The Flame μ16MCC MIDI CC-to-CV module is a compact MIDI interface, which converts received MIDI control change commands on 16 outputs into CV voltages between 0 and + 5V. Each of the outputs can be assigned to a separate control change number between 0 and 127 on its own MIDI channel. The module is programmable via the LEARN function with a MIDI keyboard and MIDI controllers, or via SYSEX commands.

In this video, all sounds are triggered using the Flame μMCLK Midi-to-Clock Divider, which is daisy-chained to the μ16MCC thanks to MIDI via TRS 3,5mm cable. It outputs various clock dividers that are derived from the MIDI clock. Some rhythms have been shifted to create off-beats.

The μ16MCC provides modulation control voltages (CV) which are coming from control change commands (CC) generated in a DAW. They modulate various destinations such as hi-hat length and filtering, reverb intensity and the cutoff of the master high-pass filter, creating an entire arrangement!

The MeloDICER is Vermona‘s vision of a sequencer with the perfect balance between stochastic and deterministic creation of rhythm and melody. Its algorithms generate random values that magically turn into musical events.

The melody sequencer offers twelve faders for setting the note probability (from C to B), and two faders to set the range (lowest and highest note). The rhythm is controlled by the four knobs.

In the first part of this video we toggle between real-time and DICE mode. In real-time mode the MeloDICER continuously generates new random values, based on the parameters you set for the corresponding section. In the second part we take the MeloDicer from total chaos to harmony.

The AJH Synth Entropic Doom is a voltage controlled noise based oscillator, or "noisillator".

It allows for a wide range of tuned noise sounds, with ring modulation and a logic-based VCA. The noise is in a feedback loop with a band-pass filter (resonator) and a low-pass filter with 2, 3, or 4-pole modes. The module also features an audio input and two outputs: bright and dark.

In the first part of this video we use the Entropic Doom to generate filtered noise and distort an external input signal. In the second part, the module serves as a sound source for hi-hats.
