Product details

Catch a melody before it disappears with the M-VAVE FM-1 portable FM synthesizer. Explore 128 presets on its 27-key silicone keyboard, then shape the sound with a six-operator FM engine, arpeggiator and 16-step sequencer. The built-in speaker lets you start playing without a computer or external sound system.

Start playing before the idea disappears.

Choose from 128 presets and put the 27-key silicone keyboard to work. The built-in speaker lets you sketch a phrase without connecting an external sound system. When the room needs to stay quiet, plug headphones into the 3.5mm output and keep the session to yourself.

Black synthesizer keyboard and rotary controls from an angle

A small keyboard with room to explore.

The six-operator FM engine and 32 algorithms invite bright bells, sharp bass tones, and evolving electronic textures. Turn the controls and listen to how the character changes. The color display keeps the selected parameters in view as you move from a familiar preset toward a sound of your own.

Give the phrase a little momentum.

An arpeggiator and 16-step sequencer add ways to build around a short idea. The rechargeable design keeps the instrument portable, while USB-C MIDI and a 3.5mm MIDI input let it join compatible music equipment. It can be a small sketchbook for a larger session or the center of a simple one.

Headphone, MIDI and USB connections

    Arrived very fast. Grate synth. Amazing how powerful, and affordable at the same time. A very nice surprise 😮 . The durability and build are quite good. On top of that firmware updates keep coming out. Keeps getting better. 😁

    I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as i do. it's very versatile, and you don't have to do a ton of menu diving to get what you want out of it. you can run it on a separate midi controller but i've been getting what i want out of it with just the device and line out. the keys themselves are a little odd, they're sillicone pressure based buttons, but you get used to them. it's small too, the whole device is a bit bigger than a phone. about the size of a dsi xl if you've ever had experience with one. i love this thing, totally worth it.

    This is a really cool little fm synthesiser. i'm new to this kind of stuff, and it's a steep learning curve, but it sounds good - and even better if you plug in an external speaker. i'm going to enjoy this for a long while to come. the item came packed ok in the box - no damage, and arrived very fast. many thanks to the seller.

    Arrived 5 days after ordering, with no damage to the box. It's compact but has the necessary functions, so I'm quite satisfied, but the preset sounds are lacking. I hope they will be refined in future updates.

    really great. Very good quality and excellent sound. Honestly, it's a DX7 at a very low price. I highly recommend it.

Questions before you buy

Will it make sound without a computer?

Yes. It has its own FM sound engine and built-in speaker. A computer is optional for compatible connected workflows.

Are these full-size piano keys?

No. The FM-1 uses 27 compact silicone keys. It suits portable playing and sound exploration; its feel differs from a full-size or weighted keyboard.

Can it connect to my setup?

USB-C MIDI and a 3.5mm MIDI input support compatible equipment. Check your device’s MIDI connection and adapter requirements before connecting.

How do I choose the correct option?

Use the option buttons above the Add to cart button and check the selected name, image, price, and availability before ordering. Choose only the option that matches the version you want.

How long does shipping take?
Standard shipping is free on every order, with no minimum spend. Delivery estimates and optional express rates are shown at checkout. View shipping policy.
