Is tone reset like elektron reload pattern?

No idea about Elektron reload pattern function, here is the M-Vave’s description:
ā€œSupports one-click restoration of tones to the last imported state. Users may independently select any of the four tone banks (A/B/C/D) for individual reset.ā€

Exactly, same color ))

Also, this variant of the Pocket Master goes with the white-orange one (BTW, very good FX quality, and gives stereo sound on the output):

And, to add to the same color scheme, this MIDI keyboard controller:

It’s definitely Type A. I’ve got adapters for both types and tested it, Type B won’t work. Waiting for minimidi.world to add info :slight_smile:

mine arrived the other week. no clipping here.
yes, the output is rather hot, but if you adjust the volume, all is fine.

Had a coco jam in bed! Only received it tonight and already flying using it. The arpeggiator is very cool with latch and all the modes. I managed to send midi to Koala using BT with it and the koala audio came in via BT but could not record into Koala, did not try with USB. Worked great with the arp triggering the samples too (jamming that BT latency). Chaotic fun rhytmically triggering the FX, operators and the arp and changing latched notes. It’s a cool box. Sounds even good once tweaked, the factory presets are pretty bad.

Well damn, it’s back ordered for a loooong time now. Shoulda grabbed one last week. This is what I get for waiting and responsibly evaluating whether I want it instead of giving into GAS.

Maybe buying something else in the meantime will make you feel better :laughing:

I made custom layouts for the Novation Launchkey mini mk4 to control the M-Wave FM-1 and all its parameters

Nice! Thank you. I guess it will also work on the launchkey Mk4?

I guess so, i dont have one… can you test it? :slightly_smiling_face:

I reordered the Pads to match the order used the Encoders - Also added program change up/down to the right hand side pads, so now you can change the FM presets from the Launchkey :slight_smile:

Received mine yesterday. Black version.
Problem: I can’t find the V15 firmare. Has it been removed from M-Vave download page ? I see V14 only, and I did the firmware procedure. V14 apparently installed.

Edit : go to FM1 product page instead…last firmware and working installation software

Really small ! Not easy to play notes, fortunately my fingers are pretty thin.

Not fond of encoders with detents.
I hope all parameters with be available via midi.

Btw I wonder if parameters can be controlled via SYSEX after reading this :

SysEx: F0 43 10 pp qq vv F7 → single-parameter write (param = ppƗ128+qq, 0–155; value vv).

you need the ā€œm-upgradeā€ app to install it. mac and windows versions are available on that same product page.

Thanks @bartleby !

Yep, I installed it but didn’t see V15. The last FW file is also in PC FIRMWARE page…
I found out with that video, but the M-Update software I found in downloads page didn’t work. I had to install the M-Update software from product page…

Just saw that one dedicated to FM1 :

I don’t know which one I will use, this one this well done on paper if you just want to load / import…

Dexed allow to send and edit…

There are probably lots of solutions, I’d like to find one working well with iOS. Maybe DIXIE and the one I linked above.

What are you suggestions ?
