Not sure what you mean by “proper” FM. Analog modular synths are certainly capable of real FM.DJ Warmonger wrote:Did you mean "digital" maybe? That's quite not the same.BertKoor wrote:The hardware synths in this category are under the hood all software.

FM requires very precise frequency control, which can't be achieved by a bunch of unstable modules patched together. Also, switching between algorithms is not easy either in analog domain.
FYI, precise frequency control, especially division and multiplication, in hardware is often achieved with digital PLL device.
Though to yield the DX-7 type of FM, you won‘t get it by modulating directly an osc who adjusts its freq by V/Octave... It could work on these old Korgs though...deastman wrote:For starters, a handful of cheap self-oscillating filter modules and some buffered mults and mixers will let you do FM in the analog domain. A search for thru-zero FM oscillators will yield plenty of results. And there are plenty of digital FM modules available too.
