So, I'm pleased to present the official release of firmware B16 for the M-Wave FM-1, which includes the following major changes:

8-Part Multitimbral Architecture: You can now layer up to 8 different sounds or play 8 independent patches simultaneously via separate MIDI channels.
Expanded Polyphony: Total synthesis voices increased from 12 to 20, dynamically shared across all 8 parts.
Upgraded Sequencer Grid: Up to 64 steps (increased from 16) with a brand-new 8-track, 8-column arrangement layout for seamless live playback.
- Global Stereo FX Architecture: The 6 built-in effects are now fully stereo. However, they now function as a single shared global FX chain for all 8 voices. Changing individual voice presets no longer alters the shared FX settings.
Per-Voice Tuning & Pan: Each of the 8 parts features independent volume, level, pan, and fine-tuning (-100 to +100 cents).
Expanded MIDI CC Control: Added support for MIDI CC11 (Expression), CC7 (Master Volume), and dedicated CC70–93 range for external FX modulation.
Enhanced Workflow: Features direct patch import/export, DX7 standard SysEx (.syx) bank transmission, and customizable RGB UI color schemes.
