Description

DS Skada FM is an FM-based drum synthesizer modeled after the other "DS" m4l devices. Give it a listen: https://soundcloud.com/iron-range-industries/sets/ds-skada-fm-drum-synthesizer

Inspired by the Korg ER-1 and Elektron Model:Cycles, this drum synth is designed to minimize controls yet be capable of producing a vast range of sounds. Happy noise making, and reach out with any questions or bugs.

Note: it was previously released here as one of my many variants of "valence" FM based instruments. I'm going though and updating them, fixing old bugs, etc. Notable improvements for this version are:

1. Way better voice handling. There was weird stealing before.

2. Improved envelopes with a more predictable decay curve

3. Chromatic mode. Set the pitch to "0" and you can play it across a keyboard, drum pad, etc.

4. Proper mapping for Push, Move, and other controllers.
