Load it on the FM-1

  1. Run Caravel 0.6.0, connect USB, stop playback and close other MIDI editors.
  2. Unzip the full performance download. Install Python 3 and the MIDI dependencies:
    python3 -m pip install mido python-rtmidi
  3. In the unzipped folder, check the ports and import into a saved slot you can replace, for example D:
    python3 caravel_backup.py ports
    python3 caravel_backup.py import D Caravel_060_STASIS_HOME.hpm
    The tool asks before writing. The chosen slot is replaced; save an existing project separately if you want to keep it.
  4. On the FM-1, open SAVE → PROJECT → D and load it.

This imports a project; it does not install firmware or automatically load the working project.

The exact HPM passed the firmware's simulated USB import, flash readback and project-load checks. A physical FM-1 import was not performed here.

Play the notes. Make the moves.

The MIDI file plays notes on channel 1 for the SEM Pair and channel 3 for the Drone, at 90 BPM. It sends no CC or SysEx. Perform MORPH, SLICER DEPTH, STR, HOLD, BLEND and STOP yourself using the guide.

Move times start at the beginning of the 30-second performance; in the 42-second Short, this is video time 0:06.
