Mutable Dreams

• Six freely assignable synth tracks give you 336 tones across 108 musical Biomes plus Blank.
• Swap three synth tracks for a Lo-Fi kit of eight editable pads drawn from five original sample sets.
• Each track holds a 32-step sequence with notes, rests, velocity, gate and chance, plus eight generators.
• Step recording and monophonic live overdub capture notes from the keyboard or USB MIDI.
• Two LFOs per synth track move filter, colour, pan, sends and Warps blend over cycles of half a second to twenty seconds.
• A shared granular cloud with Grain Size, tape motion and freeze sits alongside shared delay and room.
• Saving a complete Biome keeps sequences, kit settings and LFO routing, and the FM-1 warns before unsaved edits are replaced.
• A browser page runs the same instrument and edits, backs up or restores a connected FM-1 over USB MIDI.
