Back to the future
The FM7 takes the legendary sound of FM synthesis to a new level. Not only does the FM7 read the complete sound library from the classic FM synths, but it goes far beyond emulation. It adds distortion and filter operators, extensive modulation capabilities, a comprehensive effects section, audio input and much more to the traditional FM architecture. The user interface of the FM7 makes it comfortable and easy to explore the fascinating new possibilities of FM — Native style.
Reproducing the FM classics
The lively and punchy FM sounds were a breakthrough in sound synthesis when they were first introduced in the early eighties. Nowadays, their special aesthetics are still highly appreciated by musicians and producers worldwide. FM sounds complement the sounds of analog and virtual analog synthesizers very well. The FM7 can read all programs from the original DX7, DX7-II, DX11, TX81Z, DX21, DX27, DX100, TX802 and reproduce the sounds of these machines exactly.
Extended sound processing and effects
The FM7 is more than an emulation. Enjoy the authenticity of the classic presets, and then transform them into something completely new. For example, each of the operators of the FM7 offers many waveforms besides sine. Additionally, a distortion operator with noise and an analog filter operator complement the waveform operators and increase the sonic range of the FM7, far beyond classic FM synthesis. Unlike the classic, FM routing can be set freely — you are not limited to preset algorithms.
The effect section of the FM7 offers high quality stereo chorus, flanging and delay effects.
Graphical editing
The advanced graphical editors of the FM7 offer intuitive access to FM synthesis. It’s never been that easy to discover the enormous sound potential of frequency modulation.
In Detail...
The FM7 represents a new generation of FM synthesizers and another milestone in instruments for the desktop studio. While retaining compatibility to established DX-Series instruments, it expands the sound repertoire and vastly improves the ease of use.
Just Play
With hardware synthesizers you have to choose between either a keyboard version or a rack mount unit, but with FM7 you get both and also a full graphical editor, all at the press of a button.
Library
A library of 256 top quality presets is included with FM7, putting a wide selection of standard and unique new sounds at your finger-tips. With this library you can get straight to making music without the need to program any sounds.
Easy edit
To make programming easier, FM7 has a page of dedicated analog-style controllers. Here, one knob can change the sound in drastic but intuitive ways, for example by turning up the Brightness, overall Decay Time, or Effect Depth.
