About

FM1 Quest dresses SLOOP as a pixel-art RPG: tracks are heroes, lit steps are attacks and recording a loop is a boss fight. Every SLOOP function stays in place.

Install and safety

Test. The author marks this as a test or alpha build. Back up first.

Maru offers its own install only for open-source releases with a complete install record, after its installer has completed a full install and restore on a physical M-VAVE FM-1.

  • Put the unit on stock V15 first, and keep your own copy of the stock file from M-VAVE’s downloads so you can go back.
  • Back up your presets with the current firmware’s own export before installing.
  • Rescue: none documented for this firmware.
  • If something goes wrong, follow the recovery ladder.
  • The directory notes it has not yet been tried on a physical FM-1.
  • SLOOP's own release installs over it.
