FM-1 Ctrl
Thin controller firmware that sends the FM-1's keys, knobs and buttons out as raw USB MIDI and takes MIDI back to light its LEDs, so the hardware can drive a firmware's browser emulator.

Description
Contains no sound engine, sequencer or storage. Mapping lives on the browser side as a JSON control map, with a convention document and a first map for the Melodee emulator. The panel is reported as 7 encoders and 14 buttons on CC 40 to 53, and a later commit adds LED feedback on CC 54 to 67. The repository has a host simulator, a browser panel emulator that shows the MIDI bytes, and a WebAssembly build of the firmware's own code. It builds on the x0x build and the Felucca platform layer. The author's notes mark the on-device flash and LED check as pending, and USB MIDI both ways as verified on a unit.
Install notes
No release yet. tools/build.py needs the JieLi pi32v2 toolchain (JIELI_TOOLCHAIN) and produces build/ctrl.fwsc, which tools/fm1_install.py installs over USB. Back up first and have M-VAVE's updater ready.
