Unlock the World of FM Synthesis with FMMF
FMMF by de la Mancha is more than just an FM synthesizer. It’s a tool designed to make the complex world of FM synthesis accessible and inspiring, providing unprecedented control over sound through deep modulation capabilities. Forget about dull, static sounds – FMMF will breathe life into your compositions.
This plugin is designed with two key goals: to make FM synthesis as understandable and user-friendly as possible, and to provide a wealth of dynamics and movement through multi-stage envelopes and LFOs. The result is an instrument that allows you to create everything from classic FM timbres to completely unique, evolving soundscapes.
The Core of FM Synthesis
- 4 operators for creating rich and complex timbres.
- 17 different FM algorithms for exploring various synthesis structures.
- 11 unique waveforms for each operator, including a note sync option.
Incredible Modulation Capabilities
- 7 multi-segment envelopes with up to 32 stages each! Modulate amplitude, pitch, and effects with incredible precision.
- Each envelope can run in free tempo or sync to the project tempo, and each stage can have its own unique curve.
- Define your own sustain and loop points in the envelopes with flexible locking options.
- 3 powerful LFOs for modulating pitch and effects.
- LFOs can operate in free mode or sync to tempo, offering 20 waveforms, phase options, and note sync.
- Each LFO has its own ADSR envelope for additional control.
Additional Tools for Creativity
- Tempo-synced arpeggiator with 6 modes, note length, and octave range settings.
- Resonant low-pass filter with key and velocity tracking, which can be modulated by envelopes or LFOs.
- Distortion effect with 18 varieties, also available for modulation.
- Delay effect with comb delay option, size, feedback, and damping settings, which is also subject to modulation.
- Harmonics settings from 1 to 256, with frequency limiting beyond the Nyquist frequency.
- Adjustable polyphony from 1 to 16 voices.
- Portamento function for smooth transitions between notes.
- 64 high-quality presets by Brian Botkiller, covering a wide range of styles and immediately demonstrating the plugin’s capabilities.
FMMF is not just a tool; it’s a creative laboratory for sound experimentation. Its combination of accessibility and depth makes it a valuable asset for both newcomers to FM synthesis and experienced sound designers looking for unique timbres and dynamics.
