

• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, 2. MIDI CLOCK HARD/SOFT Synchronization via analog clock (per REC/CLOCK inputs) or MIDI clock are possible. One value is sampled per one MIDI tick (96 values per measure). If you set the clock to “SOFT” then the output is a smoothed voltage without audible increments. Sometimes if desired to set the output without smoothing (example for notes). In this case choo- se the clock setting “HARD”. While you hold down the button SHIFT CLOCK push the button REC (of the channel) to set the CLOCK (Sync modes). MIDI (SOFT) for direct v

• Flame QUAD CV RECORDER, FIRMWARE UPDATE You can easily update the firmware with a MIDI sysex dump. To do so, use a MIDI-sysex-dump- loader for example the freeware MIDI-OX or Electron C6 (win or mac). 1. Load the firmware sysex file to your computer. 2. Connect the MIDI interface of the computer with the MIDI input of the modul (jack REC-1/MIDI). Therefore you have to use the provided MIDI adapter accessory. 3. Hold down both keys LINK and STOP while you power on the module. The key LINK is blinking red. 4. Now send the Sysex firmware file to the module. While the update runs you can see the progress indicato

• 19 EXCHANGE BACKUP BATTERY Please use a standard 3v lithium backup battery (type CR2032). Please note the correct polarity: Positive pole outwards! ADVICE: You can conserve your data if the old battery is not complete empty. In this case exchange the battery while the module is power on. Otherwise the module starts automatically with the basic settings and clear the memory.
