This is a good way of looking at it. Ive seen so many synths that try and get this sound using just the engine and not with any effects. Makes total sense to take a clean tone and use distortion. Much more natural sounding.

Awesome video man.

[@one1zero0eight8]

Outstanding! Can’t wait to try this!

Here's how you get a distorted guitar sound using Yamaha FM. Operator level up, select the one and only algorithm that doesn't use FM then put it through the guitar distortion effect. Boom!

[@Expectaz]

Fat sound!! Thanks for explaining!

[@peterwilson69]

I own a MODX; I tried just a pure sine wave with an AMP distortion effect which didn't sound that good. The FM engine, and a few small/easy tweaks really makes a big difference, even though it is a relatively small change and a simple algorithm.

Sounds great. My Roland FA07 electric guitar sounds are not that good.

[@PakBudiTarigan]

Does it has pulse wave sound? Or can modx create pulse wave sounds? Thank you
