The one I ordered got cleared by Customs this morning, should arrive this week. Should be pretty fun to use with Renoise.
Where did you order it from?
could ask AI 
, but wonder how it compares to the Volca FM?
I think it’s basically a dx7 clone. It can load all the presets and such
It is indeed an emulation of a DX7, but comes with an app that it’s much easier to create and edit patches - which was notoriously difficult to do something similar on a DX7.
I ordered mine off a seller on AliExpress a week ago, and it arrived at a local airport yesterday. I’ll post about it when it arrives.
Yeah, it’s great. Plugged in and played, accepted and received MIDI from USB without issues. Tested it in both Renoise and FL Studio, will be dumping .sysex onto it later but it’s really nice so far.
Apparently there is a whole hacking scene for this device where people make their own firmware’s which add functionality which the original unit doesn’t have. Like Sloop, free firmware making it a groovebox; https://github.com/isod89/sloop-fm1
Here is a link to a page collecting all the different firmware from the scene, this is really great, guess this will boost the M-Vave F-1 Sales even more
Yes indeed! Be aware besides the free ones, there are also paid firmwares which are skammy ai ripoffs.
Tempted to snag one… unfortunately i’m downsizing my setup in an attempt to remove clutter… decisions, man! decisions…
