A Streamlined Classic! Mäander-M Wavetable Synth with Analog Filterbank & Sequencer

The Flame MÄANDER-M is a compact reimagining of a well-regarded classic from the Flame lineup — now more affordable and streamlined, but still packed with the same sonic depth. At its core is a wavetable synth engine, fed into the 12-channel analog bandpass filter bank, controlled by the internal pattern sequencer.  

Sound sources include a polyphonic wavetable and FM oscillator, an analog white noise generator and an external audio input. The internal sequencer offers one polyphonic note track (up to 4-voice chords) and 14 mono tracks. The latter are dedicated to the filter channels, the audio input, and the noise source. Each track has its own VCA with individual envelope control and is accessible via MIDI notes.  

Patterns can be created and saved as patches, and played live with ease. The built-in arpeggiator and keyboard scaler make the MÄANDER a powerful tool for live jamming and generative sequencing. Updates, patch management, and wavetable loading are handled conveniently via MIDI SysEx.  

New in this version: direct oscillator output, stereo noise output, and stereo audio input. Mäander comes fully mounted in a powered 56HP wooden skiff to get started right away.   

The Mäander module comes with a custom-made 56HP Eurorack case. Consisting of black anodised aluminium half-shells with wooden side panels, the case has a desk-style design. It includes a built-in power supply (+5V, +12V and -12V, each with an output current of 500 mA) and a plug-in power supply (9–18 V, 18 W), and can therefore also be used as a separate Eurorack case with other modules. The case is manufactured entirely in Germany, and the elegant wooden side panels are crafted from locally sourced wood, including cherry and elm.
