i'd love to see ways to make sounds that don't sound "fm", if that makes sense.

this isn't likely with typical fm (or phase modulation) synthesis. the way the sideband amplitudes spread out with respect to the modulation index (bessel functions) doesn't lend itself to anything other than those archetypal fm textures.

one approach is to use modfm to produce bandlimited waveforms ie. square, saw, triangle etc. i've implemented this in supercollider and can send anyone if they should be interested. it's pretty simple but kind of fun. additionally, there are implementations out there in csound by the guy who created it.

i'm sure there're are probably other variants on distortion synthesis using fm to make bandlimited waveforms out there too.

lowgain is going to be so pissed.

the second track is really nice.

Although, like godinpants, I'm tempted by Max6.

PD, all the way.

Cool price, bro.

I use Ubuntu which is fine with a little tweaking. The only issue I've had, and it's a major one, is that I couldn't get my firewire audio interface to work under Linux.

Word, I figured as much. I suppose it was more along the lines of the feelings you have towards the doctor when he cuts off your morphine.

Edit: Everyone posting in this thread should check out his other band, Pains of Being Pure At Heart, if for some reason they haven't already: http://www.myspace.com/thepainsofbeingpureatheart

Word and supplying us with The Pains of Being Pure At Heart in this thread is like transitioning to methadone.
