ESTAMPIE 0.2.0

ESTAMPIE's first release: mediæval groovebox firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1, a fork of GHOULBOX and Felucca.

Install it from the browser at https://fm-1.drewr.dev/estampie/webapp/installer/ (Chrome or Edge), or install the .fwsc with FM1Kit or FM-SWITCH. Try it first in your browser at https://fm-1.drewr.dev/estampie/webapp/emu/. The installer can also put official firmware V15 back, and its factory sounds too.

What's in it

• A groovebox for mediæval dance music: hurdy-gurdy, lute, recorder and tabor in the TROTTO scene, plus shawms, bagpipes, harps, psalteries, chant and the church modes and old tunings. It's all drawn as a manuscript page: vellum, iron-gall ink, vermilion and lapis.
• KEY TOUCH (new): velocity and aftertouch from the FM-1's own keys, with no hardware change, after Charles Vestal's Velo and MONK-1.
  • Turn it on at MENU › AUDIO › KEY TOUCH.
  • Calibrate it at MENU › SYSTEM › CALIBRATION › KEY TOUCH. Each key also learns your touch as you play.
  • Aftertouch reaches the MOD matrix's AT source, so you can route AT → CUT on a shawm.
  • It works on the 20 keys from F3 to C5.
• Web installer: official V15 bundled, sturdier connecting, a check that the right build is installed, and an optional full backup before installing.
• Editor: sounds, patterns, songs, samples and backups over USB MIDI. Project saves are checked against the FM-1.
• Guide: a full user guide at https://fm-1.drewr.dev/estampie/guide/.

Thanks

ESTAMPIE is built on Jason Persinger's GHOULBOX and Leo Kuroshita's Felucca (Hügelton Instruments). It also draws on Charles Vestal's X0X, Velo and MONK-1, Kerem Kilic's Melodee, and others listed in the README and CREDITS.md.

This is early work, tested on one FM-1. Make a backup before you install.
