23 Engines, 407 Sounds! Clipper 1.0 for the M-VAVE FM-1

video upload by PhilipsKnobs

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon. "The creators of SLOOP are back with another custom firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1! CLIPPER 1.0, an experimental firmware that turns the FM-1 into a much deeper polyphonic synthesizer.

With 23 synthesis engines and 407 sounds, Clipper covers everything from classic FM and analogue-style synths to wavetable, vector synthesis, physical modelling, granular sounds, chiptune and much more.

In this video, I'm taking a first look at Clipper, playing some sound demos and having a quick look at the browser-based editor. There's a lot to explore, so this is just a basic overview of what it can do.

CLIPPER 1.0 is experimental. The developer warns that it has had limited testing on the actual FM-1, so expect possible bugs, audio clicks, CPU load issues or storage problems. Back up your projects and sounds before installing, follow the instructions carefully, and proceed at your own risk.
