> Firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1 that turns it into a groovebox: a 909, an 808, two 303s with an acid line generator and a breakbeat player, all playing at once. A fork of Felucca.

## Useful for

- Upload your own breakbeat loops into the FM-1 sample slots via upload_breaks.py
- Chain 909, 808 and two 303 patterns into a song with recorded knob moves
- Run engine and sequencer tests in the simulator without hardware

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-07 (UTC), 00:20–03:49: 65 → 68 stars (+3). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +22 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 3 days old and already has 68 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #171.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 3
- Issues and pull requests: 4
- Watchers: 3
- Average over the last week: 23 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 0
- Latest release: v0.10.1-beta (2026-10-06)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
