A detailed walkthrough for the FM-1 synthesizer/workbench has been released, covering its 8 tracks, 6 sound engines and 16 built-in presets, along with step sequencing, mixing, and saving via both the hardware unit and a companion web interface. The guide explains button functions such as HOME, SELECT, PRESETS, EDIT, SEQ, GLO and SAVE, plus computer-keyboard shortcuts for playing notes and controlling playback on the web version.

A GitHub project documents reverse engineering of the M-VAVE FM-1 pocket synthesizer's firmware, identifying its hardware as a JieLi AC791N/WL82 chip with a pi32v2 CPU and a six-operator FM synthesis engine derived from the Dexed/msfa codebase. The repository provides disassembly, function databases, OTA update-protocol analysis, and USB-MIDI tooling, but the maintainers state the main branch deliberately excludes any replacement firmware or custom firmware builders, with that experimental work isolated on a separate branch.
