# m-vave/fm1_open > Open SDK and firmware for the FM1 portable FM synthesizer: 8 tracks, 8 sample slots, 16 FX demos, builds for Windows and WASM. Lets you build the firmware and web workbench from C sources. - Magnitude: 3.9 out of 10 — Early signal - Stars: 108 total · +6 stars measured 2026-10-18, 11:05–12:27 UTC, ≈ 17 by evening - Star trust: star growth looks organic - Category: Hardware, IoT & robotics · Language: C · Created: 2026-10-13 · Last push: 2026-10-17 - GitHub: https://github.com/m-vave/fm1_open · Page: https://gitnova.dev/en/r/m-vave/fm1_open ## Useful for - Build FM1 firmware from sources via build.bat --package - Run the web workbench from build/preview/index.html - Set custom per-track tuning via the tuning API ## Why it’s here - Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-18 (UTC), 11:05–12:27: 102 → 108 stars (+6). This is the change over that interval. - Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +17 stars, using observed gains and the previous day. - The repository is 5 days old and already has 108 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet. - Top new repositories this week: #187. - About 7 forks a day — people are taking the code. - Recent forks include notable developers: @GOROman (402 followers). ## 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: 18 - Issues and pull requests: 3 - Watchers: 6 - Average over the last week: 16 per day - Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks) - Stars in the last hour (measured): 4 - Latest release: V12 (2026-10-14) ## Stars per day, last 6 days (oldest → newest, today is partial) 2026-10-13 … 2026-10-18: 0, 0, 0, 46, 36, 6 ## Spotted in now - Top new repositories this week: #187 ## Similar by description 1. **hugelton/Felucca** — 1.6 · Cooling · Hardware, IoT & robotics · C · +8 stars measured 2026-10-18, 00:27–12:32 UTC, ≈ 14 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.
