how many of you use this form of creating sounds in your productions?
how does it compare to the other forms?
what do ya like about it?
im taking a stab at learning it at the moment
and wanna see what type of success people have had with it on this board..as it seems likes its fairly difficult to get a grasp on. |

| I love how it sounds. I hate using it. And from my experience, it's very difficult to figure out how to make it do what you want. |

| yea its great, can yield some much more unique sounds. what i recommend is modulating one oscillator from another, and not fully if you can gradually mix it in, try about 25% and see what kind of character it can add ;) |

| fm is just a synthesis form that lets me modulate oscillators with others (in full frequency) in cascade/parallel/serial mode, so it is a welcome expansion to the analog subtractive synthesis. It lets me create a lot of sounds that do not remain static when trying to create them with analogue type softsynths. I have fm8 and operator and tend to rely on both equally as I hate having to rewire live to logic when I'm composing in the latter, which now happens all the time. I don't like logic's fm synth that much, it's too conceptual and limited, although it sounds ok. |

I use FM quite a bit and, in fact, one of my favorite synths is the Yamaha FS1R, which is widely regarded as the most full-featured FM synth ever created. But, it's a 1U hardware rack synth that is a huge PITA to program. I think it's a synthesis style that is much better suited for software, and synths like FM7/8 and Rob Papen's Blue are both very easy to use in comparison. Image Line's Sytrus is supposedly very nice as well, but I don't have it.
I particularly like FM for electric pianos/tines, punchy basses, plucky arps, and pads.
