FM8

Reviewed By John Vulich [all]
December 9th, 2001
Version reviewed: 1.00.004 on Windows

This is definitely the best VSTi that I have tried to date. I am very impressed as to how well NI has copied the DX7 architecture. Actually, it seems to me that they have modeled it more after the SY77/TG77 than the DX7. They have also added several new and innovative features while flawlessly retaining backward compatibility sound-wise. The addition of a filter operator really gives the FM7 a lot more flexibility at replicating more traditional analogs type synth sounds. The “Easy Edit” feature is great for quick "on the fly" tweaks.

IMO this will be the new yardstick that all VSTi’s will be judged by… Well, at least for a little while.

To Miroslav, about the archive files with extension .sit:

The archive files with the extention .sit are a nightmare! Above all for all the people using Windows or Linux.

AVOID the archives .sit files!!.

You compel to install a specific expander for these files which are in a proprietary format! The standard archive/unarchive tools are ALL incompatible with this proprietary format! And even worse, even the specific tool itself change its specifications from a version to another.

To unarchive .sit files, first you compel to install StuffIt Expander... that generally we have not on our systems. So we install this tool... but it's then necessary to know that the last version that expanded the .sit file was the 2010 version. Starting from the 2011 version... Stuffit expander expands only the .sitx version, no more the .sit version.

So you compel your readers to install Stuffit Expander 2010! Not the later versions.

And above all, whatever your operating system... use .zip files or .rar files to stay compatible with every body.

Even you Stuffit tool can create .zip and .rar files to stay compatible with everybody.

To avoid the bothering installation of this specific expander totally unnecessary in the daily use of our systems and so to give access to these four files to EVERYONE, some minutes ago I just reuploaded the four files in the universal standard format that everybody can read natively, the .zip format! And I have set the four files in a one package.
