Music producers know all about oscillators, LFOs, and envelopes. After all, these sound design tools are ingrained in the routine of music makers. While these synth components are found in the vast majority of synthesizers, there is one type of synthesis that works a little differently. I am, of course, talking about FM synthesis. So let&#8217;s begin this guide to frequency modulation and why it&#8217;s different from the likes of additive and subtractive synthesis. What is FM synthesis? What sounds is FM..."}
