A fun techno song I made using community & custom FM synths. I still don't know what I'm doing or why I keep fumbling around with knobs and not reading any documentation.

Possible goal for next week: RTFM synths. smile

Groovy and crispy. F*ck reading the manual, you clearly don't need it!

Manual smanual... you don't need it! I really enjoyed the main synth and the layers below it.

packed with some pretty tasty stuff! Agree with Claxon here, shred the manual!

Very nice.

Push the buttons turn the knobs, that’s half the fun with FM, nice one!

I always struggle with getting stuff to sit in the mix with FM but everything is so distinct and meshes well here, nice work!

Alternating between “Dat baseline” and “Dat vibrato.”  tbh I just really dig the jamband-ish sensibility of the whole track

I'm grateful for the kind words and encouragement. I've decided to ditch the manual and double down on this mad scientist jamband-ish approach to FM synth for the coming weeks. smile

The M8 manual is pretty good, though cool

Indeed. smile

Love it!  It's like the Knight Rider theme song, if that song were written by a robot instead of humans.
