Heh, you want a synth that is complicated, Open FM8. The path doesn't even follow a logical order. And all the aspects are on different pages, like filters, evn, oscs etc etc.

Matter of fact, now that i look at it, i cannot even find a filter on FM8..does it even have one?

Somehow this guy managed to figure it out and made a pretty good audio demo out : http://www.adamszabo.com/mp3/Adam_Van_Baker_z3ta%2B_Soundset_Preset_Demo.mp3

i can't belive that this guy produce very cool trance with a creative inspire and a simple pc

my opinion is:
is not the great instrument that makes a good sound but the artist's skill

Yes. Simple cutoff is in the expert tab

lol you have to know quantum physics to know where the cut off knob is...

Did the original FM synthesizers even have filters?

There is no cutoff tab...

I hope your not refering to the X operator

No. Most FM synths, including the DX-series, did not have filters. Similarly, the "filter" in FM8 is not your traditional resonant analog-style filter either. Actually, I believe it's just a 2-pole cutoff that is only available to the X-operator. But, I'm definitely no expert with that synth. Blue is a much easier FM synth to wrap my head around.

Yeah, I didn't think so, since the whole idea of "filtering" is to subtract frequencies and FM synthesis is basically an additive method.

Yes so, i thought FM8 had multiple synth methods...guess not , i coudl sworn i heard some 303 sounds. How do you do that with FM?

Virus TI

I'm starting a new job this week (that pays wayyy better) and I've decided to make a "virus jar".

I'm gonna throw 50-100 bucks in there every week and maybe by summer I can get one, or I may decide to go with a Nord a few months earlier. Nord sounds beautiful but the virus has the ability to put a special "character stamp" in even simple sounds like plucks.

Nord makes nice plucks, but they still sound lost, like they don't know who they belong to.
You hear a virus pluck and you know that pluck belongs to a virus. (a good one)

..this thread was about hardware right?
