I’ve look at it multiple times, but not really a builder.

This one is pretty cool too http://busycircuits.com/alm011/

It’s been so long since I’ve had a Sine wave only FM synth, I don’t even know how big a deal it is.  Is it a limitation or do alternative operator wave forms make little difference in FM??


I don’t know actually with the Volca (I’m happy with this just being a DX7 clone,) but multiple waveforms make a big difference. In the Reface DX because they are easily variable, gives it a filter like quality. Also in FM8 they are a huge deal if you are making aggressive modern sounds.
