Description

An overview of the new official open-source firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1! Featuring an 8-track, 64-step sequencer, six sound engines including samples, and a browser-based workbench. Sound engines include DX7, 808 KIT, 303 BASS, PLUCK, PSG (chiptune), and SAMPLER. You can install the new Open firmware using the Workbench linked below. *The official M-VAVE "Open" firmware is a different branch, and different versioning, than the closed source official M-VAVE firmware that the FM-1 ships with. FM-1 Workbench - https://open.m-vave.com/fm1-workbench FM-1 Open Source - https://github.com/m-vave/fm1_open FM-1 Amazon - http://referrals.substatica.com/?sku=m-vave-fm-1 FM-1 AliExpress - https://referrals.substatica.com/?sku=ali-express-m-vave M-VAVE now offers two official firmwares, each with their own independent versioning. The closed source firmware that ships on the device, currently at version 15, and this new open-source firmware called "Open", seen in this video at version 13. Version 14 of "Open" has since been released. FM-1 is a true frequency-modulation synthesizer in your pocket. Six independent sine-wave operators combine through 32 algorithms to recreate the iconic timbres of the FM era — pianos, strings, brass, basses and electronic synths. It comes loaded with 128 factory tones and a color TFT screen that draws the live algorithm structure and oscillator waveform. A 27-key silicone piano-layout keyboard with OCT-/OCT+ over 8 octaves, MONO/POLY voicing (up to 12-voice polyphony), six built-in effects (Filter / Reverb / Delay / Distortion / Chorus / Phaser), a 7-mode arpeggiator and 16-step sequencer turn it into a complete creation rig. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dark Signal Patch Bank - https://drones.substatica.com/dark-signal/ 32 voices of dark drones, cold pads, industrial metal and sci-fi horror. Voiced on the M-VAVE FM-1 and saved as a standard DX7 bank, so it loads on any synth that reads DX7 patches. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 00:00 - Intro 00:25 - Live mute and solo 00:51 - DX7 engine 01:48 - Select, Edit DX7 patch 02:28 - Select pattern 02:31 - 303 Bass engine 02:38 - Live FX adjustment 04:08 - BPM adjustment 04:17 - Select track source engine 04:48 - SAMPLER engine 06:02 - PLUCK engine 06:58 - 808 KIT engine 07:21 - Drum adjustments 09:43 - Loading custom samples 10:32 - Playing custom samples 11:30 - LoadingFactory or User patterns 11:58 - Composing a pattern 12:02 - 808 KIT composing 12:10 - Grid editor 13:51 - SAMPLER composing 13:57 - Sample pitch adjustment 14:03 - Sample length adjustment 14:19 - Sample choke (cut-off) 14:47 - Live recording 15:08 - Clear a page 15:43 - Clear a track 16:14 - DX7 composing 16:17 - Select DX7 patch 16:38 - Live recording 18:20 - Fixing mistakes 18:37 - Clear step, turn on step 18:59 - Step and sequence options 19:08 - Long notes (note length), enable step TIE 19:59 - Octave up/down 20:34 - Live recording 20:51 - Sequence length (number of steps), metronome (CLICK) 21:00 - Long notes (note length), enable step TIE 21:50 - Arpeggiator ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ substatica Discord - https://discord.gg/nSfzvr4qWh ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Buy Me a Coffee - https://www.buymeacoffee.com/substatica One Time Donation - https://streamlabs.com/substatica/tip PayPal - https://paypal.me/substatica Merch - http://store.substatica.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #fm1 #mvave #fm1 #mvavefm1 #open #v13 #synth #official #firmware #flashing #ambient #cinematic #AliExpressInfluencerProgram
