Community developers are writing their own custom firmware, also called alternative firmware, for the Plaits. This is a selection, not every fork or experiment: we list the projects with a working build and a real following, and check them every day. FW Radar doesn’t host these files and doesn’t send alerts for their versions: each link opens the developer’s page.
A free browser tool that builds your own Plaits firmware: fill the slots with factory, Braids, Rubato Labs and community models, choose chord tables and options, then export a .wav to install.
Leave headroom under the 224 KB flash limit: the size estimate can run slightly low. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Mutable Instruments.

The Mutable Instruments Plaits is no longer made, but Mutable Instruments can still ship firmware for it and we keep checking the official download page. One message per release. No spam, no newsletter.

It’s written by independent developers, not by Mutable Instruments. Some projects are stable, others are early betas: read each developer’s notes before you flash.
Yes: load the official 1.2, as described in the official update guide.
We pick the ones worth trying: a build you can install and a real following, from GitHub stars and downloads or from the community. Forks that only rename a project or add a few presets stay out, and brand-new projects get a second look after their first week.
We note the latest version each developer has published when we check the list, every day, but we don’t send alerts for it: alerts are only for official Mutable Instruments firmware.
