AWESOME had a super quick play with this now im off to work. Looks like the FM section is all once bit modulator with the existing waves combined as the carrier? Mod, seems to be the modulator volume and harmonics is the multiplier?

This looks really really interesting.

EGR - a quick edit linking to the software and the nightlies and maybe n00bstars turtorials and a tune or two might be nice? great idea!

The second one you started which got locked by mods?

But why would you not just use one long sample?

I must admit, I didn't really "get" the instrument phrases thing. Is it just a complex arpeggiator or am I missing something?

Can't wait to see the nightly.

I think the osx build is pretty far out of date. Windows nightlies are where it's at. Parallels maybe?

Didn't admin tracker 2 get open sourced and ported to SDL?

FM synthesis sounding too good is an interesting problem to have!

Nice, this all sounds exciting!

Quick idea. This might make it easier to fit in. Seeing as you can have a large number of wave tables, why not add a few more shapes to the wave table generator then ONLY use wave tables for FM. Then you could set up the editors something like.

Carrier wt - 1 / modulator Wt - 2 / fb - 7

Carrier vol / mult / Adsr
Modulator vol / mult / Adsr

Might work?

Awesome news! Can't wait to see how this works.

Small but kind of annoying bug. The Awesome F1 help screen will loop the current step if you press F1 while playing a song or the current step of the program table while playing an instrument....

Yah, I have quite a few friends out here who are really REALLY into FM. They have made some pretty incredible hardware but the software side is all MML which is a bit to hardcore for me. Look forward to seeing what you come upwith....

I must admit, I don't really understand the families that well. There are LOADS of Yamaha chips which never made it to the West. My friend made this table which is probably the most complete resource I have found :

The differences in the actual FM synthesis happening seems pretty small. Almost all the 2 op and 4op chips are sine wave (or sine wave based waves like opl2) only with more or less the same algorithms. The only really unique ones I know of are the opl3 and which has 8 waveforms and the YM2414 which has 8 waveforms plus a pitch envelope.

Yay for FM, there are some kind of fun quirky chips out there for sure. Also seems like a lot of chips are very very similar.
