PaperLagoon

PaperLagoon is a generative environmental-music firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1. It plays by itself, and you steer it from outside. The keys play no notes: a press offers something to a hidden state, a drop falls to the water, and the music answers, loosely, and then more slowly. Seven worlds that exist nowhere, ten kits of FM voices, a tape echo and a plate, and a few slow cycles that keep it turning.

The lagoon: a drop falls toward the water under SHALLOWS OF MEMORY — PaperLagoon on the FM-1's screen

This is version 1.0.1. You install it at your own risk, and the installer can put M-VAVE's own firmware back.

Try it in the browser. Play it right here, with sound. It runs the same code as the FM-1, so you don't need one.
Install it from Chrome or Edge, with the FM-1 connected by USB.
The Manual explains the screen, the pages, the keys and offerings, the worlds and the kits.
Download paperlagoon-1.0.1.fwsc to use the command-line installer: python3 tools/fm1_install.py paperlagoon-1.0.1.fwsc.
