Contemporary Classic

With the FM8, Native Instruments has made the power of FM synthesis tangible. Its powerful audio engine utilizes all the advantages of digital sound generation and delivers breathtaking, dynamic FM sounds of the highest quality. FM8 is easy to use and brings a high degree of clarity to the complex processes of FM synthesis. This results in sounds with incomparable depth, clarity and expressiveness.

Inspiring right from the start

One of the major advantages of FM8 is its user-friendliness. The “Easy Edit Page” offers a clearly structured interface with uncomplicated controls for managing complex technical processes. This enables an unprecedented “musical” approach to this particularly versatile form of synthesis. At the same time, the other areas of the interface have been optimized to enable even faster and more efficient work.

New modes of expression

The FM8 offers a wealth of innovative functions and top-class effects for a particularly wide sound spectrum. Classic metallic lead sounds, crystal-clear bell sounds, precise basses and pulsating rhythm sounds are by no means everything. The unique arpeggiator, the revolutionary sound morphing function and an immense selection of expressive effects provide endless possibilities for creating new sounds. With its enormous potential, the FM8 leaves the limits of conventional FM synthesis far behind.

Sound Library

The FM8 has over 1,200 ready-to-play preset sounds. From clear, dynamic or rhythmic sounds to pads, lead, brass and piano sounds - the presets illustrate the sonic advantages of the FM8 and FM sound synthesis right from the start. Additionally included multi-effect racks, morphing sounds and arpeggio presets expand the spectrum enormously.
