What Felucca 8 Patterns does
- Four tracks each hold eight sequences with their own steps, LEN, automation and parameter locks.
- Chain sequences so only the chained ones play in order, looping the last back to the first.
- Sequence switches land instantly or wait for the end of the loop, and songs call up chosen sequences.
- GEN plays a track by itself, with DENS, CHORD and EVOLVE growing and changing the loop as it runs.
- STR3 and STR7 turn the black keys into chord choices and the white keys into strings you strum.
- In PLAY the white keys sound chords that the held black keys reshape, with LATCH to keep a shape.
- SAVE and RESTORE LAST keep every sequence, the chord packs and the GEN knobs in flash.
Its modes
- SEQ > SEQUENCE
- Pick which of the eight sequences each of the four tracks plays, using KNOB 1 to KNOB 4.
- MENU > SYSTEM > SEQ SWITCH
- Choose whether a sequence change happens at once or waits for the last step of the sequence playing.
- CHAIN
- Turn PRESETS to chain or unchain the selected track's sequences so they play one after the other.
- SONG
- Set which sequence each song cell plays, either the saved one or any of that project's eight.
- ARP > GEN
- Shape a self-playing loop with DENS, CHORD, EVOLVE and SCL while watching it drawn on screen.
- SCL > CHORD
- Set CHRD to STR3, STR7 or PLAY and voice the chord with VOIC and TRN.
- SCL > CHORDS
- Edit what each black key does, choose a pack and set the strum SPEED.

StatusNot scanned yet
We couldn't tell which file in this release is the FM-1 one, so we didn't scan it.
Les scans every firmware here whose file is public, and shows what it checked and what it found. A scan lowers the risk; it can't rule it out. This firmware is made by its author, not by Les or M-VAVE. Back up first, and install at your own risk. How Les scans firmware
