Hi. You can do 2 or way more FM modules with each 8 Operators max and than merge them with FM-ing them together with the Merge-module ...Totally crazy amount of experimentation madness here. I recoment pulling the volumes for the OPs down to avoid the relatively early occuring noise when driving up the FM or Feedback amount. FM is super level-dependent and the volume needs (classically) to be controlled by envelopes. But I enjoy it so much that MSoundfactory gives you a endless playground where you can abuse all classical methods to the max and break every rule. Have Joy :)
So can you do freely assignable FM or the traditional Yamaha configurations on samples? I didn't see sample as an option in the drop down menu of the FM module. And if you use the second method, and place a sampler at the top of each of the 6 generator lanes, how will you do feedback routing? The merger tool appears to only allow setting inputs not output destinations. Or can you place another sampler lower down the y axis in a cell below a merger module in that same vertical lane? I re-posted this here cause I know ur a tracktion guy as well. I have the same question for F'em. Is it coincidental that the operator types add up to the same amount as the number of operators, or are you limited to only two sample operators in a configuration? That would necessarily limit the sample manglers and be useless to me, as you can already do 4 sample operator FM in biotek now. Its just not freely assignable and limited to 10 Yamaha configurations. I cant tell from the NAMM screenshots. I don't know why you wouldn't allow any of the 11 operators to be any of the 11 operator types.

There is no sampler in the FM module, but you can add another sampler anywhere you want. You could FM a sample with merger and then FM that output with another sampler using merger. There are also modules that let you expand the matrix if you need more lanes. I hope that helps.
There are out there library's of over 25,000 free FM sounds which are excellent. (OK,maybe 7500 are excellent but hear me out.) Why are we putzing trying to learn a very difficult process when all the work is out there done already? We need a preset loader matching your unit to old FM presets. FM had one major detractor which was a very thin sound. You have (i think) the ultimate solution in being able to modify and revive this dead art into a colossal sales tool. Imagine 7500 presets out of the box and all this out of your pristine oscillators and fantastic FX. They (we) used this thing for EVERYTHING. really don't get it. This would be the last FM synth that anyone could imagine wanting. Like Modobass. A complete game changer for the FM synthesis fans.
Its a completely new plugin. It hasn't been released yet though. Although the FX section is basically the same as MXXX, the synthesis can do more than what is possible with MPS. Its also fully modular, so you can add as many oscillators, filters, etc as you want.

I noticed also, the most incredible is the modular capabilties, FM anything you want....
That’s true. There is so much you can do with this. Combining the different types of synthesis is easy and fun.

This thing is unbelievable. Nothing compares to it. Chandler, you did a great job explaining this.
Thanks. The FM is really powerful, especially when combined with the other modules.
Its becoming more interesting every vid you make... very cool
Thanks. I’ll be showing more interesting things i can do in the future.
Helped a lot, thank you!
Glad to hear it.

Why do we draw if there is a camera
so this is basically melda mxxx combined with mellda powersytnh , or not .
Or is it a new plugin ?

As an FM synth it is weak attempt. Other modules are good, this one is subpar.
