FM Synthesis Tool
Learn FM Synthesis by visualizing and hearing the results in real-time.
FM Synthesis Explanation
FM synthesis works by using one or more oscillators (modulators) to modulate the frequency of other oscillators (carriers). The modulation index controls the amount of modulation, affecting the richness of the sound.
Key parameters:
- Carrier Frequency: The base frequency of the sound
- Modulator Frequency: Affects the harmonic content
- Modulation Index: Controls the intensity of modulation
- Algorithm: Determines how operators connect to each other
- Waveform Type: Different waveforms create different timbres
