FM Ratios are not so hard

FM Synthesis is everywhere, but if were to get into designing sounds with it, you might be met with a confusing way of making sounds. Often misunderstood as an unpredictable, untamable beast of synthesis, FM is quite capable of a wide range of sounds that can be used in a variety of genres and styles of music. Sometimes FM synths ship with factory presets that don’t seem very useful or practical, but it’s not fair to judge all of FM synthesis on some lackluster presets. Though there’s a lot to FM synthesis, this video will focus on FM ratios - the tuning backbone of FM synths, what they are, how they work, and what some common FM ratios are (breakdown below). [1:1] - Basic sounds, good for bass, brass, keys, leads, bells, pads - can be mellow or bright [2:1] - FM equivalent of a square wave [3:1] - Hollow sound, kind of similar to a PWM sound but not, good for mellow guitar-like sounds, harps, other plucked sounds [3.5:1] - Taco Bell, need I say more? [4:1] - same as [2:1] but brighter [5:1, 6:1, 7:1] - metallic, good for bell-like or melodic percussion sounds [8:1 and up] - much brighter, pretty much bells or harsh leads if using anything but a sine wave [1:2, 1:3, 1:4…] - very bright nasal sounds, close to a high-pass filtered saw where the higher the tuning, the more filtered the sound is and the higher harmonics ring through [9:1:1] - depending on what’s being modulated, could be a good keys sound, bass sound, lead, or FM tines. Rules of thumbs - higher the modulator pitch in relation to carrier: more metallic Rules of thumbs - higher the carrier pitch in relation to modulator: more nasally Quick concept not covered in video (my bad): with decimal ratios, the sound will be very ring-modulator-y. But what’s interesting is if you have higher ratios of [4:5] for instance, reduce the 4 to 1, the 5 will be 1.25 [5:4] = [1.25:1] [9:8] = [1.125:1] [13:7] = [1.857:1] [12:10] = [1.2:1] [6:11] = [0.54:1] As examples So much more to FM, don’t be afraid, just DO IT! #fmsynthesis #synthesis #sounddesign #music #phaseplant #fm For presets for music production, give my Gumroad a look Gumroad: https://stewsounds.gumroad.com/ For demos of sound-stuff I do, give my Soundcloud a listen Soundcloud:   / scotricc   I also stream on Twitch every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday playing games (if you want to check me out here) Twitch:   / scotricc   If you liked this video, drop a like, and let me know if you want to see more like it!
