Overview

Instruments

Each of the 5 instruments in FM Suite provides a detailed sound design exposé of an individual or group of vintage FM synthesizers, including a full complement of custom designed patches from iconic bass, brass, electric pianos, pads, plucks, bells and keys to experimental ambiences, fx and more.

The Ultimate DX1 Experience

Based on the legendary DX1 (1983), the top-of-the-line sibling to the DX7, FMX-1 XL delivers a refined and expanded take on FMX-1. Featuring new sampled content, an extended preset library, and deep multi-velocity sampling, it captures the power and character of one of the rarest FM synthesizers ever built — with up to 10 velocity layers per patch for unmatched realism and expression.

Classic 4-Operator FM

A 4-operator variant of its big brother based on 3 more modest vintage FM synths; the DX21 (1985), DS8 (1987), and TQ5 (1988). FMX2-XL delivers classic vintage FM sounds in all of their '80s glory (both the good and the bad!). We utilized the novel features of each synth in our patch designs, including unique unison modes and built-in effects which contribute heavily to their iconic sound.

Dual-Layer 8-Operator FM

Based on the original 8-operator FM synthesizer, the FVX-1 (1988), FMX-8op is a complex and spacious sounding instrument with detailed modulation, rich unisons and a highly-polished finish thanks to its fantastic built-in effects. Presented in a dual-layer design, FMX-8op offers huge tonal control and the ability to easily stack patches from multiple synths for some truly thick FM sounds.

'80s FM Studio Classics

A 4-operator variant of the FMX-8op, providing deep control over sounds from iconic '80s workhorses like the TX81Z (1987), DX100 (1985), and more. FMX-4op delivers many of the studio classic sounds common to pop hits of the era, along with new sounds inspired by genres of today. A dual-layer design provides discrete amps, filters, modulation and arpeggiators.

The GS2 FM Legacy

Based on one of the original FM keyboards, the GS2, FMX-GS offers a unique and charactered sound in a neat package. One of the most rare and vintage of FM synthesizers, we fully-restored this model (complete with magnet cards) and crafted a collection of heartfelt sounds to immortalize this unique keyboard.

I’m very impressed with FM Suite! I relied on FM synthesis for many years, I own almost all these original hardware, and with FM Suite I have easily access to these iconic sounds. Thank you UVI for making my life easy!

I love FM synthesizers from the '80s. This UVI soundbank not only filled a void, but perfectly fits into more modern and current sets. From Caribbean music, house, pop to world jazz and more, it has become a go-to on stage, or in the studio!

"
"From the popular to the esoteric, you can find just about every flavor of FM you would ever need in FM suite. I highly recommend it for anyone who is a fan of synths and sound design!"
"It sounds outstandingly good, with a healthy sign being that you almost forget that this is about FM synths. [...] This should be something worth looking at for anyone in need of good electronic sounds, for all forms of music."
"A great addition to the UVI catalog and one I know fans of the genre will adore."
