AmbWave 0.1.0

Changelog

0.1.0 — 2026-10-17

First AmbWave MVP, previously developed as Hasake, based on Felucca 1.0.5.2.
First public AmbWave release.

• Four independent tracks with TIDE, TEXTURE, CLOUD and curated pluck sounds;
  TIDE WARM and TIDE SILK remain selectable variations.
• SHAPE, MOTION, DENSITY and SPACE, direct track mixing and mutes.
• User-reviewed default layer balance makes PULSE audible over a sustained TIDE
  chord while retaining the accepted TIDE patch and macro defaults.
• HOLD, SCATTER and SEQUENCE playing modes, with the existing step editor.
• TIDE now uses the user-selected FM patch. Its dry source has sustained FM
  motion; Shape changes complexity and Density changes harmonic weight without
  chorus or detuning. Space 0 has zero spatial sends.
• Browser demo uses the same synthesis code; no hardware needed.
• Visible browser level sliders and mutes, with first-use playing guidance.
• Prepared direct browser installation with exact-package checksum checking,
  backup acknowledgement, progress, restart checks and previous-package rollback.
• Public maintainer identity: mentalcells; clean source history with upstream
  and third-party attribution retained.
• AmbWave branding and separate browser save namespace. Earlier Felucca/Hasake
  browser saves are left untouched and are not automatically imported.

Limits: eight shared voices, shared effects buses, mono effect return, possible
voice stealing under dense layering, and no complete curated-scene save/recall.
The browser does not emulate device USB, TRS MIDI or user sample slots. Device
USB/package/storage identifiers and recovery tools remain Felucca-compatible.

Hardware validation reported by the maintainer: browser installation, AMBWAVE
startup, basic playback and note release, SPACE, layer controls, and normal
power-cycle restart passed. Rollback and interrupted-update recovery remain
untested on real hardware. Software installer simulations cover those paths
but are not a substitute for device testing.

• Browser installer (Chrome/Edge): https://mentalcells.github.io/ambwave/install/

Back up device projects, presets and samples first, and keep previous firmware
for rollback. Trying the emulator never flashes a device. The full ZIP includes
firmware, corresponding source, licence notices, guides and the prepared site.
Checksums and a build/source manifest are attached.
