Jambox FM-1 editor
The chords on the black keys, eight sets of them, rhythms of your own beside the ones Jambox FM-1 comes with, and a DX7 bank's sounds for the strings and the chord. Change them here and the FM-1 plays them at once.
Not connected. Plug the FM-1 in by USB (Chrome or Edge), or open the emulator in another tab and switch it on.
The last row is how the chord lies: OM, as the Omnichord has it (its notes folded into one octave, the root in the bass); Root, root position; 1st and 2nd, the inversions, with their bottom note in the bass too.
A file holds all eight sets as chord names, so it can also be written by hand (C/E and C/G are C's inversions, C/C its root position). Loading one replaces every set on the FM-1. The FM-1 saves by itself a few seconds after a change, once it is quiet.
This Jambox FM-1 is an older one: update it (or reload the emulator) to make rhythms here.
A step is a sixteenth note. Click a drum's step to switch its hit on and off. The bass and the chord go round with each click: ● play and hold, ○ let go, ◆ play once (it dies away), × cut. Under a bass note that plays, R, 5 or 3 is the chord's root, fifth or third.
The first row is the rhythms Jambox FM-1 comes with: they can be looked at and copied, not changed. The second is your own, eight places; ALGORITHM on the FM-1 reaches the ones that hold something, after Reggae. A change plays at once, so start the rhythm and work by ear.
This Jambox FM-1 is an older one: update it (or reload the emulator) to give it a DX7 bank's sounds.
A bank is a DX7's 32 sounds in one .syx file (4104 bytes), six operators each. On the FM-1 they follow the Omnichord's own voice: Setup 2 (GLO twice), Harp and Chord, turned up. They are played as the patch has them, but without its touch; with one of them no more than nine strings sound at once. The bank stays on the FM-1, saved with the rest.
