Ugh, I wish Gforce would start releasing ipad/ios versions too 🙁
the reason people think FM synthesis is complicated is because everyone who explains it prefaces it with being complicated. if you know how to send an envelope to a filter to shape the tone, then you certainly know how to send an enveloped sine to effect the tone of another sine. it’s that simple.
