Description
I unbox a new M-VAVE FM-1 and show how to install custom firmware from scratch.

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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*Sound track composed on the FM-1 using SLOOP firmware.
