Now that you have some historical background on the original hardware synthesizer, I will move on to Native Instruments’ software synthesizer called FM8. The 32 algorithms for the operators gave it a wide range of audio possibilities, along with a velocity-sensitive keyboard that also included aftertouch.
The operators can be either a modulator or a carrier, and they are aligned in various configurations that form the basis for the sound that is created. Its FM is a system of sine wave “operators” that can generate new sounds by interacting with each other. It used FM (frequency modulation) synthesis to create its sounds.
It might not have been the easiest to program, but the sounds it made were unlike many others at that time. The DX7 by Yamaha was a very popular 16-voice digital synthesizer that was originally released back in 1983. Does Native Instruments’ powerful FM8 stand the test of time? We take a look at a classic emulation of a very popular synthesizer from the early 1980s.
