Huh?!
From the Absynth page: "ABSYNTH´s flexible patching scheme makes it
easy to combine subtractive, FM, AM, ring modulation, and
waveshaping."
and "ABSYNTH´s waveform editor allows you to freely model your own
waveforms which can be used by oscillators, LFO´s and as waveshaping
distortion functions."
I think it's more than an FM synth, more than a virtual analog.
Yoonchi.
