FM Synth

FM Synth module implements a basic frequency modulation synthesizer. It generates a modulating waveform that alters the frequency of the base oscillator, creating rich and complex sounds often used in electronic music.

FM Synth module

Parameters

  • Strength: This parameter controls the intensity of the frequency modulation effect. A higher strength value results in more pronounced frequency variations, while a lower value produces subtler effects.
  • Divisor: This parameter sets the frequency of the modulating waveform as a fraction of the base frequency. A lower divisor results in a higher modulator frequency, leading to more rapid frequency changes in the output sound.

Example usage

  • Use basic FMSynth for mimicing bell like or guitar sounds
  • FMSynth works great with sci-fi sounds, especially when combined with sharp waveforms like Square or Saw
  • Use Strength in ping-pong mode to create a buzzing sounds like cutting with a saw blade
  • FMSynth with noise waves produce very resonating effects useable in many contexts
  • High Divisor values can help you creating sci-fi sounds like spaceship takeoff or laser beams
  • High Divisor, high Strength and some sort of Noise wave can be used to mimic machine engines
