Symplesound has launched the FM Collection Vol 1, a collection of three Ableton Live projects, featuring the sounds of the Yamaha DX7 and TX-81Z synthesizers, as well as FM models created with Ableton’s Operator synth.
Yamaha’s legendary DX7 and TX81Z synthesizers dominated the sound of the 80s and 90s. From A-Ha to Michael and Janet Jackson’s biggest hits, FM’s precise-yet-organic character defined the era’s most enduring tracks. More recently, Ableton’s Operator brought the complex sound of FM to modern electronic artists like Daft Punk and Skrillex.
Following up our critically acclaimed Analog Collection and Purple Drums, we present The FM Collection: Three distinct Ableton projects that bring the history of Frequency Modulation synthesis to your Ableton arsenal. With a range that covers everything from vintage retrowave to future-focused dance music, the FM Collection’s flexible approach to FM allows for easy integration into all types of production.
