Instead of operator pages and ratio tables, you draw your FM connections directly on a 7\" touchscreen, shape waveforms with your fingertips, and morph the whole thing in real time. It is FM made visual, physical and genuinely fun — which is exactly why it won the Sonicstate Award for Best Innovation at SuperBooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnder the playful exterior sits a serious 4-part multitimbral engine. Each part is its own 4-operator FM synth with a custom-routable algorithm, a morph envelope, a dynamic wave folder and waveshaping — and the four parts can run polyphonically or monophonically, together, across the same or separate MIDI channels. Build a lush pad, a biting bass, a chiming lead and a percussive hit, and play all four at once from one compact, battery-ready instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDesigned to keep you playing\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDraw-your-own FM:\u003c\/strong\u003e create operator connections and algorithms by hand on the touchscreen — no hidden matrices, no manual required.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpressive by touch:\u003c\/strong\u003e pressure-sensitive pads and dedicated controllers respond to how hard and how you play, not just which note.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe Playground:\u003c\/strong\u003e an integrated arranger, sequencer and highly versatile arpeggiator, plus a MIDI looper to capture, multiply, bounce and overdub performances on the fly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTune your own world:\u003c\/strong\u003e a microtonal quantizer with up to 256 user scales lets you compose in just intonation, custom temperaments or anything you invent.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGo anywhere:\u003c\/strong\u003e built-in stereo speakers and optional lithium-battery power make it a complete, standalone studio you can pick up and play.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBuilt to fit your setup\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst Love is happy on its own and just as happy at the heart of a rig. Route its four parts out as two stereo pairs or four independent mono outputs, sync hardware over the analog sync I\/O or 5-pin MIDI, and connect to a computer, controller or app over USB-C and Bluetooth. Per-part reverb, delay, chorus and a freezer effect mean every voice arrives finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eQuick Specs\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-operator FM with custom algorithms, wave folding \u0026amp; waveshaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArchitecture:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-part multitimbral, polyphonic \u0026amp; monophonic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7\" capacitive touchscreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerformance:\u003c\/strong\u003e pressure-sensitive pads \u0026amp; dedicated controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSequencing:\u003c\/strong\u003e arranger, sequencer, arpeggiator \u0026amp; MIDI looper (\"The Playground\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTuning:\u003c\/strong\u003e microtonal quantizer, up to 256 user scales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEffects:\u003c\/strong\u003e reverb, delay, chorus \u0026amp; freezer (per part)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutputs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 stereo \/ 4 mono + stereo headphone (3.5 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMIDI \/ Sync:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-pin MIDI I\/O, analog sync I\/O\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB-C (power \u0026amp; data), Bluetooth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpeakers:\u003c\/strong\u003e built-in stereo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB-C or 4× lithium batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFootprint:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 19 × 24 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMade in:\u003c\/strong\u003e Reykjavík, Iceland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePros:\u003c\/strong\u003e Makes deep FM intuitive; four independent instruments in one; hugely expressive pads; standalone with speakers and battery option; flexible multi-out routing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCons:\u003c\/strong\u003e A fresh, touchscreen-first workflow that rewards a little exploration; first production run is limited.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf FM has always intrigued you but never quite let you in, this is where it clicks.
