Opus 2

OP-1 Portable Synthesizergithub.com

Opus 2 adds a modular plugin system to the original Teenage Engineering OP-1. Its core loads .opmod files from the instrument’s disk, letting owners add or remove synth engines, effects, performance tools and interface changes without rebuilding the firmware for every plugin. The starter pack includes DX7-style FM voice playback, Outatime and Dimension synths, a guitar amp, audio effects, scales and chords, and tape-editing tools. The mods menu shows installed plugins, their dependencies, memory use and processing load. Plugins are copied into the mods folder and loaded at startup; sounds retain their plugin identities so a missing plugin can be restored later. The browser patcher builds the core locally from the owner’s stock firmware file, and the project provides the starter pack and individual plugin downloads. This firmware supports the original OP-1 running stock firmware 246; OP-1 Field is excluded.

Opus 2 Plugin Kit

OP-1github.com

Opus 2 Plugin Kit helps developers create synth engines, effects, themes and workflow extensions for the original Teenage Engineering OP-1 running Opus. It provides C headers, an API reference, plugin manifests and Python tooling for creating, building and inspecting .opmod files. Example projects demonstrate an audio effect, a tape-view tool, a theme and a synth with a custom display. Plugins can use the instrument’s sound lists, pages, controls, settings and storage, with declared dependencies and resource requirements. The documentation covers compiler setup, installing a plugin on the OP-1 and checking its behavior before sharing it. The documented toolchain setup covers Linux and Windows; macOS setup remains unverified. The related OP-1 Mod Registry documents shared names and resources used by community mods.

COSMOS

M-VAVE FM-1github

COSMOS is a drone synthesizer for the M-VAVE FM-1 whose sound follows the sky and weather at a chosen location. A continuous drone supports layered instruments shaped by sunlight, cloud cover, air pressure, the moon and geomagnetic activity. The display draws the sun, moon, planets and stars, while a sweeping star arpeggiator turns their positions into notes. WiFi brings in weather and space-weather readings, while offline and manual modes let the instrument run without a live connection or put those sources under the knobs. Planet selection changes the harmony, and the keyboard plays chords over the evolving texture. A browser emulator provides a way to explore the controls and sound.

FM-SWITCH

M-VAVE FM-1fm-1.drewr.dev

FM-SWITCH is a free native firmware manager for the M-VAVE FM-1. It lets you browse firmware, save it for offline use and switch the connected FM-1 over USB. It checks firmware packages and the connected device before installation, verifies the result afterward and can resume an interrupted install. Optional iCloud sync keeps saved firmware available across Apple devices. The app can back up projects and samples when the FM-1 is running M-VAVE’s open firmware. On Mac, it also supports whole-flash backup and restore through the FM-1’s download mode. The desktop app requires macOS 14 or later; iPhone and iPad versions are available through TestFlight. Windows and Linux builds are not listed by the developer.
