fms v0.019
By ess on January 4, 2026 11:59 pm
i wanted to make my own fm groovebox software for weeklybeats, as a sort of double challenge.
this is FMS (fm music system) in its infancy, version 0.019. it's a gamepad/keyboard controlled sequencer running as a standalone software or within a daw. this version was used in ableton live since there is no built-in song mode etc yet.
sadly i accidentally pasted over half my pattern right before the deadline and had to scramble to finish this. perhaps not the best idea to add pattern copy/paste 2 hours before the deadline. ;–)
week 1 progress:
gamepad/keyboard control
sequencer data model
sequencer engine
- individual track lengths
- per step parameter values
- pattern switching via automation
- per step modulo logic
- host sync(ish... responds to transport start)
2-op fm engine
basic ui
