Hi:

What is the difference between AFM [Advanced Frequency Modulation] synthesis and FM [Frequency Modulation] synthesis?

The former is used by synths like SY99, SY77 and TG77. The latter is used by synths like OPL3.

Thanks,

Green

I think the best answer is to use your ears, and judge for yourself, what a sound engine is capable of. This can be tricky without owning the synth, but usually there will be enough sample material online to get a reasonable sense of a synth.

You may also like to try Vintage Synth or Gear Slutz, which are more general synth fora.

Cheers,
