A "hardware" vision of FM, designed for playing
The MEGAfm MKII takes the opposite approach of FM synthesizers known for being too clean and too complex: here, priority is given to character and touch. Thanks to its vintage FM chips, it covers both crystalline and percussive timbres (plucked strings, bells, mallets) and aggressive, saturated textures (roaring basses, gritty leads), with an organic sound that fits perfectly with modern productions.
For whom and in which styles?
This synthesizer is aimed at experienced musicians and sound designers who want inspiring FM, but also at producers looking for an efficient machine for live performance: everything is at your fingertips, ready to be modulated and automated. Ideal for techno, electro, EBM, industrial, textured ambient, synthwave, and modern pop, the MEGAfm MKII excels whenever you want sharp attacks, percussive transients, and fast modulation movements.
