4op-FM
Apr 10 2008 | 10:39 am
Hey yall it's me again.
I have been working a lot with the 4opFM from Pluggo. I have been having bad
luck trying to get a good bass out of it. I get a lot of patches that seem
like they should sound nice when they are low, but the response isn't that
good on the low end. And for the life of me i can't get any of those patches
to not have snaps and pops. My question is if there is a definitive guide to
programing with a 4 op. I know the DX7 was great at those nice bass sounds.
But it was 6 op right? Are 4 ops just not up to the task?

It's fun and versatile.The book linked below was written with the DX7 in mind - so a lot of the examples default to 6op instructions - but they offer conversion tables for readers using 4op synths. No matter what, it's really helpful in terms of getting a mental hold on FM synthesis concepts. :)
