ALM Intros FMco Compact FM Synth Voice
ALM has introduced the FMco, a compact FM synthesis-based VCO and synth voice module.
It features an original 2-operator FM synthesis implementation, tuned for immediate use and a modern sound. The FMco offers both manual and voltage control over FM Index, Ratio and a selection of classic operator waveforms, for creating a wide palette of FM sounds from a simple set of controls.
A built-in decay envelope is routed to both FM depth and output level, allowing the FMco to function as a full synth voice when triggered.
The FMco also includes CV-controlled four-voice chords, an encoder-based tuning system for easy accurate pitch control, and a stereo-widened output.
Features:
- 2 Operator FM synthesizer voice with direct and voltage controlled parameters.
- Easy tuning via an encoder control.
- FM Index offset with direct and CV control with attenuverter.
- 8 Operator wave shapes with direct and CV control with attenuator.
- Ratio control with lock switch for both free and precise operator ratios.
- Trigger input for simple built in decay envelope, internally connected to Index level and output VCA level.
- Direct and voltage-controllable chord mode with inversion and up to 4 voices.
- Left and Right outputs with stereo widening effect.
- USB-C for quick and easy ‘drag and drop’ firmware updates.
- Skiff friendly with reverse power protection.
- 2 Year Warranty
The ALM FMco is available now for $271 USD.
