MYCELIUM 1.0: Forest, Psytrance, Goa & Hitech Firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1

video upload by matrixsynth

Note: the video above and details below are in via megagott.

"MYCELIUM is a free, open-source alternative firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1 by Lars Knacken / Mandalars, built on Felucca and SLOOP. The project focuses on Forest, Psytrance, Goa and Hitech grooves, with original drum assets and icons and four factory songs.

Version 1.0 is available as a public GitHub test release, with the installable .fwsc package and corresponding source archive available without registration. The repository includes an original photograph of MYCELIUM running on a real FM-1, upstream credits, licensing and build information.

The supplied 24-second clip shows the actual project FM-1 with its recorded device audio, short intro/outro and no added music. It is a brief demonstration, not a complete validation of all functions. Installation and reboot are documented; a full physical listening and controls test remains outstanding. Back up your work and read the installation and recovery information before flashing.

Independent project, with no official M-VAVE affiliation. The separate MYCELIUM browser instrument uses a different sound engine and should not be presented as a hardware firmware sound demo."

FM-1 NOIZ DEMONS OS by SPIKE the Percussionist

video upload by thenoiztempl

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"NOIZ DEMONS turns randomization on the FM-1 into a summoning. Every time you roll a new sound, one of 30 demons of the Ars Goetia answers, its sigil takes over the screen, and its rank in the infernal hierarchy decides how far it's allowed to drag your sound away from where it was. A Knight barely touches it. A King tears it down to nothing and builds something new."

"A sound demo of the Oberwave firmware for the SMK 37. Early beta, but sounds very, very nice, with the exception of a few presets where the decay seems to be set to zero by some bug. Both pitch and modulation wheels work as they should. A few patches with high CPU usage have a slight input lag. In this version the last four knobs duplicate the four sliders. This firmware has amazing potential!"

https://rustypawz.github.io/fm1-HYP1/

HYP-1 turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a hypnotic techno and acid machine. It plays from the moment it's switched on: a breathing pad, a deep drone, a generative 303 line and grain, over drums you sequence. You shape the voices like a small modular, flip patterns on the bar, break it down, build it up, and record the whole performance into your DAW.

Generative Ambient Machine (AMB-1) Inspired by Brian Eno's Music for Airports for the M-VAVE FM1

video upload by DECIMA1

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"Today I cover the FM-1 Generative Ambient Machine (AMB-1) get it here: https://charlesvestal.github.io/fm1-a..."


"A generative ambient machine, inspired by Brian Eno's Music for Airports. It plays itself from the moment it's switched on. You don't perform it, you tend it: pick a piece and a scale, take notes out, put them back, and let it grow.

THE GARDEN

Pad. Four breathing voices, a Rhodes or sung voices, each swelling and fading on its own cycle, so the chord forms and dissolves. Now and then it drifts to another chord in the scale.

Bells. Soft FM bells on four tape loops 13, 17, 23 and 29 beats long, sliding against each other so the melody never quite repeats.

Bass. The chord's root, low and gliding.

Pulse. A thump and two hats on Euclidean patterns of 16, 12 and 7 steps.

Space. A tape echo, a long tape loop and a plate reverb: most of what you hear. REC freezes the chord and lets the reverb ring on forever.

Eight pieces, each remembering how you left it. The keys are the scale: press one to take its note out or put it back. A slow tide between sparse and full, and rests now and then, keep it moving for hours."

Perfect Partners: How to hook up your M-Vave FM-1 to Circuit Tracks

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon. See dealers on the right for Circuit Tracks.

"I bought an M-VAVE FM-1 to add to my Circuit Tracks.

I love Yamaha DX sounds (checkout my previous MiniDEXED build and songs to see how much) and I think they work well with the Circuit Tracks. Building an equivalent MiniDEXED (like this one) now has ballooned to over $100USD* so at around $60 or so this is a much cheaper and interesting option.

Better screen
Bluetooth MIDI
Rubber keyboard
Easier interface
NO DIY

The numerous daily new firmwares adding new features and the very tempting price on the FM-1 was too much to resist so - here we are.

Fluyt - Felucca synth engines for Korg drumlogue & microKORG2

And via Regroove | RGRV on reddit:

"This is generated code, but mostly with my own code as reference (such as examples, build infra).

Don't want the FM-1 to have all the fun by themselves. Let's join them ..."

via https://rgrvdotnl.itch.io/fluyt-logue

"Fluyt - Felucca's engines for logue

Felucca is an open firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1, a small synthesizer built around a JieLi pi32v2 DSP. Its sound engines are plain integer C, self-contained, and each one is a different way of 'whistling'. Fluyt takes nine of them and ships each as its own KORG drumlogue or KORG microKORG2 unit.

This is based on Felucca and associated FM-1 firmware which is mostly AI-assisted code. Personal examples, units, and build-infra code were used to create these units.

Why Fluyt?
The name is symbolic, as fluyt is a kind of Dutch vessel, mostly used for trade during the 16th century. Just like in the old days, I hope this 'trading' will happen between the communities. And, the word also means whistle."

Side note: Felucca is by Hügelton Instruments. You can find additional posts mentioning Felucca here.

Polly: a pocket arranger for the M-VAVE FM-1

video upload by Charles Vestal

You can find the M-VAVE FM-1 on Amazon.

"Polly is free firmware that turns the M-VAVE FM-1 into a pocket arranger, inspired by the Yamaha QY70. Play a chord, and a band of eight instruments follows it.

16 styles, each with an Intro, two grooves, fills and an Ending
Write your own chord progressions, and build songs from them, section by section
Record two melodies along the song, and fix any note in the piano roll
128 General MIDI sounds and a drum kit, with a mixer, reverb and chorus
Make your own grooves, save up to four songs, and back them up from the browser
Play from a MIDI keyboard, send MIDI to your computer, and mirror the screen

New in 0.4: melodies start as a choir, and the Ending stays in tune when you ask for it mid-song.

Install from Chrome or Edge, or try it in your browser first: https://charlesvestal.github.io/fm1-p...

"JIANT FM v0.6.29 — Pushing the M-VAVE FM-1 Further

JIANT FM has reached v0.6.29!

I'm developing JIANT FM as an experimental custom firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1, building on Felucca and the work of the open-source synth community.

What started as a firmware modification has grown into a much broader instrument concept focused on synthesis, modulation, sound mutation, sequencing, and live performance.

My goal isn't simply to add more presets or effects. I want the FM-1 to feel like a living system — an instrument where rhythms, timbres, and parameters can constantly evolve, interact, and transform while you play.

What's inside JIANT FM?
