No longer available as a VST
You Canby the VST version from Plugin Boutique.
Ahhh... didn't realize it could still be purchased. No Mac version of course, and it is no longer being developed.

GHOST is hands down the best FM synth ever :hail: Try the demo if you haven't yet :D

I was invited to try the beta months ago, but I could not download it properly because of false virus positives.

Yeah this was problem on windows back around Dec 2021-Jan 2022. It's been fine ever since then

Perhaps when you get the feedback implementation correct :D
An operator envelope ALSO affects the amount of feedback that goes back to the operator itself ,iow a decaying envelope will also attenuate the op's harmonic content over time , which is not the case on your synth.
You have implemented the feedback loop before the operator's AMP*ENV stage,just like OXE FM who also did it wrong ,it makes a world of difference .

GHOST is not a yamaha dx-7 emulation. The feedback algorithm is my own. If you want a decaying feedback amount the way you described, try modulating the feedback amount with ENV1. You will create the same effect. This is how GHOST was intended to be used.

Another vote Bleass Omega.

Not the deepest FM synth but the easily quickest and nicest to use.

Fantastic UI. I find a lot of the matric based FMs very fiddly and busy. Omega is much more streamlined but still very capable of producing results.

I got the desktop version of Omega and its presets for free because I was so nice to BLEASS when reporting to them about a state-saving bug for both Alpha and Omega.

Aurora FM is really nice. The developer is really cool as well. Fm8 is still my go-to for regular Yammy style PM sounds though. Bazille is also a very nice setup especially for some of the stranger things that can be done by combining FM PM and PD. All the modular DSP environments (Pure data, Super collider, reaktor etc) are very good for FM too especially when you want to incorporate live inputs and other oddities into the algorithm.
Don't F**K with Mr. Zero.
