Simple introduction to FM synthesis and some quick tips

[@psionic111]

Thx for the tutorial, just got to the part where you explain modulator and carrier. Correction: a saw is not supposed to be created when a sine modulates a sine. Not sure where you got that impression, but as you stated, if you look at the oscilloscope wave shape or a spectral analyzer, it is not a saw. Now a single sine feeding back into itself DOES create a saw… however, this is not the same as an external sine modulating a sine. Ok, back to the video.

Please upload more FM tips there is such little video help out there past the fundamentals

Good idea I’ll put that in the TODO list

[@GertBoers]

Very informative, especially the part on the feedback.

Just got the Korg opsix and volca fm and love fm...Arturia DX7 is amazing...These are the tones I been seeking for many years...I bought many synths chasing the FM sounds and never knew....Better late then never!

Great video

[@thomasehrlich6465]

Hey good work! Very practical. Any tips on layering or overlapping of sounds?

[@Nu-trix]

I'll put that in a follow up video.

Thanks, great stuff as always.

A great explanation of FM synthesis. Thanks!

Good explanation. I was into electronic music in the late 80's with my own basic MIDI keyboard, FB-01 and effects unit and Amstrad CPC6128, trying to reproduce Jean Michel Jarre! What a long time ago. I never owned a true synth but I got to use a DX7 a little in a music club at college in perhaps 1988. I had no idea how to use FM synthesis and couldn't make any useful sounds. They had the gear but no-one to teach, no internet of course, and too much pressure on limited equipment. I guess there was a manual(?) or I couldn't understand it. Not sure what happened the club but it didn't last long. Tragic loss.

thanks for showing us how fm synthesis works 👍👍

Great video! Love the beard🤘

Thanks. I’m kinda testing it.
