FM Synthesis: The Right Way to Get Started (With Examples)

We need this

I'm gonna have to watch this a few times to fully absorb it.

As for other synths, Phase Plant can do ANYTHING.

great explanation..thank you.

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

Or use a dedicated FM synth….

Thanks for this tutorial and especially the examples 🥳

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

"Changing the LFO based on the pitch of the note" is where you lost me dude

Great explanation

Just what I was looking for. Thank you.

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

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 :)

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

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. :)

One coll FM synth is Exakt

Need fl studio tutorial

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!
