@InigoHernandez InigoHernandez released this 28 Oct 20:12

MONO2K 1.4 for the M-VAVE FM-1: PERFORM's second bank.

Two banks: hold FX and play the black keys; OCT+ switches to bank B, OCT− back to A. A held effect keeps going when you switch.

Bank B:

  • FREEZE: the last eighth held as a seamless sustain.
  • SCATTER: the last beat's sixteenths replayed shuffled, on the grid.
  • ROLL: a repeat that halves every beat, down to 1/32.
  • OCT DN, OCT UP: the whole mix an octave down or up.
  • LPF, HPF: resonant sweeps over a bar, back open when you let go.
  • GATE: a 1/16 gate on the grid.
  • DUB: the mix thrown into an echo that rings on after you let go (it borrows a free track's delay; "NO DELAY FREE" if none is).
  • SHIMMER: an octave-up reverb wash.
  • SPIN: a vinyl spin-back.

Bank A, reviewed: STOP now slows the sound you press it on (it slowed the sound from 0.7 s before) and lands back on the beat; KILL and DRIVE no longer click going in. No effect clips on any demo.

Everything from 1.3.1 is here. Your patterns load as they played.

  • File: mono2k-1.4.fwsc, identity FM-1_980, SHA-256 4a54e8b502e44205142e92f8a7681293bf8e125722abfa1743362eb89ddffac0 (the same file as the installer's).
  • Install: from the FM-1 Firmware Hub or the installer page, over USB in Chrome or Edge. Coming from 1.x, your patterns stay.
  • Leave it: install any other firmware as usual; MONO2K starts its update loader (Felucca's). Holding OCT− while switching on always reaches the updater.
