User reviews

Free Algorithms

This is one of the rare FM synths that allows us to connect any operator with any other. No limits in feedback loops.

Please, give us an UI for iPads!

Top Notch FM for iOS

This dev makes really nice stuff. Sounds very good. Its a great app to teach yourself FM too.

Almost FM8 (not really)

Seeing the operator table brought me immediately back to Native Instruments iconic FM8 - still, one of the deepest FM software synths despite its vintage. This similar implementation gave me a leg up on the learning curve.
While I’d like to see some modulation possibilities, I’m grateful for the current effort from the creator of Mela Synth (now in its third iteration). Thank you Mr. Meladze!

Fab fm!

This is a great take on complex fm. Seems to make sense.

Good (really good) - but Not Perfect

Nice One, but I Really Miss Sharing My presets and I can‘t find any way, that makes (AU) Parameter Automation work?!
