MOTM

You can make FM sounds with MOTM modules, you 
just can't get the precision that you get with a 
digital synth (like DX7) in terms of keeping the 
modulator to carrier ratios precise all the time. 
You can create gongs sounds quite easily, but if 
you manage to tweak the controls to make a good 
FM piano sound at one frequency, it will not 
sound so good with other notes for very long; the 
slightest drift in oscillator frequency (or 
phase) will make it sound like hell. This is 
normal for analogue synths and it wasn't until 
the DX series that useable FM became a reality, 
and for that they had to go digital.

>I´m still a bit new to MOTM and dont have any MOTM VCO´s yet. (using
