Wanted to try some new stuff by mixing Music2000 samples with some of the instruments I mostly use, and FM synth that I'm trying to learn to master. Enjoy.

aw yea embrace the FM engine
if you haven't already, experiment with only 2 operators (e.g. A>B>C>D with A/B volume set to 0). try to fully explore what kinds of sounds you can make with just that. try envelopes/LFOs modulating levels, independently for the two operators. and if you're feeling spicy, modulate pitch/ratio. but it gets out of hand quickly.
also spoiler: the instrument amp/limiter is in effect a _fifth_ operator, set to ratio zero. especially apparent in SIN mode.

Oh, thank you for the advice, it will surely help!
Very cool sounds and a nice thick feeling. The slower pace and low drone give it a weight, and I really like that organ sounding part. The pad at 2:40 is fantastic.
