"text": "This basic FM patch consists of one so-called \"FM Operator\".\nAn FM Operator is usually comprised of two oscillators, two envelopes and two amplifiers.\n\nThe first oscillator is the \"Modulator\" and the 2nd the \"Carrier\".\nThe idea is that the first oscillator modulates the second at audio rate, with the modulation adjusted by the first envelope and VCA.\n\nIn practice, Envelopes of FM synthesizers are more complex than the ones used here.\n\nAlso, I'm not sure if this can sound like FM at all.\nFor real FM sound, disconnect the upper row and let the bottom row play.",
