There's nothing lame about pure FM is great if you know how to use it. Most people just don't understand the concept, which requires a bit more time to master than analogue synthesis (and I've heard PLENTY of cheesy analogue sounds). The problem w/ most FM sounds is that they're trying to sound like something else - Rhodes, organ, analogue, brass (uggh!).

99% of FM sounds are shit because very few people know how to use it. mu-ziq DEFINITELY know how to program FM, as do I.

The DXs have no filters, which is why I'm selling my MIDI'd Prophet 5 for $850 and my Prophet 600 (also MIDI) for $350. Email me for info.

Maybe a K2K owner will clarify that the signal processing routines are INDEED synthesis PEACEOUT MR-808 Now on Sony: Are we here? remixes - Orbital
