FM Synthesis in Eurorack | From DX7 to Modern Modules

FM synthesis is one of the most powerful but complex synthesis methods, made famous by the Yamaha DX7. In this video, I explore how FM synthesis works and how it translates into modern Eurorack modular systems. I start with a quick look at the Yamaha DX7 and how FM synthesis became a defining sound of the 80s, then break down what FM synthesis actually is with a quick practical demo, before diving into four Eurorack modules that approach FM in very different ways. Modules featured in this video: RYK Algo Mutable Instruments Plaits Mutable Instruments Rings Blaknblu Oscar DSF Each module is showcased in a dedicated synth jam, covering everything from melodic FM tones to more complex and experimental textures. This video is for anyone interested in FM synthesis, modular synthesis, Eurorack systems, or learning how modules like Plaits and Rings handle FM in a musical context.
