ORBIT

Firmware for FM-1 (M-VAVE)

OP-1-inspired groovebox firmware based on SLOOP: synth, drum and mixer screens, per-track inserts, sample tools, an event tape for rearranging what the four tracks play, and its own engines beside a 6-op FM.

Install notes

Download the firmware from the releases page and install with the script in the repository (see BUILDING.md). Browser emulator available.
