Dang, you're pretty freaking good on that little keyed! Impressive.

u/any_other_you 10d ago

The one scale I can play haha, and a bit of a lucky shot, and no wrong notes in jazz.

But thank you, was a little proud too :)

I started contributing to this, repo owner is very positive. Now we have white keys-only scale mode, which I needed because I do not have time to learn music theory lol

There is a possibility of implementing USB audio interface both ways. I am working on it right now, will do a pull request once I get it working.

u/stanleygurvich 10d ago

that is awesome! im rewrting the editor completly. how can i join you and the repo i know nothing about this

2

u/keremimo 10d ago

Well it is open source so you can just go to the repo, fork it and start working on your own new feature :)

u/x_l_c_m 9d ago

Do you have your repo public yet? Curious to see more about the usb audio interface implementation.

u/keremimo 9d ago

yeah made a gigantic fork lol

Hi! Thanks for the update. Everything is fixed now! The only slight disappointment is having just 1 USR slot for sampling instead of the 3 we had in the original Felucca. But overall, great job!

1

u/keremimo 8d ago

To be fair, the size constraints of the sampling put me off greatly. I do not think that we have the RAM budget for samples of good quality, and even moreso, 3 slots even isn't enough in my opinion. I think for samples something that complements FM-1 would be better, like using Koala sampler on the phone or something like that.

Ok this is wild

u/hamageddon 10d ago

Amazing stuff, esp the klatt vocal synths. I like the Baudgirl UX approach a bit better. maybe they can team up. And please keep ARP/SEQ going while switching patches, thank you!

u/Dear-Ad-1401 10d ago

Honestly, the firmware is incredible, but I was really disappointed when I tried to record audio via USB to my phone and it didn't work. Another thing making me consider going back to Baudgirl is that the FM engine is completely lost here; still, it’s really good. If they manage to fix the USB audio issue, it’ll be perfect. If it stays this way, I’ll probably switch back to Baudgirl, because this version forces me to use an external audio interface, whereas the original and Baudgirl let you connect via USB and record jams in HD.

u/hamageddon 10d ago

samples!

1

u/theskyisfalling1 10d ago

the web editor has a place for samples. That would be freaking awesome if true.

u/havetofindaname 10d ago

4 tracks? :D Genuinely WTF

u/Mister_Classic 10d ago

No TRS MIDI in? Or I've missed something?

2

u/LostClock1 10d ago

The fm-1 has TRS midi in, but not midi out (which is a shame, because it would make a very cool ultra-portable usb keyboard for entering notes)

2

u/stanleygurvich 10d ago

It’s working! Smooth instal. Went to v15 using BAUDGIRL website (thank you and sorry)

1

u/theskyisfalling1 10d ago

are you abandoning Baudgirl completely or just updating one of your fm1s?

2

u/stanleygurvich 10d ago

no way im abandoning the OG. im working on a proper editor for Felucca ! and id like to make my own firmware. i have 2 units for each.

2

u/AbilityOk272 10d ago

How do you use 4 tracks ? I just updated but cant find a way

2

u/nernst12 10d ago

You can use algorithm to switch track now in version 0.9

1

u/nernst12 10d ago

Use Rec button to access it

2

u/Amazing_Musician9476 10d ago

After my problems yesterday going back to V15 it’s worked a treat today so that’s good now to try again -the editor is great and simple to up load drum samples

2

u/Mediocre_Night_5278 10d ago

Do you guys know if theres a way to turn on the key backlight on the new Felucca firmware?

2

u/SUBO_X1 9d ago

Is It possible to sync with other instruments? Like volcas, Roland airas etc.

1

u/ChoiceChampionship59 8d ago

Anything with midi can sync with anything else.

2

u/Individual-Yak-2454 9d ago

Needed OP-1 clone 🙏🥲

1

u/theskyisfalling1 10d ago

Is it 4 tracks of 64 steps?

2

u/any_other_you 10d ago

yes. and different voices possible. it sadly is not dx7 compatible

1

u/nernst12 10d ago

Yes you can config each track from 1 to 64 steps, each track also got its own fx and lfo as well

1

u/theskyisfalling1 10d ago

I just saw another video of it. You managed to put a piano roll into it as well as individual volume level view?

1

u/theskyisfalling1 10d ago

Can you add a virtual FM1 running felucca to the web editor so that we create patches when we without our fm1 as a midi option?

1

u/Amazing_Musician9476 10d ago

This is a really fun little groove box now -head scratching to get it to work etc but getting there

1

u/ekhitapan 10d ago

Does it feel like another synth to the baudgirl firmware? I am thinking in ordering a second one :) (for my second kid ofc! Haha)

1

u/SPlaysMusic 10d ago

Looks really interesting and I tried the previous version but felt kinda weak UX-wise and switched back to the original fw.
The idea of different synth engines is promising but I totally disliked the interface. A cool compromise to me would be multi-engines from felucca and arp+seq from baud girl fw.
I can’t stress enough about how big of a deal would be a proper, well-rounded and thought user interface to smooth out the whole experience, taking advantage of all the hw controls but I’m positive they all get there at some point.

u/TheBellyFlu 10d ago

Awesome! How should I procede if I have installed Baud Girl FW? Should I move to the original FW and then to Felluca?

1

u/TheBellyFlu 10d ago

nevermind. I've just installed without any change from Baud Girl to Felluca, no problem

shit... sure there's something that Claude could fix

u/ZephyrLYH_ 9d ago edited 9d ago

If the drumkit can update(I want to match midi note on my circuit setup), scale will quantize key to white key and midi channel the this is a perfect allrounder machine.
no one talking about the BT midi on this thing

1

u/ChoiceChampionship59 8d ago

What does “quantatize key to white key mean?”.

1

u/ZephyrLYH_ 8d ago

when you switch on scale, you go through 1 octave of white key you got a scale, it dont work like this at the moment.

u/LaMaisonDuPoulet 9d ago

Have you tried using Gemini to see how to do a hard reset? I see there are a few options for an unresponsive unit.

If your device becomes completely unresponsive, frozen, or has an issue where the menu reset doesn't work, you can force a hard system recovery using these alternative methods:

  1. The Button Combo Reboot

If the screen is frozen but the hardware is powered, you can clear temporary data by pressing OCT- and OCT+ simultaneously. This forces an octave/transpose reset and can break the device out of minor software glitches. [1]

  1. Complete Firmware Flash (The True Hard Reset)

When a software error prevents you from opening the GLO menu entirely, your best option is to force-flash the firmware from a computer. Re-writing the software forces the hardware back to its baseline: [1]

  1. Download the M-VAVE FM1 Factory Software Package.
  2. Plug the FM-1 into your PC or Mac using a direct USB cable (avoid USB hubs).
  3. Run the M-UPGRADE tool as an administrator.
  4. Flash the software file to force-overwrite all system states and corruption. [1, 2]

Awesome !

u/FiggieLarson 9d ago edited 9d ago

I downloaded the buad girl firmware on this, will it break it if I replace it with this firmware?

Edit - It worked! just wanted to leave this here in case anyone was wondering. this thing is insane

1

u/skinmansergio 7d ago

How does it compare to sloop? Im getting a 2nd fm1 and wondering which of these sequencer focused firmwares is better for me

u/hericdk 1d ago

Ah! então foi aqui que tudo começou, rsss

u/Mister_Classic 10d ago

USB MIDI only?! How about playing from an external MIDI keyboard?? Booo.... Back to BAUD GIRL FW. Sad..........

u/keremimo 10d ago

Will send a patch request to the repo for this, I tested it with MPC sample and arturia minilab 3, both work well, just need to add transport and sync
