GabberBuddy

GabberBuddy is a free hack of X0X, the groovebox firmware for the M-VAVE FM-1, for experimental noise and gabber. It keeps the original 909 and adds a gabber909 style (GAB-S and GAB-F), master clip, crusher and EQ, a super-saw and an 8-bit noise oscillator on the 303s, and a black and neon-green screen. It is unofficial and not for sale.

GabberBuddy installs and uninstalls the way X0X and Felucca do, and the installer can put M-VAVE's own firmware back. You install it at your own risk. It is early: it has not had much time on a real FM-1.

Credits. GabberBuddy is a hack of X0X by Charles Vestal, which is built on Felucca by Leo Kuroshita (Hügelton Instruments). The 909 is from 9W9 and ER-99, the 808 from 8W8, the 303 from schwung-303 (Open303), TB-3PO, and the break generator from BB Gen. The README and manual list everyone.

To go back to the official firmware, use M-VAVE's own updater, M-UPGRADE, from m-vave.com/download. M-UPGRADE 3.11 finds v0.0.1-beta but not older versions. For those, use "Back to the stock firmware" in the installer. M-VAVE and FM-1 are trademarks of their owners.
