Halogen FM

The Joy of FM, Without the Headaches

Halogen FM makes FM synthesis accessible and fun by removing complexity and technical barriers. Instead of dealing with confusing parameters, it encourages sound exploration through play, offering evolving, organic tones without needing deep synth knowledge. Its core engine, the Halogen Spark, instantly generates unique patches you can easily tweak with intuitive controls. For those who want more detail, full operator parameters are available but never intrusive. Halogen FM combines instant inspiration with deep sound-shaping, letting anyone create rich, expressive FM sounds quickly and creatively.
