The FS1R mailing List at Teklab had a lot of discussions and ideas about
converting 4OP FM patches to the FS1R, thats why Atom included that into his
page.
I get no response when I send email to: fss-list-unsubscribe@...
Maybe i should try sending Atom email.
A carrier is/are the operator(s) of an algorithm you can hear, all the other
operators are modulators that you can't hear directly, you only hear the
modulators inlfuence on the carrier ...
So if you look at algorithm # 1 of the FS1R you have only carriers, take
algorithm #66 the operator 8 is the carrier, the rest are modulators.
Another example is algorithm # 72 where operator 8 and 4 are carriers and as
always the rest are modulators...
So to recreate a 4OP DX100 patch I would only use 4 OP's with three in Key
Sync, set on Sine, OP level at 99, and the fourth OP would be used as the
carrier?
How do you set the fourth OP to be the carrier?
By chosing the right algorithm like #77 that should be comparable with #5 of
a 4 Op FM synth... anyway, if the maximum volume of the 4OP modulator you
emulate isn't too high, you sometimes only need 2 or even one modulator
instead of all three. It depends on the sound you want to convert...
If you need more informations you'd better join the FS1R mailing list, since
I'm not a specialist in converting 4Op -> 8Op. I'm using my TX81z when I
want to use my 4Op sounds, use the FS1R for my new ones.
I hope that helps a bit!
hmmm... I'm still a bit confused but I'll try looking over the various algorithms,
#77 sounds like a good place to start.
I was kinda hoping someone familiar with the FS1R editor knew of an easy way to set
up DX100 patches but I guess this is a little more complicated then I thought.
thanks,
Stephen.
