worth a gander (eurorack, though) / it looks quite fun and accessible, knob per function, etc.
I’ve been building FM synths on my old Nord Modular G1 based on this video
Had some pretty pleasing results

Thanks. Not this one. I have to search in my mess…
I found this much deeper pdf :

And the V50 is bitimbral.
Ah yes, that one I have been studying, too! There’s an adaption to Digitone in case you’re interested.

I believe even multi-timbral!
The cheap way would be to get a PSS-480 (or 580/680/780) 4 op fm synth with cheesy 80’s presets but editable sounds ( + an editor on computer) . 12 voice polyphony, polyphonic portamento, 16 part multitimbrality. A lot of character, hiss and noise. I got one for 50 euros recently.

I regret say I’ve also been on a fm psr kick lately. I really don’t need another thing to collect!

Yeah you’re right.
Nobody mentionned the FB 01 ?
Sounds good ! Editable and controllable with SYSEX.
I just ordered one for 90€.
And a PreenFm2 on its way so I think I’ll be ok with FM (+Hydrasynth, Micromonsta 2, Typhon, Syntakt).

I didn’t keep the FB01, PreenFm2 sounding as good or better with a much better UI, filters, fx, random, editing without the need to send SYSEX !
had a DX-11 back in the day and Digitone now, anyone with experience on either know generally what algo/settings he’s using here on the FB-01 to get the classic Nitro/Inner City stab patch?
For 4-op easy editing on hardware look into Yamaha YS100/200, B200, and TQ5.
Definitely overkill for this single feature, but the Jomox Alpha Base includes a 6-voice FM synth with 4 operators.

Didn’t know that, what a crazy thing to add to an analogue drum machine!

I guess with just a few tweakable settings…
This one wouldn’t change my current preference for PreenFm2 as a small standard FM synthesizer.
Opsix seems very good. Been impressed by its sound recently. I’d like a desktop version, because :
Hydrasynth (Explorer) is really capable, very wild FM capacities with several operators, wavemorphing, possibility to combine them in ring mod, pan each osc…
