- FM SYNTHESIS concept is close to 4OP Yamaha TX-81Z concept but with only sinewave and thus no harmonic variations. There are 4 sinewave operators organized as algorithms, assigned as carrier or modulator linked between them on different pathways interacting on their harmonic contents depending on the variable feedback strength.

• Carrier: defines the amplitude and the spectral frequency
• Modulator: sets the sound timbre and the relative harmonic contents.

The module offers 8 algorithms with frequency ratio or fixed frequency: the output is fed back to its input with 7 different levels feedback, as general rule: high values feedback results in richer harmonic contents.

LFO 2 delayed modulators with variable depth amount and 2 destinations:
• LFO amplitude
• LFO pitch

What sets this synth aside from the more conventional 4OP FM offerings such as the DX9 is that not only does the triple ensemble generator add a whole new dimension to the sound it starts to make you view the FM side as a starting point to the final found rather than the sound itself.

With this way of thinking it is possible to generate everything from remarkably analog sounding Solina style strings to warm complex evolving pads!

THIS ORLA DSE-24 IS FULLY WORKING AND IN VERY GOOD COSMETICAL CONDITIONS FOR ITS AGE. IT WILL BE PACKAGED IN A PROFESSIONAL WAY (PLEASE, READ OUR FEEDBACK), BUT IN ANY CASE IT WILL BE SOLD AT BUYER'S RISK, WITHOUT WARRANTY AGAINST POSSIBLE DEFECTS DUE TO TRANSPORT: WE CAN'T OFFER ANY REFUND OR RETURN!
