fm synthesis

give me names of some really good and EASY to use fm soft synths. i love fm synthesis, but am really tired of fm7

absynth 3.... you can chooose the synth type in each patch, fm, sample, granular, doubles etc.....

yeah asynth 3 is really nice, but there are some things that make it user-hostile

'Purple synth 2' on the free plugins page. http://www.blackoutaudio.co.uk/porta...=616037#616037

Or 'operator' in Ableton is a good, 'if simplified', fm synth

Linplug Octopus

The Octopus is a Dual-Matrix synthesizer containing one Matrix for Oscillator/Filter frequency modulation synthesis and another Matrix for general modulation. The key component for building a sound is the instrument’s 8 oscillators, Sampler, 2 filters and 32 envelopes. These components are all it needs to create anything from classic “old school” FM timbres to complex sounds far beyond those possible with conventional FM synthesis.

octopus sounds nicely, but is not intuitive enough.

i ll give a trry to that purple synth, it looks easy to use. it is amazingly ugly, but let us not be racists.

purple synths have feelings too
