M-VAVE FM-1
FM-1 firmware for rhythmic noise, power noise, power electronics and IDM, after Elektron Digitone II: 6
tracks, 4 machines, Digitone II's page layout, parameter locks, looper and send effects. Quasar's control
layer — sequencer, patterns, sessions, MIDI — comes from it. Installed from browser.
Tonitor
M-VAVE FM-1
Acousmatic firmware for FM-1, for electroacoustic experimentation, live ambient music and sound
exploration. Not groovebox: 7 engines, free-running loopers and generative sequencers. Installed from
browser, as Quasar is.
Motor:Cycles
Elektron Model:Cycles
Firmware for rhythmic noise and power noise. Generative algorithms build sounds, kits, phrases and patterns,
with one control for how complex and dense result is; Model:Cycles' own functions stay available. Based on
official OS 1.13 and installed with browser patcher that modifies your own copy of official firmware.
DigiRust
Elektron Digitone II
Firmware tools for IDM, rhythmic noise and power noise, and electroacoustic music: browser patcher and macOS
app that create modified copy of official Digitone II OS on your computer. No Elektron firmware is
distributed. For Digitone II only.
