Hi All !

Methinks it's more the "wobble" in frequency that makes analogue less 
useful for FM .  On an Oberheim Xpander one can do some weird fm 
tricks, like the bells n such, but the osc's are not stable enough to 
be predictable, so more "normal" sounds just do not happen .  On the 
Nord Modular, where phase is not specified either, very good DX 
sounds can be done, but then, the osc's are digital, and won't move 
unless told so :)

The Yamaha FM is in fact Phase modulation :  the index into the 
wavetable is increased or decreased according to the modulation 
index, that is a scaled from an input sine .  But this does amount to 
frequency modulation .

My 300's are not built yet, so we'll see when they are ;-)

Bye for now .


Keep 'em oscillating :)
