this is a 4-operator FM synthesizer that i made for college. it's made entirely in JavaScript, isn't very pretty, doesn't have a patch editor yet, and is missing so many features that i just didn't have time to implement, but it's definitely Minimum Viable Product worthy. there are 5 factory patches to mess with (kudos to my girlfriend and another friend of mine for contributing 2 of them), for now. i need to rewrite the whole thing to make the life of a patch designer easier. in fact i need to rewrite the whole thing to not be in JavaScript because that makes it run like ass

... so go on, have some fun. controls are simple: the colorful blocks are the keys, hold down with the mouse or your finger (should your screen be of the touch variety) to play notes. or use the keyboard (the typing one, there's no MIDI support yet). try messing around with the knobs!

wowza!

Pretty cool. I like how expressive the Chaos preset is.

Also, clicking on the link redirects back to this thread. Copy/pasting it on the browser works, though.

thanks for catching that, Tex. firki blast

wowza x2

super cool, but knobs as a UI element are always whacky to use with a mouse, they work best as physical knobs imo. slider would have been better.

kleeder: that's true, the only reason i went for knobs was space efficiency. the assignment required me to make a mobile app, so i prioritized the mobile experience at first. in the end the UI sucks both on mobile and on desktop, but i'll put more effort into the interface in my next project for sure
