Unofficial M-VAVE FM-1 emulator with MIDI, presets and Rusti skins

Mutafono FM-1 is an unofficial emulator of the M-VAVE FM-1 synthesizer for Ubuntu.

Explore compatible .fwsc firmware and play with your computer keyboard or a MIDI controller. Shape sounds with on-screen knobs and buttons, use right-click hold for firmware functions, and save or recall your presets and sessions.

Features:

  • Import compatible firmware files and browse the firmware catalog.
  • Keep downloaded firmware on your computer for later use.
  • Play with your computer keyboard, external MIDI devices or a virtual MIDI port for your music software.
  • Save, restore and delete presets and sessions, and preserve firmware flash state.
  • Record audio to WAV.
  • Choose light or dark mode and an interface available in 17 languages.
  • Personalize the instrument with graphic covers and skins granted by the artist Rusti, including the Rusti 101–118 collection.

The original M-VAVE firmware must be obtained and imported manually by the user. Firmware compatibility and available functions depend on the selected firmware.

Currently available for Ubuntu on amd64 (64-bit Intel/AMD). This independent application is not affiliated with or endorsed by M-VAVE.

MIDI access on first installation: choose “Enable MIDI” in the app, then open Ubuntu Settings → Apps → Mutafono FM-1 and enable “Play and record sound” (ALSA). Alternatively, run sudo snap connect mutafono:alsa. Close and reopen Mutafono afterwards. WAV recording captures the synthesizer’s internal sound and does not need microphone permission.
