TAKT is an eight-track sequencer from Flame with the usual intuitive input features. The 30 TE wide module offers a high function density with a manageable operating range. TAKT is primarily designed for triggering drum modules and sample players, but of course it can also be used to control a synth voice and interlocking sequences in an ambient patch. The module has eight tracks with eight CV/velocity and gate outputs and full MIDI functionality. MIDI? Yes, TAKT can not only be synchronized to other MIDI equipment, it can also be used to control the desktop expander! The CV track can be used as a CV source independently of the trigger track. In addition to input via the TR grid, TAKT offers the option of recording events in looper mode via the four distance sensors or in Euclid mode. Cool real-time functions such as muting,
Another highlight are the four LFOs, which always follow the clock with different dividers/multipliers and have 26 waveforms to choose from. The waveforms can be modified via amplitude modulation by adding a second waveform. For example, if you combine a square wave with a sawtooth, the resulting waveform is a decaying square wave. If you add the phase shift, you can achieve quadrature modulation. The output voltage can be individually adjusted and modules can also be modulated to the point without an attenuator.
To ensure that the patterns and modulations created are not unique, 50 scenes can be saved. A scene contains five patterns (A-D and Fill) as well as all settings of the four LFOs and other parameters; that's a total of 250 patterns. Clock and reset inputs and outputs are available for synchronization, the MIDI inputs and outputs are used to send and receive
