ROM-1

• ROM-1 makes the FM-1 a sixteen-part sound module, one part for each MIDI channel.
• Each part plays a preset from the .sf2 fonts you put on it, with filter, envelopes, reverb and chorus.
• Starter sounds come with it: eighteen General MIDI instruments and a drum kit on part 10.
• The keys play the part on the screen, with OCT- and OCT+ moving them an octave each way.
• ALGORITHM picks the part, PRESETS turns through its presets, and GLO with PRESETS jumps to the next font.
• PLAY runs a phrase or beat on the part so you hear the preset while turning knobs.
• Settings save themselves a few seconds after a change, and SAVE writes them at once.
• MIDI over USB or the TRS jack plays all sixteen parts, and the keys can go out over USB.
