Release list
BOP-1 0.1.0
The first release: a music and synthesis toy for children, on the M-VAVE FM-1.
- Four doors: Play (3+: music at power-on, the keys in the scale, the knobs change a friend you can see,
Surprise!, magic tricks, Loop me), Make (6–8: four layers, sixteen steps, recording in time, help me, parts
A–D into a song, happy / sad / brave / sleepy chords), Lab (9+: a real subtractive synth by its real names,
a signal-flow picture, a live scope, My Friends) and Games (six games and a sticker book). - Eight friends whose bodies are the sound: the waveform their shape, the cutoff their mouth, the envelope
their hop, the LFO their wobble, the pitch their size, the echo their place. - A song generator: eight styles, four progressions, a call-and-answer tune that comes home; the same seed
always the same song. - Ten lessons with try-its the firmware checks; printable lesson cards for a class.
- The grown-ups' page (GLO + SAVE, 3 s): the doors shown, the volume cap, calm lights, the screen, a sleep
timer, idle, music at power-on, MIDI. - Safety: an always-on limiter under the volume cap; no squeals in Play and Make; flashes at most three a
second (none when calm), measured by a test. - Printables: a sticker overlay for the buttons and knobs, the lesson cards, a quick guide, a picture
quick-start. A browser emulator, a web installer, a manual.
