Beta. Tested on one FM-1 (November 2026). Test reports from more FM-1 owners are very welcome.
New in this release
- Button lights as in GLIDER: all 14 buttons glow faintly so their labels can be read, and light fully while held. Full light also shows where you are: HOME, EDIT, SEL, FX on their pages, ENV on SOUND, LFO on FILTER, OCT+ on a later step page, REC while the loop has mutated, GLO while slots are muted. PLAY is green while the sequencer runs and glows white when it stops. Nothing blinks.
- The selected slot's key is lit right after power-on (it stayed dark until something changed).
Install
- Back up projects, voices and samples with the firmware that is on your FM-1 now.
- Open the web installer at https://subcity.at/flash/fm1-glitch-drums/ (or download FM1-GLITCH.html and open it) in Chrome or Edge, connect the FM-1 by USB, choose Device update. Keep power and USB connected.
- From another FM1 Open firmware (GLIDER, GLITCH, ARPHONY, Official Open) the normal update works.
- From the original V15 or another firmware: Recovery & force update → Force flash.
- Back to stock: same page, Recovery & force update, Restore original V15.

Beta. First hardware test on a real FM-1 (October 2026): flashing worked, the CPU figure on the HOME page stayed below 30 % with dense beats, effects and a stutter, and the sound matches the simulator. Tried on one unit so far – test reports from more FM-1 owners are very welcome: please use the Hardware test report issue template.
Install
- Back up projects, voices and samples with the firmware that is on your FM-1 now. GLITCH stores its patterns in the sample area and cannot read FM1 projects, voices or samples.
- Download FM1-GLITCH.html, open it in Chrome or Edge, connect the FM-1 by USB, choose Device update. Keep power and USB connected.
- Back to stock: same page, Recovery & force update, original V15.
On FM1 Open firmware (GLIDER, GLITCH, Official Open) you can also flash
FM1-GLITCH.fwscwithpython3 tools/flash_fm1.py flash(macOS).After flashing
Look at the CPU figure on the HOME page with a dense random beat (KIT: DENSITY high), shimmer and a stutter held. It should stay well below 100 %. Please report the highest value you see.
