FMMF is a 4-operator FM (Frequency Modulation) synthesizer. It came third in the KVR Developer Challenge 2009.

FMMF has 2 primary aims:

1. Make FM synthesis as accessible and user-friendly as possible.
2. Use multi-stage envelopes and LFOs to give lots of movement and modulation.

The waveforms, algorithms and envelopes are all shown graphically, with the envelopes allowing dragging of nodes and clicking to change contour. Special attention has been paid to the envelopes to allow you to customise them in many ways, such as the number of stages, the contour of each stage, sustain and repeat points and tempo-sync. There are envelopes for the volume of each operator, the pitch, and the effects section (filter, distortion and delay) all with velocity and key tracking. Further modulation comes in the form of LFOs for the pitch and effects section, with many waveforms including randomising.

For further sound design potential you have a low pass filter, a multi-mode distortion and a flexible delay (with comb delay option). An arpeggiator lets you add even more movement to create rhythmic sequences.

The default preset bank was created by sound designer brian botkiller and shows off the potential of FMMF to make atmospheric pads and leads with lots of movement, big fat bass sounds, funky arps and oddball sound fx.

Features:

• 4 Operator FM Synthesis instrument with 17 FM algorithms.
• 11 different waveforms per operator, with note sync option.
• 7 Multi-segment Envelopes (up to 32 stages) for amp, pitch and effects modulation · 3 LFOs for pitch and effects modulation.
• All envelopes can be free or tempo-sync, each stage can have its own contour.
• Envelopes can have user defined sustain and repeat points with flexible locking and zeroing options.
• LFOs can be free or tempo sync, with 20 waveforms and phase & note sync options.
• Each LFO has its own ADSR envelope.
• Arpeggiator with 6 modes and adjustable tempo-sync, note length and octave range.
• Resonant low pass filter with key and velocity tracking, can be modulated by envelopes or LFOs.
• Distortion effect with 18 flavours, can be modulated by envelopes or LFOs.
• Delay with comb delay option, size, feedback and damping, modulated by envelope or LFO.
• Harmonics can be adjusted from 1 to 256, with limit on frequency beyond Nyquist.
• Polyphony adjustable from 1 to 16 voices.
• Portamento time.
• 64 presets by brian botkiller covering many styles.

F2FM is an FM synth that places a filter before the modulator. It’s designed for bass sounds with interesting modulation options.

Features:

• 23 waveforms to select from.
• 2 operator oscillators with individual filters, which can be mixed before being sent to the modulator oscillator.
• Individual detune for all 3 oscilators.
• FM and PM mode.
• A comb filter for distortion.

Example Synth is a very basic (user interface wise and synth-engine wise) FM synthesizer created as an example of Stefan’s Jewel user interface framework. It may not be too useful in its current state as there are some common features missing (e.g. no MIDI controller support yet) and it may still contain some bugs.

Double Six XXL is a 6-operator FM synth with 32 DX7 algorithms and 16 4-operator algorithms.

Features:

• 6-operator FM synth with 32 DX7 algorithms and 16 4-operator algorithms.
• Every operator has its own envelope. You can choose between 1 and 8 stages and set the sustain point from 1 to 7 or off.
• Every operator has a clipper, overdrive, lowpass filter and a distortion.
• 2 octave sequencers with Destinations operator 1 to 6.
• 4 envelopes with retrigger mode on BPM rates.
• 3 LFOs with 19 different waveforms with 16 different BPM rates and free rate (manual) mode. Destinations of the LFOs are pitch operator 1 to 6, phase modulation 1 to 6 and cutoff.
• The LFOs can start free (any point of the LFO waveform), gated starts when you hit a key or first (starts when you hit play in the sequencer).
• An octave pitch.
• 14 different curves for the envelopes. All envelopes have a time knob. You can switch between the envelope and volume.
• The operators can be disabled, fixed or pitched and have a octave range from -6 to 3, fine-tune and pulse width.
• 11 different waveforms for the operators.
• The filter has the same envelope and there are 10 different filters types low-pass 12db, low-pass 24db, low-pass db32, hi-pass, band-pass, CK low pass, CK Band pass, CK hi pass, CK notch and CK peak.
• Volume envelope.
• EZ preset: This allows you make new sounds fast. You can reset all fine-tunes with the hit of a button or change all waveforms, set all the octaves the same and the times of the envelopes.
• Phase modulation depth control and a feedback control.
• Volume envelope.
• Note sequencer.
• Build in effects are Chorus, stereo delay, gater, clipper, overdrive, distortion and phaser effects.
• Velocity controls.
• Voice/poly control.
