It is July 2008 and this lady from long ago is still residing in my "Go-to" section. What can i say, this thing is so beautifully emotional I barely believe how good it is for its age.

Hard, gritty, filthy, lush, sexy, the sound creation possibillities are boundless. It is better suited towards industrial noise type of sounds but equally on foot making 'different' bass and lead sounds. The envelope section on this beauty is not your everyday adsr fare but with added extra controls for sound mangling joy. The oscillators (3) have a wide range of octaves, detune, and tone controls to build with and different inner FM structures to choose as a basis for your sound design.

Not many presets to start with but this synth goes far beyond what the original patches show.

Like the dreaded panzers in the second great war, this thing is tough, noisy, and bound to frighten you with its presence and sound possibilities.

Customer support is nill as the creators personal life had him leave shortly after his advent into vstidom and now his creations have gained a cult status. And though they are old, they are as stable as can be on MOST modern PCs.

Nasty. That's the only word I can think of to describe this SynthEdit creation. Wait, here's another: weird. And another: wicked.

This is one of those FM synths that somehow manages to sound like an industrial plant gone haywire. For hard-edged techno, industrial, IDM, etc., this would be a must-have synth. Fortunately, the price is right (it's free)!

If you're looking for lush, cool DX7-style crystal or bell sounds, lush EP, or punchy FM bass, keep looking. This synth's forte is aggressive, wild sounds that you won't find anywhere else.

probally one of my favorite synth edit creations and maybe one of the best FM like VSti's. i have used this in many songs and i own FM7! its not very full sounding but it can still stand with synths that cost money. this is very stable for a synth edit creation.

PM4 was used in cubase 5.0

P4@1.5GHz with 512Mb rambus

and a MOTU 828
