Golana

Firmware for FM-1 (M-VAVE)

Felucca fork that replaces the engines with one microKORG-style analog-modelling synth: two oscillators, multimode filter, LFOs, patch routing, arpeggiator, step sequencer and effects, with live waveform drawings.

Description

A four-voice synth with poly, mono, legato and unison modes. OSC 1 has saw, pulse, triangle and sine with a control that changes per wave, OSC 2 adds ring and sync, and the mixer includes noise and a wavefolder. The filter offers 24 and 12 dB low-pass, band-pass, high-pass and a screaming MS-20-style mode. Two LFOs and four patch routings, a 16-step sequencer and an arpeggiator are saved with each of 32 programs. Modulation FX, delay and reverb can be reordered. The pages draw the wave, filter curve, envelopes and LFOs from the current values, and it has a USB rescue mode entered by holding OCT- at power-on. There is a browser build but no hosted page; the firmware builds like Felucca.

Install notes

Build with ./build.sh as for Felucca (JieLi toolchain and AC79 SDK, see BUILDING.md); the package is still named felucca.fwsc and installs with Felucca's tools. Hold OCT- alone at power-on for USB rescue.
