Prysm 0.8: an editor in your browser, with Prysm itself running in the page, kept in step with your FM-1.

Install: the web installer (Chrome or Edge), or python3 tools/fm1_install.py prysm-0.8.fwsc. Manual: docs/MANUAL.md. Your saved patches carry over. Demo video: on YouTube.

New

  • The editor (Chrome or Edge):
    • Prysm's own firmware runs in the page: the screen, the knobs (drag or scroll), the buttons, the keys (or your computer's keys) and the sound. No FM-1 needed to try it.
    • A tab for every page, with every parameter, named and shown as on the FM-1; the sequencer's 64 steps as a grid; patch files to save and load.
    • Connect FM-1: the editor takes the FM-1's sound, and from then on the two stay in step both ways. Change something in the editor and the FM-1 plays it, its value showing in the corner; turn a knob on the FM-1 and the editor follows. Store on FM-1 saves the sound in a slot.
  • The CLAP plugin (macOS, Windows, Linux: Prysm-clap-*.zip below):
    • Prysm's own engine as an instrument in your DAW, so a project sounds as the FM-1 does.
    • Every knob is an automatable parameter. The window is the editor, and the arp and sequencer follow the DAW's tempo.
    • A connected FM-1 is kept in step both ways.
    • Tested in Reaper on macOS. Windows and Linux builds are new: reports welcome. The plugin's README has install notes for each system.
  • Performance capture (tools/capture.py): record what you play on the FM-1, and the computer films it as an MP4. The film shows the screen exactly as drawn, with the sound in sync.
  • Patches from the computer: tools/demo.py send puts the demo video's seven sounds in slots 1 to 7.

Package identity FM-1_988. From ETCH: restore the official firmware first. If an FM-1 does not start after an update, hold OCT- while switching it on (the rescue updater). Community firmware, not made or supported by M-VAVE: install at your own risk. GPL-3.0.
