Getting started
From the project's README ("Install"):
Back up first: the installer saves your FM-1's music, sounds, samples and settings before it changes anything.
In the browser (Chrome or Edge on a computer): open the DIRGE installer, connect the FM-1 over USB and follow it. The same page takes the FM-1 back to the official V15 firmware (Return to official V15).
With Python 3: download the .fwsc package (CI artifacts now, GitHub Releases from the first release), then:
pip install mido python-rtmidi python3 tools/fm1install.py dirge-X.Y.fwsc
If something goes wrong: hold OCT− while switching the FM-1 on for the USB rescue mode, then install again. Before the first install of any custom firmware, a full flash backup with M-Flasher or MvaveFM1Unbricker is a good idea.
