fm vco

[mono-poly]

Hi

Has anyone tought about making an opl-3 voice for a modular?

Would be coul to have a stripped down version of the midibox fm synth.

To use as a modular voice/vco with some cv options for pitch etc.

But maybe i just talk and this isn't possible at all.

Just a humble opinion, but isn't the FM already pretty simplified.

All of the sound is generated on chip, and it seems that as is would be a great audio source for a modular. I guess the complicated bit is the controls you use.

If you want to control pitch etc. I believe it would be a case of requiring an AIN module that you could assign to certain parameters in the FM program.

I haven't built one.. so I don't really know..

Yeah that sounds fun.

But it;s not clear to me lol.

It would be cool to have some cv inputs for some parameters.

And perhaps a switch to select how the operators are configured.

But maybe that's not possible at all.

It would definitely be possible. All it really requires is a little customisation of the firmware, and a number of DIN and AIN boards, (maybe some DOUT's too). I can't help you do it, but do a search and you'll find all the info needed.
