Dream Phase Machine
4OP FM synth with matrix and 4 env per OP for FM control.
DESCRIPTION
This is a DX style (phase, not frequency) FM synth with only 4 OP but a matrix and 4 envelopes per OP to control FM amounts (accessible via stacked macros).
To take advantage of the different timing in spectral evolution that all those different envelopes allow I made the times longer in each step of the envelope (about 30s), and made their amplitude scalable via velocity and their times via key, to add movement and change.
It also has modulable delays with feedback on the modulator out path of each OP, so you don't hear the delay directly, only the effect it has on the carrier it modulates, it creates a weird sense of space, and when you modulate the time you hear the comb filtering effect moving.
There also is a simple low pass filter, and some modulation in the B panel (envelopes and LFOs for pitch and frequency of the filter).
All envelopes, modulations and FM amounts are scalable via modulation wheel to add live control.
At the time you'll only find 20 snapshots (plus the useful INIT !) I intended to do more but lack time and wanted to share it as is.
