FM7

With the FM7 Native Instruments makes complete FM-Synthesis available in a software instrument for the first time. The FM7 is a worthy successor to the popular FM synths of yesteryear. It can import and faithfully reproduce any sound program in the standard FM sound formats. But the FM7 goes far beyond emulating the classics. Its extended synthesis architecture includes a filter operator for analog warmth and a distortion operator for adding grit. A high-class effects section, audio input, digital waveforms and powerful modulation capabilities complete the long list of features.

FM7 Features:


Native Instruments FM7 Software Synth (Macintosh and Windows)
The FM7 takes the legendary sound of FM synthesis to a new level. Not only does the FM7 read the complete sound library from the classic FM synths, but it goes far beyond emulation. It adds distortion and filter operators, extensive modulation capabilities, a comprehensive effects section, audio input and much more to the traditional FM architecture. The user interface of the FM7 makes it comfortable and easy to explore the fascinating new possibilities of FM – Native style.

Reproducing the FM classics
The lively and punchy FM sounds were a breakthrough in sound synthesis when they were first introduced in the early eighties. Nowadays, their special aesthetics are still highly appreciated by musicians and producers worldwide. FM sounds complement the sounds of analog and virtual analog synthesizers very well. The FM7 can read all programs from the original DX7, DX7-II, DX11, TX81Z, DX21, DX27, DX100, TX802 and reproduce the sounds of these machines exactly.

Extended sound processing and effects
The FM7 is more than an emulation. Enjoy the authenticity of the classic presets, and then transform them into something completely new. For example, each of the operators of the FM7 offers many waveforms besides sine. Additionally, a distortion operator with noise and an analog filter operator complement the waveform operators and increase the sonic range of the FM7, far beyond classic FM synthesis. Unlike the classic, FM routing can be set freely – you are not limited to preset algorithms.
The effect section of the FM7 offers high quality stereo chorus, flanging and delay effects.

Graphical editing
The advanced graphical editors of the FM7 offer intuitive access to FM synthesis. It’s never been that easy to discover the enormous sound potential of frequency modulation
