Everything Fors produces is top notch.

The real-time graphical display of each operator/adsr feels like an fm breakthrough to me. This tool is so simple/deep, immediate/satisfying. Your creativity in all the fors devices is so inspiring. Thanks.

Such an elegant synth. It makes FM sounds simple

[PhilippEmilHerrmann]

Thanks for another amazing synth and thanks for putting the recording up for those of us in inconvenient time zones! Every single Fors device has been such a great addition and something I keep finding myself using over other options.

I didn't know about these devices until yesterday. I'm looking forward to the next SALE to get most of them. Outstanding work.

[PittsMultiPass]

Only recently discovered you. Very pleased that I did! AWSOME work! I am getting inspired again :)

Having difficulties not to systematically pick Glänta these days.
It's just too good.

This is very nice to learn FM synthesis foundation because the waves are clearly visualized. Also I love this low key voice, no wired BGM. Much appreciated.

[nsjx]

Thanks a lot for this one. I like the way you conceptualize the simplexity of these devices. I also love the music you are creating in the background. Some lovely vibes. I bought this immense instrument around the first of the month and been loving results from very little effort. Thanks

[NoPhonesOnTheFloor]

Looks and Sounds great. Will probably buy this as my first fors synth, with for sure some others to follow in the next months

[mytrackmachine]

Love some of these design choices. Clearly you did a lot of comparative research during development. The end result is intuitive and diverse in output despite only being a 2op FM. Excellent stuff.

[justingoers]

Been looking forward to this video. Thank you! Love this synth.

the sounds starting around 42:30 with the rising env release stage are wild!

Thanks for posting this, I enjoy hearing about all the design choices. Also... 51:00 had me thinking soft-synths really need synced envelopes times, that would be amazing!

[clarkflavour]

Ok, ok, ok - I will eagerly buy everything you make

[Turkeybirb]

THIS IS MY FAVOURITE M4L. SORRY BOUT THE CAPS BUT THIS SHIT SLAPS

[CalendulaF]

Closest thing in Hardware for me would be Industrial Music Electronics Hertz Donut mk3 (even though it has three Operators). Ofcourse, one has to externally generate all the envelopes, but the way, you can feedback and crossmodulate a small handful ofsine-oscillators is very similar. In the box is much more convenient but there is also something quite explorative to slowly twiddling knobs and faders and just listen while surfing the parameter space… 🥰

Will you add more of your tools to the Ableton store ? just bought Chiral yesterday !

[gracescale]

Thanks for the product and the presentation, but I have probably missed: What does the "download" icon do?
