Also, getting the 12bit hardware FM 4op TX81Z by Yamaha seems like a tempting idea. Then Blamsoft's Zero and maybe PX7 to keep it in the Reason family. Then I'll move into seeing why I can't get Zebra2 to FM better. In the end, I really think that the 4op one Reason Rack Extension and Dexed will get me started. But, it just seemed to be limited in the FM stuff it could do and I just likened it to Audio rate modulation much like I do with my hardware. I'm sure it's just me as I'm trying to just get a handle on it. Not sure I dig it that much for FM synthesis. I'm sure it was me and not you as I know you have many, many satisfied users. I know that's harsh, and I don't mean to hurt your feelings, but we just didn't work. Stacking OSC on top of each other didn't really seem to work that well.īazille, yeah, my know that you're an amazing synth with amazing possibilities but sadly after demoing you for nearly 4 weeks when you were in Beta I hated you. I'll have to take another look at it as so far all I can really do is get the FM to self oscillate. I didn't really fully think that UHE Zebra2 did FM all that well. I'm leaning heavily on Reason synths these days, but I still use and have all my VST synths as well.
Also, Reason as PX7 but it doesn't seem any different than Dexed which is free. Also, there's Zero Hybrid Synth which combines FM and Additive synthesis. Reason has a 4op FM synth that I'm looking into as a way to get a hang of FM.
And, now that Reason is a plugin I may get into rewire Live in the coming year after my sample purchases which would open me up to it's FM synth. I'd rather just stick to Reason as my other main DAW. I actually like the whole Traktion system but Cubase is my main DAW and Reason my other main DAW and getting into yet another DAW world is too daunting for me. That was what I was hoping for when I bought FM8 back in 2008 or something but sadly after some initial enthusiasm it has remained dormant for years until yesterday when I gave it one more shot and lo and behold, I still didn't get on with it in spite of advancing a lot in my ability to program synths. I never owned a DX7 or any hardware FM as when I started in the 90's rompler was the game, so Dexed seems like a good way to get into classic FM synthesis. I too do hear it as a bit gimmicky, but hey, I a compose for film and TV. Yeah, Dexed, the price is right on that and it will give me an opportunity to explore FM synthesis and it seems way more intuitive than FM8.
