Does anyone here really understand FM8 or know any good tutorials on the web, the only ones I can find are abouit chainging presets, I wan't to understand what I am actually doing, and I looked at the fm synthesis tut on SOS but can't quite get my head round it. I need something that describes it in detail but in an easy to understand way.

Thanks in advance.

I know subtractive and wavetable and make all my own patches but FM is totaly diferent in how it works.

do you know FM synthesis?

Actually no, I thought it works as any other synth, sry mate, got to check it out sometimes, is there a demo?

I'm fine with synthesis and modulation matrixes, and even then, FM8 confuses me. Maybe if i got used to the workflow i'd use it more but I can't see myself switching to using it more than massive/absynth/reaktor.

FM8 is ALL i use, rest is samples.. its a AMAZING synth, heres a video on basic FM synthesis

Watch that, and then just fill in the blanks on FM8! The Matrix planel is amazing on it you get some really interesting sounds also I love the cabs on it, they're not that authentic but they give out some RAW sounds for your bass. check out "Venus Fly Trap" on the Myspace, I made the bass on that, on FM8

yes go to the native instrument site fm8 sound amazing but hard to program compared to subtractive/additive

Also, if you want a lot of oscilators and not FM.. I would reccomend Octopus by LinPlug

Its essentially FM8 but not FM.. heh

the video is great I know understand the basics I hope he brings out the next one soon
