Fluctus is an ultra simple 3-operator FM synthesizer.
Key Features
Completely free. No copy protection, DRM or mailing list signups.
3 operators each with variable brightness control, arranged in a loop: Op 3 modulates Op 2, Op 2 modulates Op 1, and Op 1 modulates Op 3. There’s some really interesting sounds you can create with feedback. Op 3 can also modulate Op 1.
Various effects: soft and hard saturators, multi-mode filter (lowpass and highpass), ping-pong delay and phaser.
Streamlined single page user interface with scaling ranging from 100% to 200%.
Very simple design, perfect for those new to FM synthesis.
