Description

Tonitor takes the M-VAVE FM-1 into darker, stranger territory with free loops, evolving textures, generative sound and an experimental workflow built for exploration. Tonitor is a firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1 for electroacoustic experimentation, live ambient music and sound exploration. Tonitor features 6 tracks, 12 voices, 8 engines, generative paths, two LFO's with routing and more! Tonitor Firmware - https://nzimas.github.io/tonitor/install.html FM-1 Amazon - http://referrals.substatica.com/?sku=m-vave-fm-1 FM-1 AliExpress - https://referrals.substatica.com/?sku=ali-express-m-vave 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 00:09 - 6 tracks, 12 voices, 7 engines, generative paths 00:13 - Right most black key is SHIFT 00:17 - Latch/hold a note (KEY+SHIFT) 00:23 - Filter adjust (KNOB1) 00:35 - Grain adjust (KNOB2) 00:58 - Crush adjust (KNOB3) 01:36 - Delay adjust (SHIFT+KNOB4) 01:55 - Distortion adjust (SHIFT+KNOB3) 02:02 - Unlatch/release a note (SHIFT+KEY) 02:09 - Envelope adjust (C#) 02:14 - Attack adjust (KNOB1) 02:18 - Decay adjust (KNOB2) 02:22 - Sustain adjust (KNOB3) 02:25 - Release adjust (KNOB4) 02:53 - Root note and scale (ARP) 03:54 - Toggle chord mode (HOLD A#) 04:43 - FX adjust (SEQ) 04:51 - LFO adjust (SEQ) 05:19 - Change engine (PRESETS) 05:54 - Arm track loop record (REC) 06:14 - Double speed (A#) 06:26 - Half speed (G#) 06:32 - Random (F#) 06:38 - Pendulum (D#) 06:43 - Reverse (C#) 07:02 - Arm another loop layer record (REC) 07:26 - Select tracks 1-6 (FX, SEL, ENV, LFO, EDIT, GLO) 07:57 - BRICKLAYER step sequencer (SHIFT+C#) 08:18 - Play BRICKLAYER (PLAY) 09:32 - BALLSY bouncing ball sequencer (SHIFT+D#) 09:36 - Play BALLSY (PLAY) 11:09 - Transpose loop (SHIFT OCT+/-) 11:53 - Ambient generative path (F#) 11:58 - Experimental generative path (G#) 12:50 - 12 voices are shared across 6 tracks ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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 #synth #tonitor #firmware #dark #ambient #drone #cinematic #AliExpressInfluencerProgram
