FM Synth Wave

By dr0ptpacket on January 24, 2026 6:50 pm

Another humbling week of getting back to the basics. This week I followed Floyd Steinberg's tutorial (maybe a little too close) on m8 FM synthesis. I'm learning a lot and so grateful for this community and support.

That bass has all the right hair, nice chippy arps in the background. The m8 is the gift that keeps giving.

Looking good on that FM sound design.  Great drums holding it up, too cool

Fiancé "This is great, too.  There's this tiny robot hovering around in the background.  Oh yeah, that guy."  (after some discussion 'that guy' == the arp tongue )
