Metaconformer is SimpleXFM now, a surprisingly deep FM synthesizer

video upload by Floyd Steinberg

"SOMA Labs released a firmware that turns their #Metaconformer #midi processor/router/splitter/merger into a 4 voice, 4 part multitimbral #fmsynth with comb filters and multiple modulation destinations, which can lead to some pretty expressive and/or noisy sounds."
