Dive In And Get Inspired By F.’em’s Incredible Sound Manipulation Tools
F.’em FM Synthesizer is not just one of the most powerful FM synths ever made, it’s also one of the most versatile. F-em is divided into seven different sections that control the various functions:
- (1) The Header Section offers basic instrument functions.
- (2) The Main Edit section includes lot of controls to edit a Sound Layer in detail.
- (3) The Layer Section lets you select and control the 4 Sound Layers.
- (4) On the Left Side, you find certain sub sections for controlling FM Operators, Filters, the Arpeggiator, Effects etc.
- (5) The EQ page includes a four-band equalizer, the Arp Page offers a powerful arpeggiator, the Effects Page offers four effects for each layer. The Mod Page contains an extensive modulation matrix and the Layer Page contains various options and parameters for each of the four layers.
- (6) The Master and Arpeggiator Master section offers global parameters.
- (7) The Modulation Sources section offers the Macro Page, 2 Flow LFOs, lots of additional mod sources as well as modifier sources.
- (8) The Virtual Keyboard provides a virtual full-range keyboard with 128 keys
The Main Edit section lets you dive much deeper into the FM synthesis engine and offer lots of parameters to control nearly everything.
The deep sound creation possibilities include four sound layers with eight operators each, that offer typical analog waveforms and separate pitch and level LFOs as well as pitch and level envelopes.
There are two additional sample oscillators and a white and pink noise generator. Followed by two serial multimode filters and a four-band equalizer with shelf and bell curves.
Each layer can be mixed into four effect busses, each featuring a sum overdrive, a compressor, a modulation effect like chorus, flanger, phaser or sum filter, and a space effect like delay or clocked delay, or natural, plate or non-linear reverb.
Freely assignable modulations with an easy-to-understand user interface offer maximum flexibility easily surpassing even expensive hardware synthesizers. F.’em offers 2 Flow LFOs, modulation modifiers and a wide range of sources.
32 Stage Tempo Sync Envelopes
An envelope is envelope, right? Not in F.’em! All envelopes include up to 32 stages that can be tempo synced.
A real must have for musicians looking for tools to create intricate rhythmic configurations. F.’em envelopes: when complexity became beauty.
Flow LFO
Say goodbye to classic, boring LFOs. F.’em includes two 8 step flow LFOs allowing 8 different waveforms to be selected and switch-modulated by any source. What’s more, each waveform can be freely drawn, unleashing a sound designers dream.
Operator Matrix
F.’em is not just one of the most powerful FM synths ever made, it’s also one of the most versatile. Packing in 8 synchronizable wave, 2 sample and a noise operator allows for the most savage bass and ripping lead sounds associated with synths like the mighty Access Virus.
Thanks to a freely-configurable oscillator matrix, F.’em can produce FM sounds virtually indistinguishable from legendary instruments like the Yamaha TX81Z, the Yamaha DX7 and the lavish, 8-operator Yamaha GS1. A 200 pound synth so luxurious that only 16 units were sold.
Modulation & Modifier Matrix
F.’em’s superpower lies within its outrageously deep modulation matrix. This creates endless possibilities allowing the user to create absolutely unique FM sounds. And if you want a change of pace and are looking for something besides pure FM synthesis, no matter how powerful? Look no further.
Layers, Macros, Awesome Effects, Powerful App
Not interested in diving into the multitude of available parameters? Don’t worry. F.’em is immediately enjoyable and easy to use. The macros let you control all fundamental parameters.
The rich multi-effect section is easily accessible and tweakable. All layers can be activated and deactivated in a snap and the arpeggiator is an endless-joy-giver.

"F.’em is very powerful. It’s hard to think of a better equipped FM synth. This comes at a price however; despite a well laid-out UI and quality presets, this remains a fairly advanced instrument. This is a big, powerful soft synth and a deep, inviting well of sound design possibilities!"

"This synth plugin has a wealth of features and, in my own mind, it is the new king-of-the-hill for FM synths. As you can tell by this review, it has everything but the kitchen sink and I don’t see anything out there that gets close to it. To sum up F.’em: Great sound, easy to use, nice presets, super powerful and it just may be the new leader of the pack."

James – :
For the money, incredible – $29 (or $33 after conversion) down from $179 … it sounds good – honestly, the presets are nothing terribly different from other FM synths I have – but the capacity to tweak is what makes it special … if you’re willing to spend the time you can come up with something unique … so for that its worth the $29 (or euros or whichever – hey, VST Buzz – start pricing things in $ please – arturia and every one else charges $29/29 euros!)
Robert – :
Spectacular synth, can’t get enough of it. The possibilities for design are near endless. Huge variety of presets.
Eric – :
Tracktion stuff is always solidly built and uniquely useful. F’em is no exception, handling FM synthesis in an unexpectedly flexible way. With 11 operators it’s ridiculously flexible.
Georgios – :
The price is so low for an amazing instrument like that. I would recommended it for those who are looking for a powerful and versatile synth with a user-friendly interface. Best FM synth on par with Bazille, Arturia Dx7 and Korg opsix(sorry fm8)
George – :
F’Em is a complex but excellent FM synth. Easily worth the money at this price point. It has had great reviews elsewhere too.
Dale – :
Excellent way to visualize FM synthesis. I have a lot of FM synths and this one is my favorite to program.
Mark – :
F ‘Em sounds great. 4 full layers, fully flexible carrier and operator routing, and plenty of idiomatic factory patches to introduce beginners to FM synthesis. There are other options on the market if DX7 emulation is your goal, but for $29, this is a winner.
Yoshino – :
I can fully enjoy sound creation with 11op, 16 unisons, and 4 layers.
I can also use samples as modulators, making this new technique worth exploring.
The presets are beautiful, the UI is beautiful, and I am very happy with it.
Frank – :
Very good value. Great sounds and unlimited possiblities for sound design.
Intergrated effects are very good and easy to manage.
Synth engine needs a litte bit of deep dive to get the complete view.
HIROSHI – :
I think this is the only plug-in for the 11 operator FM tone generator.
It seems to have a few bugs, but you can get a thick and clean FM sound.
Li-Wen – :
Great sounding synth but FM synthesis is not for the faint of heart. Incredibly powerful but you’ll need to take the time to fully unlock it’s potential.
Matthew – :
The new king of FM synthesis. Somewhat complex to learn, but you can make make pretty much any kind of cool sound with it.
Jay – :
Amazing value here , steep learning curve. But a great synth , hopefully lots of tutorials.
It will replace FM 8 easily.
Todd – :
Good 8 operator FM synth- has extras for layering other synthesis types with an FM synth- which sets it apart from other older and newer FM synth VSTs on the market (2023). A good value if you love FM synthesis, know how to program FM, and desire those extra synth layers- otherwise there are other VSTs that are easier to work with (for only FM synthesis). Really like that this one has free run mode for the operators and subtractive Filters with drive- very thoughtful additions that can make quite a difference.
