Polly Mirror

See the FM-1's screen and panel live on your computer.

Not connected.

How

  1. Plug the FM-1 running Polly into this computer.
  2. Open this page in Chrome or Edge. Press Connect and allow MIDI with SysEx.
  3. The page finds Polly by itself. If it doesn't, choose Polly FM-1 in both lists above.

What you see

The screen updates as Polly draws it. Buttons and keys light up as their LEDs do. Held ones are outlined in teal. A knob you turn flashes and shows its steps. If you unplug the FM-1 or it sleeps, the page waits and reconnects.

Control (for testing)

Turn on Control to play the FM-1 from this page. Click a button or key, and it stays pressed while you hold the mouse. Scroll over a knob to turn it. When you turn Control off, close the page or unplug the cable, Polly lets go of everything. Scripts can do the same with tools/polly_remote.py.

Speed

Polly sends the screen after the notes and the clock, so the music always comes first. When the computer is busy, the page skips frames, but the picture always catches up.
