No wou wqont need any FM to create sounds.. Ihardly ever use FM myself...by
'just' creating basic VSO's up to 2 per voice (4 in dual mode) whith then
van be altered by the filters, LFO, peg, feg, aeg etc.... I wonder if
there's a good article for you on the web... the mini tutorials in the
manual are a good starting point as well..

liked your explanation of FM, but still am not sure..what is the bare

am guessing no, because I can set it to all 0 parameters and get notes..

I think in a few places I have seen one option for parameters where you can
choose among several input types where you can set it to "fixed" and I
though this meant "not modulating" or effectively "off"..but thought to
check.

electronics days it is one that goes around picking several different inputs
in turn...) and what is its' best use? I thought I noticed that for some
piano presets the ring modulator affects more the hard hits and makes them
more interesting..like a real electric piano when you hit the hammers hard?
