Good online sites for 4-op FM Programming?


 

Greetings; Since last week I've been the delighted new owner of a
Yammy TX81Z, and I've been spending hours every nite sifting through
the mountains of patch bank material available online, much of it
quite good and some of it excellent.

But I got this module w/ the intent of learning how to become
reasonably competent at FM programming...that's my self-imposed
requirement before buying a synth w/ more serious FM capability (such
as an FS1R).

I've managed to find dribs and drabs on info on the net about FM
Programming, but no mastersource that can leave me w/ a clearer
understanding...can any one point me in the right direction?

Eventually I'll track down what appears to be the DX/TX Bible, the
text by Chowning and Bristol (I think I recall the names correctly,
even if I can't remember the exact title of the book). With the
former author being basically the inventor of FM synthesis, and the
book apparently taking a highly practical approach (as opposed to
just theoretical), it sounds like a must-read for FM
enthusiasts...but I figure the more you know before dipping into it,
the more you'll get out of the text.

Regards
Glenn

You might find the url below of some interest. If nothing else
it might be a good starting point to find other information on fm systhesis.
I once had a TX81Z midied to a DX7. Together, I got some pretty good sounds.
I just recently aquired a DX7II FD and found I had forgotten most of what I
knew about FM. Programed and processed well FM can produce some very
satisfying sounds. "imho", especially for the buck.
If I run across any other info I will let you know. Good luck in your quest
of FM knowledge.

Marc
