AMB-1 1.2

on GitHub

AMB-1 now works with a screen reader.

• The FM-1 Screen Reader reads out what the screen shows, over USB: the page you're on and its knobs, a knob's value as you turn it, the piece with its key and tempo, the notes you add or take out, help cards, every message, and the chord each time the garden moves on. It says it all in words ("E flat pentatonic minor", not "Eb Pent min"), with its own voice or through your computer's screen reader (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS, TalkBack). Press W to hear the whole screen again: the page, the piece, the chord and the scale.

• The FM-1 says nothing until the page connects, so a DAW on the same cable never sees it.

• The web app is back, at https://charles.pizza/amb, and plays properly on the iPhone: straight to the speakers, without crackles when the screen locks.

• Try it in the browser: https://charlesvestal.github.io/fm1-amb/emu/

• Install (Chrome or Edge, FM-1 on USB): https://charlesvestal.github.io/fm1-amb/install/

• Manual: https://charlesvestal.github.io/fm1-amb/manual/

Install from the command line: python3 tools/fm1_install.py amb-1.2.fwsc (see the manual). Your pieces' settings carry over. Installing is at your own risk; the web installer can put M-VAVE's own firmware back.
