Open firmware for the SMK-37

Felucca's synthesis and sequencing on the SMK's 37 keys, pads, knobs, faders, wheels and display: engines from FM6 to phase distortion, chiptune and samples, a step sequencer, a browser Studio and a simulator.

One polyphonic analog-style synth after the classic 8-voice American polys of 1979-84: 32 programs, chorus, delay and plate reverb, an arpeggiator, a two-track step sequencer on the 16 pads, filter and effects on the fader banks.

A microtonal drone synth: eight drones in eight columns, each a little soot creature on the screen, the pads gate them, a CHAOS pad, fader banks, 96 presets in six themes. After the Subharmonicon and the Horn of Abraxas.

An orbiting overtone synth: four corners of two overtone generators each, a sun on a path and a moon around it decide how much of each you hear. Pads and knobs are the planets, the faders the path; eight sounds, MIDI out on the 3.5 mm jack. After the Beetlecrab Vector.

SLOOP, the four-track looper groovebox, with the SMK's pads in track colours, a pad sound picker, fader banks and drums on the outer keys.

A 909, an 808, two 303s with a line generator and a breakbeat player, all at once; the pads as a 16-step grid.

An Omnichord-style chord harp: the 16 pads become the strum plate, the keybed holds the chords.

An always-on ambience machine: power it on and a new, random, in-key world is already playing; verbs on the buttons and wheels.

A music toy for kids: colour-coded notes on the pads, 40 friends who sing along, no menus.

Dungeon synth: dark ambient, medieval and fantasy sounds, drones, a hurdy-gurdy crank and two sounds at once.

A chord instrument in the manner of the Orchid: one hand plays roots, the other picks the chord.

A four-track groovebox with OP-1-inspired screens: three synth parts, a drum machine, an event tape and a mixer.

A generative ambient machine after Music for Airports: loops of different lengths drift past each other and never repeat.

A pocket arranger after the Yamaha QY70: a band of eight General MIDI instruments follows the chords you play.

A synth groovebox in the look of Winamp 2.x, built on SLOOP: player, playlist, effect sliders and a visualizer.
