At Superbooth 2025, held May 8-10 at the FEZ-Berlin, Flame Instruments introduced the Maeander-M, a wavetable synthesizer with analog filterbank and sequencer in 56HP.

This video, via Sonic State, captures an overview an demo of the Maeander-M from the Superbooth floor.

Here’s what Flame has to say about the Maeander-M:

“The Flame MAEANDER-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 MAEANDER 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. MAEANDER comes fully mounted in a powered 56HP wooden skiff to get started right away and is software compatible with the older desktop version.”

Pricing and Availability:

The Maeander-M is expected to be available in September 2025, priced around €900.
