Frodhes 0.9.2: a physically modelled Fender Rhodes electric piano for the M-VAVE FM-1. Every note is computed live from the mechanics of a Rhodes (hammer, tine, tonebar, pickup); there are no samples.

New in 0.9.2
- ENV opens the PHASER (press again: on / off; the light shows it) and SEL opens the DELAY (press again: on / off).
- The compressor's THRESH is its switch: OFF at 0, turn it up and the compressor comes on, with makeup gain that keeps the volume the same.
- Chorus, decay and the compressor are reached with SELECT (chorus and delay can also be brought in from the PERFORM knobs).
- The web emulator looks like the FM-1, every button and knob is labelled with what it does, and the labels follow the page (for example PLAY = HOLD on the arpeggiator page). A short guide sits beside it.
