The dignified way to describe the problem at hand is alluding to Brouwer's fixed-point theorem[1], with white noise as the fixed point. The more practical way is alluding to The Human Centipede[2]. Either way, the feed-back loop doesn&

Thanks, I didn't know about it - and it seems like an awesome addition to the machine!

>Who plays an FM synth on a campfire? Reface DX owners, mostly, because that's the only modern FM synth with speakers. I usually use the ePiano patch, which I modify to sound louder; it blends perfectly with the guitar. >And

And now it's \Users, presumably because after 20 years, Microsoft gave up? Only if you assume that people rarely have spaces in their Windows login names (e.g. "Joe Smith"). Either that, or Windows users have learned to no

> (so trivial to replicate one to one) Good luck finding a 60-key MIDI controller with velocity-sensitivity and aftertouch for less than $200, and it's without getting into replication (of either the controller or the synth).

Oh, and apparently there's a new hardware desktop Synclavier! Synclavier Regen weighs in at $2.5K, but then again, it was never a budget brand in the first place: https://www.synclavier.com/synclavier-regen/

Just to add: harmonics are sine waves, in essence. A pure sine wave has only one harmonic. You need to add up a bunch of sine waves of different frequencies (multiples of the fundamental) to get something as, in a way, unnatural as a squa

Seconding the Reface DX recommendation. It makes FM programming enjoyable . I never figured Dexed or FM-7 out, even though the soft synths and the screen real estate would seem like an ideal match for FM synthesis. But no, I feel like I on

Thanks so much! I'm in love with my Reface DX, and have a soft spot for all FM synth. I'm glad it came through!

Sure, but they could get away with this cost cutting, because the synth had enough to offer without them. A classic analog synth wouldn't sell with such controls.

They also didn't get why FM synthesis was so appealing, in spite of being difficult to understand for the common musician. It's in the tone . Acoustic instruments respond in a complex way to the variation in strength of input:
