Fm8 factory presets software#
And of course, the developer offers their hard work for free: with a modern GUI this could easily be sold at the ongoing vintage synth software emulation price range, so all kudos to Herrmann Seib. I give this 5 stars for same reason as Sonic Charge Cyclone: though it has an unintuitive and dated GUI, the basic functions can be located, it tested stable and reliable (Reaper) and light on CPU and as an emulation it seems like a faithful and uncompromising (in good and bad) effort from a skilled developer whose love and knowledge of the synth is obvious.
There is a distinctive character to the sound and sonic variety in the 99 factory presets if you can't program your own. Now, for the positive: this is a fairly accurate emulation of the Wave as you can tell by simply dialing up famous sounds - for fans of Tangerine Dream's Exit, preset 8 (Program 8 in the LCD Screen) is immediately recognisable as the distinctive pitch bent horn sound of the title track. It is possible to dim the LCD screen which might be first in a software synth. To avoid the sigsag panning of left-right you need to turn the mono-stereo knob to mono (it's one the left in the GUI). If you've imported hardware Sysex patches from DX7 to FM8 and then had to adjust the ADSR from the Master page in that synth, that's how this works.
ADSR envelopes are inverted with ADSR1 for Filter, ADSR2 for AMP -Envelopes don't respond to program changes, they only activate by use. To mention some of the most notable oddities: -You have to use the keypad for basic functions like preset switching. Negative first: GUI-wise it's so accurate it'll be hard to grasp for modern user.
