Description
F.’em from Tracktion is one of the most powerful FM synthesizers ever made, taking advantage of modern CPU resources to process its freely configurable 11-operator matrix. It’s a hybrid quad-timbral synthesizer that can function as an FM, VA and sample-based instrument, with the added bonus of a dual multimode filter, a complex effect section and an incredibly flexible modulation matrix. F.’em is not just one of the most powerful FM synths ever made, it’s also one of the most versatile. Packing in eight synchronizable waves, two samples and a noise operator, this plug-in delivers the most savage bass and ripping lead sounds associated with synths, like the mighty Access Virus. Thanks to a freely-configurable oscillator matrix, F.’em can produce FM sounds virtually indistinguishable from legendary instruments like the Yamaha TX81Z, the Yamaha DX7 or the lavish 8-operator Yamaha GS1: a 200 lb. synth so luxurious that only 16 units were sold. Not interested in diving into the multitude of available parameters? Don’t worry. F.’em is immediately enjoyable and easy to use. The macros let you control all fundamental parameters, while the rich multi-effect section is easily accessible and tweakable. All layers can be activated and deactivated in a snap and the arpeggiator is an endless-joy-giver.
