You can use FM samples  for example and track whole song withouth any FM vst,synth/keyboard,soundchip in your fav music tracker, sequencer etc etc. Just use FM samples...

None of the 'instrumentation genres' you mentioned require any particular instrument to be that genre. Not every dubstep track has a bass wobble, and much less than 90% use Massive. Putting the rule "There must be at least one instrument (in main ambient melody) using FM synthesis" onto a genre seems very strange to me.

Genres are funny hazy things that materialise when they need to. Manufacturing one just seems crazy.

Its crazy. But why not? There was someone who invented Skweee...
There was someone who invented House...
So it is about pioneers too.
Manufacturing one just seems crazy but it is part of creative process.

And using FM...
Hmm and what about piano music? So can there be piano music withouth piano??? Nooo...

FMYNTH means FM SYNTH. Where is problem?
There are toons of FM VSTis... Even freeware or opensource...
https://www.google.sk/?gws_rd=cr&ei … are+fm+vst
https://www.google.sk/?gws_rd=cr&ei … rce+fm+vst
There are toons of cheap FM Yamaha keyboards for sale on ebay...
There is freeware Deflemask, VGMMM, PowerFM etc etc...

Dubstep withouth wobbles...
Its different style chillstep (DFRNT, Burial for example)...
So not dubstep but chillstep.

Its very easy to use FM. No science. Fruity Loops gots one inside...
Sytrus... For example.

Rock and roll had specific instruments.
Hip hop had specific instruments.
Trap and dubstep is defined by specific instruments...
Why not FMYNTH?

And if you dont like it you dont like it.
Its natural to use specific instruments in some genres...

R4C7
Exactly! Nice demo!!!
- ambient focused liquid-dnb (yep cymbals,lowhats, hihats will be from Liquid DNB)
- breakbeat (Yes can be breakbeat drums there too but this is not strictly rule)
But also we can be inspired by slower drums like was in 90s RNB (Royksopp song) or even highpitched dubstep drums aka IDM drums (Aphex Twin song) (do you remember 2step or UK garage ? so such drums too) or liquid drumandbass (Apollo 440). But keep octave high (like in jungle dnb) and then use smooth bassdrum kick in background...
Simply that 3 songs will be inspiration. And when there will be more types of drums, music will be more colorful (not all hip hop songs have same drums or rock songs). But keep it relaxed, highpitched and fast or slower but more complex...

PROTODOME
"So, by your own definition, FMYNTH music could be created entirely without FM synthesis?"
Nooo! There must be at least one instrument (in main ambient melody) using FM synthesis...
If that instrument will be created by FM VSTi or it will be FM synthesizer or FM keyboard or old game console - computer with FM soundchip or whatever... is up to you. But 1 instrument or channel must be FM! Everything else can be based upon samples, gameboys, NES etc etc...

PUKE FLYTAKER
Yep! Nice demo! Thanks for support!

THETA FROST&MRWIMMER
And why it is so bad idea?  Dubstep gots its wobble bass (90% of songs are using NI Massive), acid house its Roland TB-303. There are toons of examples... So why not FM?

FMYNTH simply will have at least one FM instrument or one FM channel in sequencer.
Everything else can be PSG, samples, VSTis, singing or what ever else...
I think there will be still huge space for creativity. And that FM instrument will brings
its characteristic sound... Something like scratching is in hiphop, rap music...

@ALL
Everyone who will upload His or Her own FMYNTH demo here until 25. december will be
"founding father" or "founding mother" of FMYNTH music style... His or Her name will
be in official Wikipedia etc etc...

Last one is beautiful...

Name of the "new genre" sounds like mints they'd sell at an arcade.

I remember that I had old audio cd with my old mods from 90s and I had such fungus on it. Some tracks was not working some was with high noise... It was one of first CD-R... Probably new are better. (Some manufacturers quaranty up to 50years)

sandneil are you sure?

Benefits>
Normal audio tapes and burned CDs get noise with time... This will be DATA format so you will get file...

Why such format? Why we are still using CDs,Vinyls or cassettes?
Why we are still using 8bits? 16bits?
Such tape loading is simply great...
It belongs to 8bits!

Nice!

It works! So let make data tapes with modules for PCs... Like was on C64...

LiteON Labeltag/Lightscribe combo???
