Description
Builds each firmware's own C source into an Android app, showing the native 240 x 240 display with touch controls for keys, buttons and encoders. It adds a piano roll, drum and chord editors, a mixer, performance pads, external USB and Bluetooth LE MIDI input, and per-engine projects. The firmwares are pinned submodules and keep their upstream licences and credits. An ESP32-P4 port in the tree is described as internal and unfinished.
Install notes
Preview APKs are attached to the GitHub releases, or build with python3 android/build.py. It runs the firmwares on the phone and does not flash the FM-1.
