FM-1 Emulator 1.1.3

USB recovery guidance and safer Windows firmware selection.

1.1.2

Patch bay with generative modules, presets, and cable motion.
Desktop MIDI link to a real FM-1; Focus Mode; shorter Install confirm.
Themes, wave app icon, open-license catalog cleanup.
Recovery docs cover both production flash chips (0x856014 / 0xB36014).

See the README for screenshots of every theme.

1.1.0

Open-license firmware library expanded to 259 packages (refreshed, newest first), with an in-app radar for new firmware releases. Search rebuilt as a full accent-insensitive result list. More stable defaults: software rendering, interpreter by default, renderer recovery, and accurate running-firmware identity. Catalog verifier added for reproducible packaging.

Plug in your real FM-1 over USB and pick it under MIDI in to play the emulator from its keys; controllers, pitch bend and MIDI clock are passed to the running firmware.

Builds are unsigned, so first launch may show a one-time OS warning. It's safe:

• macOS: right-click → Open → Open. If it says "damaged": xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/FM-1 Emulator.app"
• Windows: SmartScreen → More info → Run anyway
• Linux: the .deb is easiest. For the AppImage: sudo apt install libfuse2 (Ubuntu 24.04: libfuse2t64), and run with --no-sandbox if you hit a sandbox error.

How to open it

The app isn't code-signed (there's no paid signing certificate), so your OS shows a one-time
warning the first time you open it. It's safe — here's how to get past it on each platform.

macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel)

Right-click (or Control-click) the app → Open → Open.
A normal double-click only gives you a Cancel button; right-clicking gives you the Open button.
After the first time, it opens normally.

If macOS says the app is "damaged" / can't be opened, open Terminal and run:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/FM-1 Emulator.app"
codesign --force --deep --sign - "/Applications/FM-1 Emulator.app"

Windows

If SmartScreen says "Windows protected your PC" → click More info → Run anyway.

Linux

• Easiest — the .deb: sudo apt install ./FM-1-Emulator-*.deb
• AppImage: chmod +x it, then run. If it won't start: sudo apt install libfuse2
  (Ubuntu 24.04: libfuse2t64), or run with --appimage-extract-and-run.
• "SUID sandbox helper … not configured correctly" on Ubuntu 24.04 → run with --no-sandbox.
