About

Hi! I’m a guitar player, and I’m building Ambrola, my own firmware for the Dirtywave M8 Model:02.
The M8 is one of the best music devices out there, a complete pocket studio. But it’s a tracker, and for recording guitar a tracker workflow isn’t the most comfortable. So I’m making a different take on it: tracks running left to right like in a classic DAW, effects you can reorder and put on any track, drums from samples, a few synths, MIDI and much more use of the touchscreen. All of it is built around recording electric and bass guitar, away from the laptop.
Ambrola is written from scratch on open source libraries. It’s unofficial and not affiliated with or endorsed by Dirtywave. I have a lot of respect for the people who made the M8, and Ambrola uses no code, sounds or presets from their firmware.
How it works here: when a new version is ready, supporters get it first, and three months later it’s free for everyone. Your support gives me more time to work on it.
The project is in development, and I’ll post progress here. As with any custom firmware, installing it is at your own risk.

POWDER roguelike running on m8:2

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on custom firmware for the Dirtywave M8 for a while now. I love this device, and I feel it has the potential to do much more. To me, it’s already one of the best music-making devices out there, but it hasn’t quite suited my workflow, particularly recording guitar and processing its sound.
That’s why I decided to build my own firmware, with an approach closer to a traditional DAW.
I want to make one thing clear: I’m not using any code or assets from the original firmware. I have a lot of respect for the people behind M8 and their work. I’m building my own firmware from scratch, with its own interface and functionality.
In this video, I’d like to show the M8 running something other than its stock firmware. For this demo, I chose one of my favourite games: POWDER, a classic roguelike.
