New in 1.0.9
- A new backup page saves your project to a file and puts it back, so you can keep several projects or try another firmware and come back (#11). The FM-1 asks before a restore replaces anything. Break loops aren't included; load them again from their WAVs. From the command line:
tools/x0x_backup.py. - The break has a filter (#14). Press EDIT on the break and turn SELECT to SOUND. Turn FILTER left for a low-pass and right for a high-pass; the middle is off. A high-pass leaves a loop's hats under your own kick and snare.
- X0X runs the processor at 1.38 / 1.60V, the voltages M-VAVE's own firmware uses (#10, #21). Some FM-1s crashed with both cores at the lower voltages custom firmware inherited. GLO > PERFORMANCE shows them. Thanks @fc79 for reading the stock firmware.
- After a crash, GLO > PERFORMANCE keeps its numbers in red until you switch off, so you can photograph them (#17).
- A save cut off by switching off loads the save before it, instead of an empty project.
New in 1.0.8
- Hold ENV and turn a knob to put it back to its default (#19). Thanks @SynthGal
- In safe mode, hold OCT- and OCT+ for 5 seconds to reach the update mode (#20).
- GLO > 2ND CORE says AT THE NEXT POWER-ON when you change it.
New in 1.0.7
- GLO > 2ND CORE turns the second core on or off from the next start (#21). It's on by default. If X0X crashes with both cores running, it turns the second core off by itself and carries on with one. After a crash while starting, it starts on one core, once.
- X0X raises one of the processor's supplies from 1.40V to 1.50V when it starts (#10). At 1.40V, some FM-1s misread their memory when both cores are busy, and crash. (1.0.9 goes to the stock 1.60V.)
Thanks @zednaked and @fc79 for measuring your FM-1s, and Jangada and Melodee for their findings.
