I put up an audio snippet of MOTM hi-hats and something similar to a kettle
drum some time ago and I thought I described the FM techniques for doing
them. Perhaps the archives still have my post. The audio is no longer up in
my ftp space though. I'm in the process of clearing files off of AOL, so if
you want to hear some FM techiques applied to doing Cymbals or the low notes
on a Piano, get the MP3's of my Roland JP-8080 virtual analog doing them now,
before they disappear. Links below. Note that to get cymbals that sound as
huge as the cymbal crash at the end of my cymbal audio snippet, I needed to
use the complete polyphony of the JP-8080, that's two different stacked
sounds x 5 voices spread apart on the keyboard. Anything I've tried on the
MOTM sounds wimpy in comparison, and I've tried a lot, including feedback
loops through ring modulators hoping to get a huge spectrum of metalic sound
(doesn't work), two levels deep of FM, and so on.
