"FM-X is the FM synthesis engine found in the Yamaha MODX and Montage Series. With 8 operators per voice and 128 voice polyphony, this is a very capable sound generator. In this video, I create a "Piano with pads and sparkles" sound, explaining which options do what in the process.

In abundance! This "Touch Bassline" is the Roland AIRA version of the legendary TB-303 Bassline! And you use it with your fingers!
