You can choose from multiple FM algorithms with specially selected parameters. The sound design capabilities are endless, incorporating powerful filters and effects for shaping your tone. It opens up a whole new world of sounds and timbres, ranging from metallic-style percussive sounds, to soft pads and everything in between.
