M-VAVE FM-1 The Pocket FM Machine
M-VAVE FM-1 The Pocket FM Machine
A Pocket-Sized FM Sound Universe
The FM-1 is a truly pocket-sized FM synthesis instrument. Six independent sine-wave oscillators (operators) can be freely combined through 32 algorithms, recreating the iconic sounds of the FM era, from pianos, strings, brass, and bass to electronic synthesizers.
It comes loaded with 128 factory presets, ready to play straight out of the box. The color TFT display provides real-time visualization of the algorithm structure and oscillator waveforms.
The 27-key silicone piano-style keyboard, together with OCT-/OCT+, provides an 8-octave range. It supports both MONO and POLY modes, with up to 12-note polyphony. Six built-in effects — Filter, Reverb, Delay, Distortion, Chorus, and Phaser — plus a 7-mode ARP arpeggiator and 16-step sequencer provide a complete onboard creative toolkit.
Three MIDI connections can be used simultaneously: USB Type-C, wireless Bluetooth BLE MIDI, and 3.5 mm MIDI IN. A 2000 mAh lithium battery provides approximately 12 hours of battery life, while the built-in speaker lets you monitor and play anywhere, anytime.
