About

AMB-1 starts playing as soon as it is switched on: tape loops of unequal length, soft bells, a gliding bass and quiet Euclidean percussion, inspired by Music for Airports.

Install and safety

Untested. No compatibility reports yet. Maru has not tested it on hardware.

Install with the author’s installer (opens in a new tab)Try in browser (author’s emulator) (opens in a new tab)

Coming after hardware verification. Maru will offer installs only after its own installer has completed a full install and restore on a physical M-VAVE FM-1, and only for open-source releases whose authors have been told.

  • Put the unit on stock V15 first, and keep your own copy of the stock file from M-VAVE’s downloads (opens in a new tab) so you can go back.
  • Back up your presets with the current firmware’s own export before installing.
  • Rescue: none documented for this firmware.
  • If something goes wrong, follow the recovery ladder.
  • The author's installer can also put M-VAVE's firmware back.
