fmQT

What it does

A monophonic FM synth with an oscillator, an FM oscillator carrying ratio and depth for carrier and modulator, filters, envelope, a noise source, bit crusher, compressor, pan, gain, reverb, delay and an EQ. Its sequencer records knob movements as well as notes, so a patch keeps changing shape while the pattern runs, and sequences run 16, 32 or 64 across four pages.

In the demo

Jade runs it in AUM, first with recording off so the keyboard plays clean, then switches record all on and flicks the waveform, panning and effects while the sequence rolls so those moves are captured. She compares the record keys and record knob modes, drives it from Zoa and Cascade, sends it through Rings, and stacks three instances into one texture.

Worth knowing

It ships with no presets, so every sound starts from the reset patch, and being monophonic it rules out chords. Jade also shows the AUv3 window clipping part of the interface in AUM at the time of the demo.
