Oh I agree it has niche appeal.

Not entirely ;) as I did also suggested 4 operators instead of 3 for D3 even before it was released.

Anyway, still the possibilities are great with just 3 operators with the help of the modulation matrix as mentioned before :)
We thought about 4 operators, the main issue is UI space, increased sound design complexity and the CPU usage when using all 32 oscillators per block (which would amount to 128 operators that must be rendered for 4-op-FM just for a single voice, not yet factoring in multiple layers or using both oscillator blocks).

You can do 4-op FM synthesis by doing the following:

Make a wavetable in osc1 using the formula: -sin(2*x*pi+2*y*pi)
Add Const +50 Osc 1 WT Position in the mod matrix
Set osc2 to FM
Set osc3 to sine
Add Osc3 0 Osc1 WT Position in the mod matrix
Add Osc2 0 Osc1 WT Position in the mod matrix
Change the values of the last two mod matrix entries to taste for a static sound.
Even better is to set up chained mod matrix entries where envelopes and/or LFOs are used to control the MM amounts for those particular entries. Leave the envelope/LFO entries with AMT=0 and use Velocity to modulate those.

All 8 4op algorithms can be done this way, albeit with some compromise on algo3.

Set modulation rate to anything other than normal for a cleaner sound.

What would be nice is to have inputs from outside of the FM module to modulate the phases of A, B, and or C in one oscillator by the output of the other oscillators.

Ok thanks :tu: I'll try that.

Bought the upgrade yesterday.

Everything I said earlier/last year still stands, but I generally like the synth and have a use for it.

I own D2 and found a bug that crash NI maschine. It happen when i route 3 MSEG to 3 OSC and the 4th MSEG to the filter and play arround with the parametres.
Was D2 so buggy? Can someone try the same on D3.

no, that's one possible bug

to what in the OSC? semi, fine etc?

Mattvk19 wrote: Mon Sep 30, 2019 4:22 pm the 4th MSEG to the filter
cut off, reso, keytrack etc?

which parameters?

the whole thing is a bit vague. Can you upload a patch to get a better look?

other info will help, plugin version, host version, OS etc

Post

I try again and it could be that this happen when i change the polyphony. Maybe there is a moment of peak in cpu and this is the reason.
I create it again and have no problems until now.

I dont have machine, andcouldn't reproduce here

tried all the usual tricks, but was fine, no crashes

cpu is a bit high on chords, but no other probs

Thanks for the link. I could not find it in the Synapse support area (downloads) for some reason.
