CTL-1

A MIDI controller for the M-VAVE FM-1

The FM-1's keys, knobs and buttons as a MIDI controller: notes in any scale with its chords under the black keys, four banks of knobs, an arpeggiator and a Euclidean drum sequencer, over USB. And General MIDI sounds of its own, so it plays with nothing connected.

What it does

Keys. 27 keys, ±3 octaves. With a scale (nine of them, any root) the white keys play its notes and the black keys its chords. Sustain on ENV, tap it twice to lock; the mod wheel on LFO.
Knobs. Four controllers in four banks, 16 in all, each with its own number; MASTER can send one too.
Arpeggiator. Up, down, up-down, random or as played, 1/4 to 1/32, up to three octaves, with latch.
Sequencer. Four drum tracks of Euclidean rhythms, edited on the keys, on their own channel.
Clock. Its own, sent as MIDI clock with start and stop, or following yours.
Sounds. The 128 General MIDI sounds and the drum kit (Sonivox EAS), through the FM-1's speaker and headphones: PRESETS picks one.

USB MIDI out and in, and the TRS jack's MIDI in passed on to USB. Bluetooth MIDI comes in a later version.
