PlugInGuru.com's Power Review # 1
Native Instruments FM8
FM8 is a very powerful virtual instrument that has been around for a few years. Because of it's powerful synthesis engine, easy to use interface and to be honest, it's lacking in lots of high quality patches, FM8 was THE perfect candidate to become Power Review #1. This review is presented in 2 separate parts:
|
PART 1 covers a basic overview of the FM8 sound capabilities (presented with a minimum of synthesizer programming talk) and we look at a number of AWESOME ways to make using the Browser of FM8 easier and more powerful than it was before!
|
PART 2 is all about programming FM8. Watch as we program both Subtractive as well as FM Synthesis from the same plug-in. Skippy will also show you how to link envelopes as well as how to use the Pitch EG in creative ways. This is one Power Review that you don't want to miss!

FM8 Time Limited Demo
There is a fully functional DEMO version of FM8 you can download for FREE from the Native Instruments website. The demo version only works for 30 min. at a time, but everything else works and it includes 900+ factory patches to check out. Skippy HIGHLY recommends getting the demo and installing it so that you can watch the Power Review and follow along with the plug-in open on your computer at the same time.
FM8 Example Tunes

These are the demo songs that you hear thru the Power Reviews for FM8. ALL the sounds (except drums and voice) are from the FREE and VOL. 1 banks of FM8 patches. NO OTHER Instrument Plug-In was used !!!
Minimal effect processing (compression, limiting and minimal EQ from Universal Audio effects) has been applied so you are hearing what FM8 sounds like with Skippy's patches... Huge props to Samplebase for the use of the vocal sample libraries.
