Install on the FM-1
Connect the FM-1 directly to this computer with a USB data cable, close other apps that use MIDI, and use Chrome or Edge. Do not unplug it while writing. Installing firmware is at your own risk.

What is on the FM-1?

Rescue
It crashes, or does not start
- Switch the FM-1 off. Hold OCT- and switch it on. The screen says USB RESCUE: no sound, only the updater.
- Install a firmware that works from the Install tab, or the official one below.
A firmware built here that crashes twice while starting goes to the USB rescue by itself. A crash shows a red screen with the address it happened at (look it up in build/fm1/firmware.dis), then the FM-1 restarts.
An install was cut off
The FM-1 stays in update mode until an install finishes (its screen is dark or says UPDATE). Plug it in and finish the install:
Back to the official firmware
- Download M-VAVE's FM-1 V15: FM-1.fwsc (or from m-vave.com/download).
- Choose it here (it is checked before anything is written):
- Connect the FM-1, normally or in the USB rescue, and press the button.
Nothing reaches it
When even the USB rescue does not start, the chip's own boot ROM still can update it, but a browser cannot talk to it (it shows up as a USB disk, which browsers may not touch). From a computer:
- fm1_rescue.sh (macOS): puts the official firmware back through the boot ROM.
- FM-1-transporter: the protocol and tools behind it.
