SLOOP 2.8 Is Here! New Sequencer on the M-VAVE FM-1

SLOOP 2.8 is here for the M-VAVE FM-1, and the biggest new feature is a much more flexible piano-roll-style sequencer! In this video, I try it out by building a loop from scratch and showing how to edit notes, adjust note lengths, work with chords, and edit drum patterns. I'm a huge fan of SLOOP, so I wanted to get a first look out while the update is still fresh. This is an early hands-on look at the new features, with a focus on the sequencer and how it changes the way you make music on the FM-1. I haven't tested every new feature yet, especially the MIDI updates, so consider this a first look rather than a complete review. I'll explore more as I get the chance. A big thank you to the developers working on SLOOP, and to everyone watching and supporting the channel! Links SLOOP project: https://github.com/isod89/sloop-fm1 Have you tried SLOOP 2.8 yet?
