Untitled FMS Jam 01

By eleventhstage on May 22, 2026 4:32 pm

So, FMS got released the other week and I eventually got it running ok on my 3DSXL (the open_agb_firm method is best) and have been playing with the various aspects of it and enjoying it a lot. This is what came from that. A mix of as many features that I could manage: different playback rates, chord mode, tweaking a tracks sound in realtime (very handy, done on the "delayed" arp throughout this piece), the step echo which is fascinating.

This was jammed out in 1 take after practicing a few times. Accidentally clocked in at 8m10s. Then, I automated a filter and "mastered" in Ableton.

Rambled a bit there.



Enjoy.

FMS is so cool, even though I only got to try it for like five mins at Superbooth. Incredible how you got 8min of material out of just one project! How long did it take you to make the workflow seem natural/seamless?

So, I bought it on the 10th of May and messed with it since. Basically just made a few patterns per track as the feeling took me, then re-saved them into an order that made sense (kick pattern only on 0 then with bass or stabs added moving rightwards). This track is only 4-6 patterns per track, and 1 track being just a 5 step arp that i tweaked the most, so you can get a lot from a little, especially using the logic and different playback speeds.

I also feel the filtering afterwards does a lot of heavy lifting.
