If you think FM Synthesis is complicated, it’s time to think again! BLEASS Omega brings the sparkle, character and dynamic expressiveness of FM synthesis into an intuitive, hands-on instrument. Its four FM operators are edited simultaneously from a single screen, removing much of the complexity traditionally associated with FM synthesis. Eleven algorithms open up a wide sonic range, from electric pianos, deep basses and crystal-clear pads to sparkling bells and soulful leads. Beyond pure FM tones, an analogue-style waveshaper and multi-mode filter bring additional warmth, distortion, resonant sweeps and harmonic colour. All operator envelopes and controls remain immediately accessible, encouraging experimentation rather than programming by numbers, while MPE support adds another layer of expression for compatible workflows. Four built-in effects, Chorus, Tremolo, Delay and Reverb, add movement, depth and space directly within the synth. More than 200 professionally designed presets showcase Omega’s versatility and provide instant starting points for music production and sound design. BLEASS Omega can be used as a standalone app or AUv3 instrument on iPhone and iPad. It is also available for Windows and macOS.
