Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A browser-based installer and catalogue for open-source custom firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1 hardware instrument.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-13 issue.

For: M-VAVE FM-1 owners exploring custom firmware
Worth noticing: The page warns that firmware can store projects, presets, and samples differently, and recommends backing up before switching.

Field notes

The catalogue distinguishes projects by their instruments and styles, including a 12-bit sampler, a chord harp, dark drones, and an eight-track drum machine. The page says most entries are copied unchanged from their authors’ GitHub releases and are not tested or supported by the hub. It also points prospective firmware makers to Dinghy, described as documented plumbing with a sine wave to replace.
