MUTABLE DREAMS 1.1 — WARMER WORLDS, YOUR OWN BIOMES
25 October 2026

Thank you for the recordings, questions and generous feedback that shaped this
update. Mutable Dreams remains a free, independent community instrument for
the M-VAVE FM-1, with deep gratitude to Émilie Gillet and Mutable Instruments.

WHAT'S NEW SINCE 1.0
- Twelve engines across six freely assignable tracks. New Round Bass,
  Elements Strike, Mellow Drift and Satin Morph expand the original palette.
- 224 factory tones and 76 musical Biomes plus Blank. New soft, warm starting
  points include Mellow Canopy, Satin River and Velour Dawn.
- Global mixer with levels and granular, delay and room sends. Shared effects
  bring melodic voices, bass and percussion into the same space.
- Bassline modes, glide and editable 16-step phrases with notes, rests,
  accents and probability. Independent STEP mode does not use Euclidean gates.
- Sixteen named User Biomes and sixty-four User Sound slots, with overwrite
  confirmation. Save while stopped and using the internal clock.
- Original Marbles-inspired remembered variation, Tides-inspired cyclic
  modulation and Warps-inspired ring blending. These are not full module ports.
- USB and TRS MIDI input and external clock support. USB was tested; the
  physical TRS connector still needs a cable test. No MPE, MIDI output or
  live MIDI recording is claimed.
- Live bidirectional browser editor, live-patch JSON import/export and complete
  .mddb saved-bank backup/restore. Full bank restore requires physical SEL.
- Nineteen device pages, organic animated backgrounds, leaf-shaped controls,
  clearer headings and contextual held-button help.
- Audio scheduling and DSP block optimizations, storage/transfer safeguards,
  granular checks across Grain Size 19/20/21 and higher values, and the Density
  slider synchronization fix.

UPDATE AND RECOVERY
Direct update from the published Mutable Dreams 1.0 is supported and tested
on the exact 1.1 release file. You do not need to visit Stock V15 first.
Original Stock V15 installation and return are documented. Read Recovery-1.1.txt
and use the backup procedure for your current version: 1.0 does not have the
new full-bank .mddb protocol. Returning to V15 erases 1.1 User Banks/preferences.
On 1.1 keep BOTH .mddb for saved data and JSON for any unsaved live edits.
The published v1.0 release, firmware files and tag remain unchanged.

QUALIFICATION AND LIMITS
Exact final file: 8e039bb0e9681fbbb0504e9b7d251895958fd88ae97f11ff0342b4aef38143d2
USB identity: FM-1_710010100. Firmware size: 610136 bytes.
Measured final-build dense playback tests peaked at 84.67% and 79.60% of the
callback budget, with zero NEW audio faults in those windows. A stopped flash
restoration produced one separately recorded timing event; saving is not an
uninterrupted playback operation. Full V15 roundtrip/cold-start/longer stress
evidence belongs to the functional predecessor with identical DSP, platform
and update loader. See DEVICE-TEST-REPORT.txt for exact scope. The owner's
visible browser tests include import and restore; no automated browser GUI
test is claimed. Not every possible six-track patch has been exhaustively
tested. The second CPU core stays disabled; no unlimited polyphony claim.
