First, FM is not this hard to understand.

Your approach to FM synthesis?

Hey, @glooms, exploring blindly can be fun too ^^ This said, FM synthesis is not that hard, despite being very deep. Reading the “Tao of FM synthesis” is fun and gave me some basis to retain some knowledge and know more and more / learn from what I was doing. FM vocabulary is often improper, as if someone had tried to obfuscate the knowledge. Just get the vocabulary right and you start understanding. A few tricks: FM is a composition of “operators”. Simplest is two, start from here and e…

Secondly, DN is making it relatively easy.
