FM8 sounds great but a fucking nightmare to program, absolutely detest the interface so meh to FM8 and operator still wins.

the above is correct though, if you know synthesis then you can take whatever simple synth and get good sounds out of it.

I second this.

Try Zebralette if you want to know how zebra 2 feels.

also, yes FM8 is capable of so much only to be crippled by the retarded interface

I usually just find a preset that's close to what I'm after and then tweak it until it's right. I find it impossible to get what I want when I start from scratch on FM8.

all my synth work starts from scratch unless its a patch i've already made in another project so fuck dealing with a synth that i hate programming. if i can't get the sound of operator chucking a couple or more in an instrument rack usually gets the job done. there are some sounds like detuned saw based sounds where i go for dune cos it's very quick to program those types of sound in there.

dont have FM8... havent used it rly so I cant say.

But it seems like a lot of the monster bass sounds esp bro stuff is coming out of FM8, it looks awesome.

Fm8 interface is easier than folding a peice of paper . And it's a alien bro monstergrowl machine. It also makes lovely pads.

It also makes lovely leads. It also makes lovely drums. It also makes lovely sweeps. It also makes lovely risers.

It also makes lovely competition to Sytrus...which also makes all the aforementioned lovely things.

I haven't really used either, but I'd be more open to operator than massive

lol ^

@op, do not be mislead with massive, it's great but far overused. everyone and their mums have massive, you should get some synth like alchemy, albino, z3ta (if you are on pc), or absynth. maaaany other great synths out there but if you want massive go ahead and get it.

Everyone and their mums has those synths too. Maybe you should try Electrax, that doesn't seem to be as rinsed. But in the end, it's not the synth, but how you use it.
