Wow, I haven't been on here since November. Where did time go?

Anyway, here's my latest musical experiment. I've been playing around with some microsound effects, specifically FM synthesis.

The #PPZ8 drum set I have been using for the last six years (first used in one of the bonus tracks of my #Redditaisai2019 #Touhou #FMsynthesis #chiptune album #SynthesizedMemories, then expanded over the years with additional percussions), has been retired from service. Moving forward, a new, different, better-​organized drum bank (mostly sourced from a freeware, copyright-​cleared drum VST, but bitcrushed to conform to #PCMsynthesis chiptune standards) will be put into service.

Streaming time! At 12:30 PST today (just about 45 mins from now) I will be streaming a review and tour of the Korg opsix, for those looking for a new synth!

For convenience/by necessity I will be using the plug in version, but I WILL talk about the hardware version too. (I have both)

Ready to make the inscrutable depths of FM synthesis scrutable? Dive into my FM Basics I guide, and learn how to make the weird approaches of FM synthesis (almost) as clear and obvious as a simple subtractive synth!

Made a playlist for all of my FM synth programming content. Two videos each on Korg opsix and Ableton Operator, about 4 hours total. Pretty good intro to FM programming on ANY synth, even if I do say so myself.

Let's stream! Today at 12:30 PST (Pacific/Los Angeles time) I'll be back with more basic FM programming. This time we'll get into algorithms and the rest of the core FM toolset.

This lesson will introduce you to the core components of FM synthesis in a simple way. Today's stream will illustrate its points. Enjoy!

If you are in the market for a new softsynth AND you love FM and weird digital, the plug-in version of the Korg opsix is currently on sale for $99 (along with Modwave & Wavestate plugins; Multi/Poly is $150).

The opsix is one of my favorite synths of all time!

This compilation takes listeners on a journey through the shimmering tones, intricate modulations, and futuristic landscapes of FM synthesis. Sublime Wavelengths is a celebration of the iconic synthesis method of frequency modulation which revolutionised sound design in the 1980s and defined an era of electronic music.

This episode of Sound on Sound's Electronic Music podcast is an excellent dive into FM synthesis, with veteran synth programmer Manny Fernandez.

Starting with the fascinating history of the early patch ecosystem (individual music shops sold their own unique libraries!) before getting into the technical details of different synth architectures and programming techniques. Recommended for synth nerds.

My annoyance at DX7-style 6-operator FM synthesis being discovered and celebrated by a generation young enough to have avoided the indoctrination of the weirdly conservative (in the nonpolitical sense) boomer/genx-era synthesizer enthusiast community that anything with menu-based programming is categorically unusable is that now there are more people competing with me and DX7 prices are rising. Thank goodness for Dexed!
