CRT-4 0.1.2

• Fixed: safe mode can be reached over USB again after a crash. If the FM-1 crashed while it was making sound,
  safe mode came up with USB off, so neither the web installer nor M-UPGRADE could find it until it was switched
  off and on. (The same fix as SEQ-4 0.1.0's; tried on an FM-1: two crashes on purpose, safe mode, then an install
  from it.) Nothing else changes.

Install

• From the browser (Chrome or Edge, the FM-1 on USB): the web installer. Or try it in the browser first.
• From the command line: python3 tools/fm1_install.py crt4-0.1.2.fwsc (Python 3 with pip3 install mido python-rtmidi).
• Going back: the installer's "Back to the stock firmware", or M-VAVE's M-UPGRADE.

CRT-4 0.1.1

• The site: the browser emulator, the web installer and the manual are published with this release.
  0.1.0's site builder still looked for LCD-4's identity and stopped. The firmware is 0.1.0's, apart from its
  version.

CRT-4 0.1.0

The first release.

• Nine consoles: the Atari 2600 (TIA), the Commodore 64 (SID), the NES (2A03 and the Famicom's VRC6, FDS,
  N163 and 5B), the PC Engine (HuC6280, the CD-ROM's ADPCM), the Genesis (YM2612 and SN76489), the Game Boy,
  the SNES (S-DSP), the PlayStation (SPU) and the N64, each made the way its chip made sound: its channels,
  its sample format and rate, its interpolation, its envelopes, its rounding.
• Two kits and sixteen sounds a console, in rows of basses, keys, leads and the console's own; samples
  made by a program in the source and stored in each console's format (no recordings).
• A song a console: sixteen 16-step patterns holding all four tracks, chains of up to 64, chords, swing,
  the console's sounds and knobs; switching consoles saves one song and brings back the other's.
• The consoles' own effects: the SNES's echo and its FIR, the PlayStation's reverb presets, the N64's
  rooms, echo, chorus and flange; on the chip consoles the trackers' echo, their region (NTSC, PAL), their
  model (the 6581 or the 8580, the Genesis's Model 1 or 2, the Game Boy's three) and the TV's speaker.
• Era-true chords: a note at a time on the 2600, the C64, the NES and the Game Boy, chords played as
  arpeggios a frame a note; real chords on the others.
• Writing as on LCD-4: live, step by step, on the steps (locks, slides, ratchets, accents); sixteen
  punch-in effects, the last four the consoles' own (fade, pitch dive, vibrato, echo).
• The screen dresses as the console: its palette and lettering, a scene of its time with Pip in it
  (a shooter, a scroller, a side-scroller, a city at night, a route, a Mode 7 world map, a neon tunnel, an
  island), its own power-on, and a shelf to choose consoles from (GLO + ALGORITHM).
• Nine demo songs, one a console. MIDI in and out, MIDI clock.

Install
