How do you control it?¶
Find the MIDI ports, then start the bridge with this driver:
osc-bridge detect # prints the ready-to-run line for what is plugged in
osc-bridge run --device devices/m-vave/fm-1.vendor.fw-tonitor-2026.10.23.json --out-port <N> --in-port <M>
Then send OSC to 127.0.0.1:7777, for example:
From Claude or any MCP client, the osc-bridge mcp server exposes this driver as fm1: ask “what can the M-VAVE FM-1 do?” and it reads this map with list_routes. See the MCP guide.

Limitations¶
Tonitor 2026.10.23 by Nuno Zimas (GPL-3.0), a instrument firmware for the FM-1. six tracks, per-track IN/OUT channels; no clock/PC by design. Channels: per track IN channel (defaults tracks 1-6 on ch 1-6, OFF possible) + AUTO channel (default 16) -> selected track; a note plays every matching track; ports USB IN and TRS IN switchable (both on). Pitch bend: none. Aftertouch: none. Clock: none in or out (no tempo/patterns). MIDI out: USB: with SEND NOTES each track's notes on its OUT channel (default 1-6, off by default); with SEND CC the 9 CCs above when they change (off by default). NRPN: none. SysEx `F0 pack7(00 59 cmd len24 body chk) F7`: M-UPGRADE vendor update protocol (installers, hub): cmd 0x11 handshake answers the package identity; F0 22 24 35 7F F7 starts the pulled update. SysEx `F0 22 24 35 7D F7`: soft key: reboot into the bootloader. SysEx `F0 pack7(00 59 cmd 0x50-0x54 ..) F7`: backup on the updater framing: 50 list, 51 read, 52 write, 53 data, 54 commit (sessions, presets, setup). SysEx `F0 7D 54 / F0 7D 55`: telemetry out, diagnostic builds only (TELEMETRY 0 by default). SysEx `F0 7D 46 4C`: absent: no Felucca editor protocol, no INFO reply. SysEx `F0 43`: absent: no raw DX7 SysEx parser. Identity: vendor identify FM-1_700 (dev; release FM-1_7XY needs one-digit X.Y, source version 0.56 does not fit; tools/build.py:40,260), rescue FM-1_000; version string 0.56 (tonitor.c:13) vs hub 2026.10.23; USB product "FM-1 Tonitor" (usb.c:301).
