MUTABLE DREAMS 1.3 — DUST, WARMTH AND MOVEMENT

Thank you for the music and the detailed feedback. This update brings more
contrasting sounds, gentler textures and safer exploration to the M-VAVE FM-1.

NEW SOUNDS
Five original Lo-Fi kits contain 40 drum and texture samples. Use one kit
with three synth tracks, or keep six freely assignable synth tracks. Pad
pitch, level, soft filter, tail and granular send are editable. Record or
generate kit steps. Forty-eight additional sounds and sixteen Biomes bring
the totals to 336 tone presets and 108 musical Biomes plus Blank.

MORE MOVEMENT
Two independent LFOs per synth track can slowly move filter, colour, pan,
grain send, effect sends, Warps blend or a soft amplitude swell. Each has
four curves and its own cycle. Six-synth mode offers twelve routed LFOs;
kit mode offers six. They are saved with complete Biomes, and are not synced
to MIDI clock. The existing Breathe modulation remains available.

PHRASES AND HARMONY
Five sequence directions, offset and gentle velocity feel join four new
generators. There are eight chord journeys, up to sixteen bars per chord,
and Nearby root moves for smaller transposition jumps. Generating replaces
the selected phrase; ENV undoes. Keyboard step entry, live recording and
chord progressions existed in 1.2 and are extended here.

SAFER AND EASIER TO READ
An accidental Biome change now asks what to do with unsaved edits. The 240 ×
240 display gains larger type, calm page palettes, translucent controls and
responsive little organisms. Held function buttons still show contextual help.
GLO → LOOK / STARTUP → K4 controls the unselected button LEDs: Off, Dim or
Soft. The setting saves with preferences. The existing hardware offers two
dim levels; this feature does not add a new LED PWM audio workload.

INSTALLATION
Stock V15 and Stock V16 were verified as starting points using the exact
USB update protocol. Official M-UPGRADE installed manufacturer V16 from V15,
but rejected the custom 1.3 package with “File format error”. Use the
included browser or Python installer for Mutable Dreams. Save your User
Banks as .mddb and unsaved live patch as JSON first. A full bank restore
requires physical SEL confirmation. Do not assume a direct route from every
third-party firmware. The public 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2 releases remain unchanged.

LIMITS
The five kits are fixed original assets; arbitrary WAV import and Bluetooth
MIDI are not in 1.3. USB MIDI is tested. Physical TRS-MIDI cable testing is
still outstanding. Automatic FULL/ECO admission remains in place for dense
patches. See DEVICE-TEST-REPORT-1.3.txt for measured scope.

With gratitude to Émilie Gillet, Mutable Instruments and the community.
Mutable Dreams is independent and unaffiliated with Mutable Instruments.
