The modulation matrix is at the heart of Sytrus 's FM capabilities, and allows control of every operator's audio output and the amount of FM applied to each operator. Each voice not only enjoys six operators, but three filters, a chorus unit and three delay lines for effects, flexible multi-stage envelopes and extensive modulation capabilities, before one even gets to modulating any frequencies! There is a très cool assignable X-Y modulation controller, and an at-a-glance frequency/ring modulation matrix. One of their synths for FL Studio was DX10, a simple FM synth, but Sytrus is in a different league altogether. Image Line also make the popular FL Studio host application, formerly known as Fruity Loops, so they aren't some T-shirt operation when it comes to synth development.
FL Studio users will have to wait for FL Studio 6 to get the native version, although they can, of course, use the VST and Direct X versions now. Version 2 has just been released, adding new filters, arpeggiating envelopes and more presets to an already fulsome collection. Bridging the gap between the expensive and the feature-limited is Image Line's Sytrus, a six-operator frequency and ring-modulation instrument in FL Studio native, VST and Direct X formats. Native Instruments' FM7 is a virtual update of the DX7, and there are numerous freeware and shareware FM soft synths out there. With bang for buck in the voices department and an all-new 'digital' sound, frequency modulation synthesis dominated the field for the rest of that decade and like many other '80s fads, FM has made a bit of a comeback lately. Yamaha's DX7 put to pasture the analogue synthesizer of the mid-'80s. There is also a scribble scrip to put in information about your patch.Ĭombining frequency and ring modulation with analogue-style resonant filtering, Image Line's Sytrus takes FM synthesis in new directions. The modulation matrix at the right of the Sytrus window is set and forget, while the modulation X-Y pad at the left is where the real-time action takes place.
