Getting started

From the project's README ("First steps"):

  1. Power on. Generator 1 is chosen; each generator already has a sound and a lane of effects.
  2. Play white keys. Press FX, SEL or ENV to hear the other generators.
  3. Press HOME until a generator sounds right to you. SHIFT + HOME keeps its family and tries again.
  4. Hold a key and press SHIFT to latch it. Latch notes on two or three generators to build a texture.
  5. Turn KNOB 2 for more or less effect, KNOB 1 to disintegrate, KNOB 3 and KNOB 4 for delay and reverb.
  6. Press SAVE, hold a white key 0.8 s: the whole machine is stored in that snapshot. Make a few, set a morph time with KNOB 1 and move between them.
  7. Hold SAVE (outside the SNAPSHOTS page) to keep everything in the FM-1's flash as a session.
