New in 1.1.0
- X0X works with a screen reader. Plug the FM-1 into a computer and open the FM-1 Screen Reader in Chrome or Edge. It reads out what the screen shows: each page and its knobs, a knob's value as you turn it, list rows with their place ("clock out on, 1 of 20"), help cards, questions, steps you put on or off, play and stop, and every message, in words ("bass drum tune 37", not "BD TUNE 37").
- The page speaks with its own voice (eSpeak NG, running in the page; speed and pitch to taste) or passes the words to your own screen reader (VoiceOver, NVDA, JAWS, TalkBack). Press W to hear the whole screen again. Warnings, like MEMORY FULL, are always heard to the end.
- The FM-1 says nothing until the page connects, so a DAW on the same cable never sees it. The words come from a small file on this site that matches this version exactly; the support costs X0X 2.3 KB.
- Other FM-1 firmwares can add the same support: see fm1-reader.
Everything in 1.0.9 is included: https://github.com/charlesvestal/fm1-x0x/releases/tag/v1.0.9
