You missed a very significant FM synth that I had to recommend to everyone, the company is Plogue, and the instrument is Chip Synth OPS7. It is hands down the most accurate software recreation of the DX7. They went through the entire synth including the output converters. And it's inexpensive 😊
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 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
Just what I was looking for. Thank you.
Thanks for this tutorial and especially the examples 🥳
Really good video mate.... Your presentation style is excellent. Thx.
thank you for sharing. appreciated
great explanation..thank you.
Great explanation
I'm gonna have to watch this a few times to fully absorb it. As for other synths, Phase Plant can do ANYTHING.
i would suggest trying a synclavier emulation, as a reghen owner i'de love to see you compare algorythme type of fm, and synclavier type. i'm learning the unit but i;'m not shure i can cvross mod partials to create more complex fm "algorythmes", i'de love to see someone confortable with fm talk about this. it seems to me that a yam fm synth doesnt have a larger panel of sounds and textures than a syclavier engine... thoughts ?
You got any more FM synth tutorials? Some patch recipes would be enormously helpful.
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!

Glad you enjoyed it! Our course Breakthrough Sound Design covers FM synthesis which we'll be opening for enrolment at some point again this year. Keep an eye out :)
19:57 And we're adding another little 8itch
6:47 lmaooooo that is the most British image i have ever seen i laughed for like 7 minutes
I love FM8. Luckily, unlike Absynth IV it still runs on Windows 10 without glitches.
One coll FM synth is Exakt
Your analogies are confusing but this was still informative.
helicopter synthesis
Need fl studio tutorial
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. :)

Or use a dedicated FM synth….
