Great work dude, really informative once again. Perhaps you could run through a few different variations for the next section (hoping there will be a next section)?

I've always understoof what FM is supposed to do, but thanks to your posts I'm actually beginning to see how to achieve the results I'm after

I was thinking of doing a different type of sound for each one (plucks, leads / keys, basses, FX, etc.).

Good, that's the point of this post, to get some practical results while learning the functions of different parts of an the synth so you can start to generalize the knowledge to making other sounds.

I am pretty bad with synthesis and lately i have been getting all these sounds in my head that i want in my tracks, i decided to give fm synthesis a ago and just bought fm 8. I have no friggin clue as to what i am doing and this helped a ton. Thanks mate, i look forward to any future topics about fm synthesis

im looking forward to the Plucks and Leads section!

I only wish FM7 was more thicker sounding, so that putting more time into the actual synthesis would be more worthwile. Nice and informative tutorial nevertheless.

Really, really awesome! Thanks a lot m8. This helps me in understanding FM a bit more. Hoping for some more tutorials on FM Synthesis (especially lead and plucks )..

Fantastic contribution, JBJ. This forum can use more threads like this.

I recommend going for "big" attack stabby sounds (dare I say it... deadmau5'ey). It would be somewhat the "opposite" of a slow pad sound, so it would seem to make sense.

I've been trying to get some solid FM donk like sounds but keep getting a heavy bell sound, which isn't all that bad tbh but not what I'm after

do the Donk bass next!

I'm not really sure what you guys mean by a "donk" sound. Can you give me some examples so I have an idea what to aim for?
