CoralFlower 0.2: whole chords strike again
This update adds a new way to change chords and fixes glide on VA sounds.
What's new
- RETRIG: Chord. A new setting in GLO > Play > RETRIG. When you change the chord while the last one still
sounds, the whole new chord starts again with its attack, the notes the two chords share too. With a Glide time
set, each note slides from the last chord's note. - Clearer RETRIG names. The settings are now Wait, Slide (was Move), Notes (was Strike) and Chord. A choice you
saved stays the same. With a Glide time set, Notes now slides the notes that change, as Chord does. - Glide on VA sounds. Glide on virtual analogue sounds now takes the time you set. Before, it was much faster than the
setting, so it was hard to hear. - A padlock in the top bar. The Lock layouts show "Top" or "Side" with a padlock, so a long sound name has more
room.
Install
Open https://ficusficusov.github.io/CoralFlower/ in Chrome or Edge on a computer. Connect the FM-1 with a USB cable
that carries data, without a hub, and press "Install on your FM-1". If the FM-1 runs CoralFlower, ChoralRoot or
Felucca, the installer saves your sounds to a file first. Installing firmware is at your own risk.
You can try 0.2 in the browser first: https://ficusficusov.github.io/CoralFlower/play/

CoralFlower 0.1
CoralFlower 0.1: the first release
CoralFlower is free firmware that makes your M-VAVE FM-1 an instrument for chords. Hold a chord key, and every note
you play becomes a whole chord, with a bass underneath. While you play, a pixel flower grows from your chords. It is
inspired by the Telepathic Instruments Orchid, with controls redesigned for the FM-1's keys and buttons.
What's in it
- The lower keys play the notes of your scale (26 scales, any starting note); hold an upper key, and each note
becomes a chord. With no upper key held, single notes, several at once. Two key layouts, Top and Side, each with a
Lock mode. Chord glide (off by default) slides each note into the next chord. - A bass part under your chords (you can turn it off), with its own sound and range, plus an octaver that doubles each bass note.
- An arpeggiator with nine patterns, including a strum like the one on the Orchid chord synth. It locks to the
metronome or to a MIDI clock. - A looper for chord progressions, with count-in, overdub, undo and timing correction. Save the loop, and it stays
after you switch off. - Six effects in an order you choose: filter, drive, chorus, phaser, delay and reverb.
- About 60 virtual-analogue and FM sounds, with separate lists for chords and basses. Every sound has an editor, and you
can save your own. - A flower (Top layout) or a coral (Side layout) that grows from every chord.
- A short chime when the FM-1 starts. You can turn it off in the global settings (GLO > Display).
Try it, then install it
The browser emulator runs this same firmware: https://ficusficusov.github.io/CoralFlower/play/
To install, open https://ficusficusov.github.io/CoralFlower/ in Chrome or Edge on a computer. Connect the FM-1 with
a USB cable that carries data, without a hub, and press Install. It takes about a minute. If the FM-1 runs ChoralRoot or Felucca, the installer saves your sounds to a
file first. The official firmware's sounds can't be backed up. Installing firmware is at your own risk.
