Oh for sure. An additional advantage of the modular approach is: if you don’t like the raw FM tone, you can try running it through an MS-20 filter, or a Moog filter, or a wavefolder, or a ring modulator, or… One of my favorite custom SuperCollider synths that I wrote was a simple 2-op phase modulation generator run through a wavefolder and filter. I probably could have arrived at a similar sound with more operators, but it wouldn’t have felt as intuitive to write! Edit: these darn mobile keyboards

When Garageband got some FM synths, I was pleasantly surprised by them ... the first FM that didn't immediately need an EQ. (Talented staff then.) I started reading the article without noting the author's name. When I got through 2/3 of it, the thought was who the hell is this?. After seeing the name, it was of course, who else?!
