# isod89/sloop-fm1 > A firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1 that turns it into a four-track groovebox: three synths and a drum machine with 16 sounds, nine synthesis engines, user samples and a live song mode. A GPL-3.0 fork of Felucca. - Magnitude: 4.5 out of 10 — Early signal - Stars: 97 total · +13 stars measured 2026-10-05, 10:59–12:34 UTC, ≈ 32 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: C · License: GPL-3.0 · Created: 2026-10-04 · Last push: 2026-10-05 - GitHub: https://github.com/isod89/sloop-fm1 · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/isod89/sloop-fm1 ## Useful for - Flash the FM-1 via the browser installer and play live sets without factory patterns - Upload your own samples through the web editor by chopping a recording into 16 pieces - Build the firmware from source with the JieLi toolchain and build.sh ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-05 (UTC), 10:59–12:34: 84 → 97 stars (+13). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +32 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 1 day old and already has 97 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - About 13 forks a day — people are taking the code. ## 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: 8 - Issues and pull requests: 9 - Watchers: 2 - Average over the last week: 45 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): 6 - Latest release: v2.2 (2026-10-05) ## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-04 … 2026-10-05: 58, 13 ## Similar by description 1. **hugelton/Felucca** — 4.8 · Early signal · Hardware, IoT & robotics · C · +32 stars measured 2026-10-05, 00:07–12:34 UTC, ≈ 63 by evening Custom firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1 synthesizer: nine engines, four tracks, a 64-step sequencer, effects and a web editor. Installed over USB from a browser with no extra hardware. Full card: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/hugelton/Felucca.md --- 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.
