Good. It's been helping my understanding of FM as well to make these patches and explain how they work. |

Made this patch for fun...it's a pad sound called "Back to the 80s" for obvious reasons: [mp3]
I couldn't resist backing it up with an '80s drum loop. :D
Operators A and B provide the low end, while C and D give brightness to it. The routing is mostly in parallel (operators going directly out rather than through one another), though there is a little modulation from A to B to C to give it some more sparkle. If you turn off Operators D and C it sounds more usable in the context of today's music: [mp3]
And here's the patch: [patch] |

yeah a sticky would be great
anyway is it just me or does the FM pad sound more inspirational then any other analogue modelling synth? |

Late at night, so it's time for a weird patch. ;)
[mp3]

This one uses FM7's pitch envelope to slide the pitch up automatically when the note is released. The amplitude of Operators E and F is set to increase as well (through their envelopes), giving it a kind of "delay" effect even when played dry. You can tone down the envelope a bit to get a more "musical"-sounding result: [mp3]
Here's the patch: [patch] |

^ With a little tweaking of the envelopes in the patch above -- making the attack punchier, decreasing the volume in the release phase, and toning down the pitch bend of the release phase, I got this weird little synth keyboard noise:

jbj this is great stuff!
I need to use FM7/8 some more. I really don't like 8, its interface is sort of annoying, even though its technically more compact than 7.
Oh well, good stuff again! |

|

I just made a simple saw chord with a bit of FModulation in FM8... dunno if thats what you mean
sample and preset here:
