FM7 is not hard to program. the yamaha DX7 that its based on *is* a nightmare to program though. credit due to native instruments for making FM7 easier to program than the original and making it sound better and look better. but really FM synthesis is not much different from subtractive synthesis. the only difference is the way the oscillator behaves because you set 1 or more of the oscillators to modulate the frequency of the others. it works just like an filter envelope does on the filter. only on the oscillator instead. course, that means that the oscillators behave very very differently because you can work in natural harmonic oscillations. hence the bell like quality of alot of fm patches. you can make some freaky noise too if you tune the oscillators out though.

thx, cheers

I think I'm going to make a song with nothing but these Fm7 presets, well I might add some pads from another VSTi and use z3ta for a bass.
