Contemporary Classic
FM
synthesis has played a huge role in music culture over the last few
decades. The FM8 picks up where its award-winning predecessor, the FM7,
left off taking FM synthesis even further. FM8's emphasis on
ease-of-use brings a high degree of simplicity to the otherwise
intricate process of FM synthesis. The powerful new audio engine
delivers unsurpassed quality, generating a livelier, more energetic
sound than ever before.
Synthesis From The Start
A
central aspect of FM8 is usability. The "Easy Edit Page" offers a
clearly designed interface with simple controls that adjust more
complex parameters automatically, allowing you to take a far more
musical approach to FM synthesis. The more detailed editing pages have
been improved for easier handling and are all accessible with just one
click. FM8 lets you play straight away!
Beyond Frequency Modulation
The
FM8 offers an unprecedented range of features and effects. The classic
metallic leads, crystalline chimes, tight basses and enchanting
rhythmic sounds are just the beginning. A unique arpeggiator, a
revolutionary sound morphing feature and a large selection of new,
charismatic effects add countless sound-shaping possibilities. The
sonic potential of FM8 goes well beyond the confines of conventional FM
synthesis.
Instilled With Inspiration
Included
with FM8 are over 960 ready-to-play factory presets. From clean,
dynamic, percussive sounds to pads, leads, brass and piano sounds, the
presets exemplify the strengths of FM synthesis. Also included are a
number of effect rack, sound morphing and arpeggio presets. The
integrated KoreSound® Browser makes managing the KORE-configured
presets fast and easy. Simply search and you will find - instantly.
