The first release of Skiff, a six-track groovebox firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1, built on Felucca 1.1.5.

Skiff

Install: in Chrome or Edge with the Skiff installer, or download skiff-1.0.fwsc below and run python tools/fm1_install.py skiff-1.0.fwsc. Custom firmware, at your own risk; the installer page also takes the FM-1 back to the official V15 firmware.

What's in it

  • Six tracks, fourteen engines (ANALOG, FM6, PHASE, LOFI, SAMPLE, VOICE, TRIO, WHEEL, GRAIN, PHYS, NOISE, SLICE, DRUM and DRUM-X), 100 factory sounds
  • A 64-step sequencer with chords, ratchets and FLAM, per-step chance, trig conditions, NUDGE, parameter locks and automation; STEP tiles, a piano roll and a drum grid; live recording with overdub and FEEL, TAKE, 8 levels of undo
  • Patterns and songs: a pool of 64 patterns shared by every project, a list of 16 entries per track, SONG; PERFORM with launches, staged mutes and 16 scenes on LOOP, BAR, BEAT or NOW
  • Every page draws what it does, and HOME held shows what every control does there
  • Six themes: SKIFF, HI-CON, PAPER, CRYPT, NEON and QUARK
  • The Skiff Editor in the browser: sounds, steps, the mixer, the song lists, scenes and pattern pool, projects, the DRUM-X kit, the settings and the transport

Felucca's sounds and projects load in Skiff. Please report problems in this repository's Issues, not Felucca's.
