    Back to stock
    
          
    Get FM-1 V15 from m-vave.com (Downloads → PC Firmware → FM-1 V15) and choose its FM-1.fwsc here. The app checks it is the real V15 before it sends anything; the file stays in this browser.
    
          
    The stock firmware can't open FMX's songs or sounds: back up the set first (Sounds, below), and restore it after you come back to FMX.

    Hold OCT− while you switch the FM-1 on. It starts in USB rescue, and you can install again from here.
    
        
    
      
    
    
    
  
    

  
  
    
    
    
      
    
        
    Sounds on the FM-1
    
        
    One pool for everything: breaks, slice loops, kits and instruments. The FM-1 sends its list when it connects, so this map is what's on it now.
    
      
    
      
    Connect the FM-1 to see what's on it. Your library in this browser still works.
    
      
    This FM-1's firmware has no sample pool. Install FMX (Firmware, above) to send sounds to it.
