FM synth?

Hi..I’m interested in sound designing using max/msp. Just wonder if u have any recommendation where to start if I want to create sound similar to below link? can those clicks, bleeps, and sound texture be created by FM synthesis? or there’s other place I should start with? Thank you

You might wish to take a serious look at the FM synth in MSP tutorial 11. Some fanboy MSP learners are skeptical when I tell them that some number of patches that are claimed to be Autechre work have that SimpleFM~ patch at their center, and I’m always amused later on when they discover that some of the genuine ones actually *do.* :-)

X.FM~ synth in Extras menu > Examples is good.

The sounds in the video are recorded, not synthesized though.
Have a look at the book “Designing Sound” from Andy Farnell. Lots of examples in Pd which are easy to do in Max as well…

FM isn’t the easiest model for creating arbitrary sounds, though my DX 7 days had a pretty high output…
