Virtual FM-1
Play it before it ships.
Every knob, button and screen page works. Tap a key to start the sound.
A browser simulation we built to show how the FM-1 works. Sounds come from our own 6-operator FM engine and 26 demo patches, not M-VAVE’s firmware or its 128 factory presets, so the real instrument will sound and behave differently.
