Thank you for listening and helping shape this update. Mutable Dreams 1.3 gives the M-VAVE FM-1 more contrasting sound worlds, more movement, and safer ways to explore.

What is new

  • Five original Lo-Fi kits with 40 drum and texture one-shots. Choose one kit with three synth tracks, or keep six freely assignable synth tracks.
  • 48 new tone presets and 16 new Biomes: 336 tones and 108 musical Biomes plus Blank in total.
  • Two independent LFOs per synth track, five sequence directions, four new pattern generators, longer chord journeys and nearby root moves.
  • A warning before changing a Biome with unsaved edits.
  • Clearer type, living page backgrounds and Off / Dim / Soft button lighting on GLO → LOOK / STARTUP → K4.

Installation and recovery

Save your User Banks as .mddb and any unsaved live patch separately as JSON. A full bank restore requires physical SEL confirmation. Stock V15 and V16 were tested as starting points for the exact-device USB installer. Official M-UPGRADE installed manufacturer V16 from V15 but rejected this custom 1.3 package with “File format error”. Use the browser installer or included Python installer kit. Other third-party firmware paths are not certified.

The exact 1.3 binary passed device audio/UI stress checks, byte-identical restoration of 22 saved objects and a cold start. USB MIDI was tested; physical TRS MIDI awaits a cable test. Arbitrary WAV import and Bluetooth MIDI are outside 1.3. See the qualification report for measured scope.
