Whilst I understand FM basics I have no idea what this hill analogy was about lol - good detailed intro to FM though. I could follow and I use hardware FM synths. + he pronounced TIMBRE correctly :)

You missed a very significant FM synth that I had to recommend to everyone, the company is Plogue, and the instrument is Chip Synth OPS7. It is hands down the most accurate software recreation of the DX7. They went through the entire synth including the output converters. And it's inexpensive 😊

"Trial & Error Synthesis", "Modified Beeping", from 50 yrs ago, when this guy wasn't even born. "Imagine climbing uphill"? 😂 Imagine driving a F1 car with a steam engine.

i would suggest trying a synclavier emulation, as a reghen owner i'de love to see you compare algorythme type of fm, and synclavier type. i'm learning the unit but i;'m not shure i can cvross mod partials to create more complex fm "algorythmes", i'de love to see someone confortable with fm talk about this. it seems to me that a yam fm synth doesnt have a larger panel of sounds and textures than a syclavier engine... thoughts ?

Ayy man! Loved the video, I'm usually just a lurker but I got some great tips from this, I have watched many videos on FM synthesis, any book or series or course u would suggest that will go like more in depth.Thanks!

[@EDMProd]

Glad you enjoyed it! Our course Breakthrough Sound Design covers FM synthesis which we'll be opening for enrolment at some point again this year. Keep an eye out :)

Really opened my mind more to FM synthesis. I always thought it was just for metallic percussive sounds and trippy basses, but it can clearly do a lot more! I also understand how to program an FM synth now too lol

[@LivasStudio]

Your analogies are confusing but this was still informative.

[@dinogoldie9716]

You got any more FM synth tutorials? Some patch recipes would be enormously helpful.

[@airfixx_8952]

Really good video mate.... Your presentation style is excellent. Thx.

I love FM8. Luckily, unlike Absynth IV it still runs on Windows 10 without glitches.

Thanks for this tutorial and especially the examples 🥳

[@norakat]

Just what I was looking for. Thank you.

[@rays7805]

I'm gonna have to watch this a few times to fully absorb it. As for other synths, Phase Plant can do ANYTHING.

19:57 And we're adding another little 8itch

[@Rubi8Hz]

thank you for sharing. appreciated

6:47 lmaooooo that is the most British image i have ever seen i laughed for like 7 minutes

[@julianguffogg]

Or use a dedicated FM synth….

[@derekholland3328]

great explanation..thank you.

[@JohnPaulBuce]

helicopter synthesis

[@watkins7086]

Great explanation

[@Some_Guy_Called_Raven]

The only issue I have with this video is that it is almost ignoring hardware options. I have a DX9, and I think you could have given more attention to the algorithm used in your examples. Not all of us use soft synths... Which is ok. :)

@Rising star can you post again if you were successful?
