Sooooo glad this video is still on youtube some 10 years later. Im new to EDM. I have to say how quickly you got to a Skrillex type sound, I really believe now that Skrillex comments are true that he used this synth a ton. Not serum. Especially when I just found out that Serum wasnt even out when he made a lot of his best remixes. Having just started using serum you got to a useful tone with barely any tweaking compared to serum. I needs Fm8 !!!!
yoo if u new check this out - ua-cam.com/video/MEaP99XBaoI/v-deo.html its more skrillexy-accurate if u looking for that particular growl, it helped me a lot
Thanks so much for this. I've just recently scraped up enough to get me a copy of FM8 but it was so complicated to use I almost gave up. You just gave me a little hope for myself here. I also subbed and thanks again :D
Thanks, great tutorial and great patch! However, I think most producers use a different kind of growl based on formant waveforms i think. If you listen to Kill The Noise or Skrillex growls they have this characteristic sound that you get from using the formant waveform in FM8. Might want to try that out
Why when I make a sound in FM8 and put it into the song, save it, and close ableton, then open ableton up again, it's making a completely different sound. Still dirtyish sounding, but it's usually muddier and doesn't sound the same. It changed every time, but if i keep playing the sound over and over it slowly goes back to normal. I don't get it.
It should be fine to buy on Apple Newsstand - search "Computer Music magazine" in the app store/iTunes. If you can't get it going, email us on computermusicATfuturenetDOTcom and we'll help you out :)
huge thanks to the man that shared this bit of knowledge - GOD BLESS your SOUL and may you live long and prosper - knowledge is gold - and you are very generous with it... BIG TINGZ ARE GOING TO GO DOWN BECAUSE OF THE KNOWLEDGE U PASSED DOWN TO ME BRUH - 3z entertainment SAVAGE AS FUCK
Guys I have a question for you,I had some strange behaviour with this synth,when I hit a note fm8's virtual keyboard sounds so different compared to when you play with a midi keyboard.Is it just a bug or did I have to do something with it ? BTW great tutorial,'gonna use that synth !
So good, FM8 has so much fucking potential and can make Massive sound like shit, but there are so few tutorials on how to use it to its potential. Thanks!
Funny thing is he probably sat down and was lonely or bored or even high and was like hmm wonder if I can make my vst synths talk.. which goes way back to psy/goa styles they were the original synth talkers. I think skrillex and deadmau5e and a shit ton of other edm/idm/abc/123 bedroom producers with Komplete just found a more aggressive way of making those sounds, like adding bit-crush fx and the like on those sounds. But i could be wrong, that's just my crazy theory.

Awesome tutorial. It's quite hard to find a really good FM8 tutorial with an awesome bass sound. This video delivers.
Information on FM8 is so scarce. Thanks for this gem.
Best fm8 tutorial on UA-cam, and in under 5 minutes!
wow i used to complicate my life way too much to get this sound with fm8. HUGE thank you :)

Dude this is why I read CM to get such hints. Thanks for an awesome video!
you are a life saver
Nicely done!
Just what I needed. Big ups my guy 😁
omg.... best one i have ever watched!

Very nice man!
Thanks for this very clear tutorial. I like the fact you only you use 2 real operators and rely on the 'Digital Quality' slider :)
thanks for this video man !
Fuck!! it took me a minute to realize this is my fav synth, thanks man.

if it works in fm8, can it somehow work in dexed?

8 years later
me trying recreate it in serum
indeed hahaha :)
awesome tutorial! thx
Maybe your midi keyboard is transmitting midi notes at a lower velocity? Some sounds/patches will be altered depending on the midi velocity.
Good tip!
@Devin it's messing up the unison. Turn unison all the way down to one than back up to whatever you had, should work fine. Happens to me all the time!
This is a fucking great tutorial mate!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, thanks very much, this sound is very clean, like skrillex!! Nice job man!!
Fuuuck yeah!!!!!!!!
Woow, Do you think that it can work on a real DX7?
0:21 what's vowl-call style ?
Thank you !! :) :)
nice nd helpful thx man
When I route the E and F to X I get no sound do you know this happens?

bring this into an instrument rack and add a nice sub bass= room shaker mode :D
at first it was more like the kill the noise "yoi"... nice :)
i meant i couldnt buy it cuz i had no cash and also this isnt much of a growl but a yoi bass that is slowly rising O_o
Close lol still not identical to his however. Maybe we need massive
Haha, same here.
He says "vocal-style growls"
2:07 it just sounds like a yoi...
great vid, fast, but great, learn shit loads in 4 mins flat.
