The Flame PAPAGEI is a two-track CV looper for Eurorack that quantizes and plays back sequences on a 16th-note grid. It runs off an external clock and loops continuously—up to 16 bars per track, with individually adjustable loop length.
What makes the PAPAGEI unusual is its recording method. There's no record button. Instead, the module listens for any 1V/Oct signal present as long as the input gate is active and writes it directly to the selected track (or both). When playing over an existing loop, the new notes simply replace the old ones step by step. This also allows for bends (glides) as long as the gate is active. Short gates between two 16th notes are automatically interpreted as retrigger steps, and a short note cuts off a longer one.
It takes a moment to adjust your thinking, but once you get into the flow, the whole process feels completely natural – like sketching out melodic ideas in real time without ever stopping the tape. The loop length can be changed at any time during playback, making the PAPAGEI a fun companion for jams and live sessions.
Reset, clear, and mute buttons for each track complete the package. RESET (manually via button or via input) resets the loop to the beginning at the next 16th-note clock pulse. MUTE mutes playback/recording, and any notes still being played pass through in real time. CLEAR deletes the active position on the selected track, or CLEAR+SELECT deletes the entire track instantly. The 1V/octave range covers eight octaves. CLOCK IN
