Getting started
From the project's README ("Historical research and deployment"):
This workspace contains a read-only research baseline for the M-VAVE FM-1 pocket FM synthesizer, captured on 2026-08-12.
Start with docs/FM1RESEARCH.md. It records the verified hardware, AC7911B8 specifications, stock V14/V15 firmware layout, MIDI surface, updater behavior, confidence levels, and a conservative route toward replacement firmware.
The initial research capture did not flash the device. Later bench operations are recorded under docs/ and private-backups/. The unpacked metadata has had device security material redacted.
The experimental ProTracker-style MOD editor adds four-channel pattern editing, piano-key sample audition, REC-toggled WRITE, and USB .MOD load/save. In the historical private bench image, State of the Art was embedded as a read-only boot song; 3D Demo II and 9 Fingers remained in the private PC library. The v30 deployment combined the four-track view and refined edit workflow developed in v28 with the encoder capture/backlog correction isolated in v29. It was flashed on 2026-10-04: 96 sectors and one full 1 MiB readback verified, and serial boot checks passed. Deployment evidence records the installation. Its offline preview uses the installed firmware's renderer. Physical layout, knob response, audio, frame rate and scrolling latency remain bench checks.
