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.

Free firmware and source download — 1.0 test release

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."

Oberwave firmware for M-Vave SMK 37 by Zvenson - ‪@sonzven‬

video upload by Stefan Dahl

You can find the M-Vave SMK on Amazon.

"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."

How to make the Korg Minilogue XD sound like a Roland JP-8000

video upload by MrSynthmania

"Transform your Korg Minilogue XD into a trance legend!

Get the bundle of 16 Oscillator-Models here: https://synthmania.de/produkt/minilog...

Get the iconic Roland JP-8000 SUPERSAW sound as a digital User Oscillator – with the same parameters as the original.

This is part of my complete Bundle with additional 15 powerful User Oscillators for the Minilogue XD and NTS-1 (MKi).

In this video I’m showing the SUPERSAW in a short trance track and walking through some of the custom parameters:

🎛️ Phase – Control the massive width of the 7 supersaw waves
🎛️ Mix – Balance the dry and detuned signals perfectly
🎛️ Brightness – Open up the filter character for piercing leads
🎛️ SubOsc – Add massive low-end to your supersaw patches
🎛️ Octave Switch – Choose between 1 or 2 octaves for the SubOsc
🎛️ Drive – Boost the punch of the sound

Perfect for owners of the Minilogue XD who want classic trance and progressive sounds."

"This oscillator was written from the ground up in C++ for maximum efficiency and sonic uncompromising quality. Instead of simply stacking standard sawtooth waves, the code uses mathematical refinements otherwise found only in high-end plugins:

Original detune behavior: The oscillator calculates the phase behavior of 7 synchronized sawtooths using the exact asymmetric detune ratios of the original Roland JP-8000.

Fully band-limited: By employing optimized band-limited sawtooth algorithms, the sound stays absolutely clean and free of annoying aliasing even in the highest notes.

Analog-modulated filter design: Inside the code runs a cascade of four highpass filters plus a specialized high-shelf EQ based on BiQuad filter structures. This delivers an extremely clean bass range and silky highs.

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."

3rd Party Unofficial Sequential Prophet‑5 / Prophet‑10 Rev4 Firmware Mods

via GitHub

prophet-rev4-mods

version 2.3.0

An arpeggiator and a polyphonic step sequencer for the Sequential Prophet‑5 / Prophet‑10 Rev4, added to Sequential's own Main OS 2.1.0 as a firmware patch. You apply the patch to your copy of the official OS in your browser and install the result over USB like any OS update. Everything is controlled from the front panel.

Built on someone else's idea. The notion of patching the Rev4's firmware, and the proof that it works, belong to another person: an arpeggiator mod that circulated privately showed the way and set the control conventions this project keeps (A440 as the arp button, Bank/Group for modes, Glide Rate for tempo). This project began as additions chained in front of that mod and makes several additions — the polyphonic sequencer with rests and ties, the keyboard octave shift, tap tempo, patch memory, tempo divisions, and more.

New here? The walkthrough takes you through every feature at the instrument, step by step; the manual below is the reference.

Not affiliated with Sequential. This is a hobby project that modifies the instrument's firmware. Installing a modified OS is at your own risk and may void your warranty. Only the project's own code, tooling and notes are published here; Sequential's OS files are not redistributed, which is why you supply your own copy.

TinyGreg added a sampler to the Elektron Model:Cycles (and a lot more) | Model-TG

video upload by TinyGreg

"A laid-back walkthrough of Model-TG, my free, open-source firmware additions for the Elektron Model:Cycles (OS 1.13). Everything the Cycles already does still works; this adds a full Sampler machine and a pile of new features on top.

Flash your own copy of Model-TG here (you need your own copy of the OS stock firmware:
https://tinygregaudio.github.io/Model...

Source, user guide and every button combo:
https://github.com/TinyGregAudio/Mode...

What's in it:
• A Sampler machine on any track: per-pattern samples, sample locks, reverse, a waveform view
• Seven playback modes: One shot, Loop, Slice, Granular, Stretch, Pluck and Wave (wavetables)
• Slice by equal size, transient or two kinds of manual chopping.
• Resampling of a track, the whole mix, or your computer's audio over USB
• Stereo samples, and uploading your own WAVs with Elektron Transfer
• A performance page with beat-repeat and 12 master FX
• Attack, Filter and Resonance on all the stock machines
• Slide trigs: glide any p-locked parameter from one trig to the next
• Scale Lock, a CPU/memory page, and lower CPU use overall

Thanks to drumkilla (elektron-model-tweaks) for the latching mute, trig preview and browser scroll tweaks, and to mischa85 for elektron-firmware-tool.

Augur v1.5 Update - more options, more musical, full Push support, self-modulation, and more

video upload by ijo audio

"Augur v1.5 is by far my biggest update I've ever released to one of my devices. Many of you wrote to me with ideas and I've incorporated almost all of them and I think Augur is truly so much better thanks to all your suggestions.

Included in this free update:
Augur can now self-modulate! This means the modulation section can now modulate the parameters of Augur itself. It feels like a very modular concept to be able to feed the modulations back into the various controls of Augur. I particularly enjoy this with the Speed control.
Longer pattern lengths (up to 32 steps).
Longer (slower) sequencer speeds plus new dotted and triplet speeds.
A new Gravity control makes the generative nature of Augur feel less random and more truly in key. (thanks to ‪@HumanSynthetics‬ for his wisdom on this)
As of Live 12.4 we can finally use the modulation mapping section on the Push without using the computer at all. This is very cool and a huge thanks to ⁨@Ableton⁩ for allowing this to finally happen! My implementation was modeled after the stock LFO device and you can now select any of the 8 mod lanes, map them, adjust them, etc. (You'll need Live 12.4 for this feature to work)"

JIANT FM / (almost) EVERY FEATURE

video upload by JIANT

"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?
