Fruity DX10

DEMO ONLY: Fruity DX10 comes as a demo version in FL Studio and needs to be purchased separately so you can save projects containing Fruity DX10 channels.

Fruity DX10 is 8-voice polyphonic FM synth (Frequency Modulation) and is designed for high quality (low aliasing) sound and low processor usage. This plugin is an enhanced version of Paul Kellett's DX10 FM synth.

FM synthesis involves modulating the pitch of one oscillator (waveform) with the pitch of another. If this is done quickly enough, rather than hearing a rising and falling pitch, you hear a new ‘tone’.

FM created a sensation in the mid 80’s when it enabled sounds like realistic bells, piano and acoustic bass to be synthesized for the first time.

Parameters

Misc Section

Wave Brightness (WAVE) - Turning the wheel to the right adds brightness to the generated sound.
Octave Shift (COARSE) - Use this wheel to shift the octaves of the synth.
Vibrato LFO Rate (LFO RATE) - Sets the speed of the vibrato effect.
Vibrato Amount (VIB) - Sets the vibrato amplitude amount (vibrato strength).

Amplitude Section

Contains controls to set the volume envelope of the sound

Envelope Attack (ATT) - Sets the attack (fade in) length of the synth.
Envelope Decay (DEC) - Sets the decay (fade out) length of the synth.
Envelope Release (REL) - Sets the release (fade out after key is released) length of the synth.

Modulation Sections

Coarse Tune (COARSE) - Use to set the modulation speed (pitch).
Fine Tune (COARSE) - Use to fine tune the modulation speed (pitch).
Modulation Velocity (VEL.SENS) - Sets the velocity of the modulation.
Pass Though (THRU) - Turn to the right to mix the modulation wave with the output (apart from modulation of the signal). This control is available only for the first modulator.
Amplitude Init (INIT) - The start amplitude of the modulation.
Amplitude Time (TIME) - Time needed for the modulation amplitude to reach the sustain level (see below).
Amplitude Sustain (SUS) - The sustain amplitude of modulation.
Amplitude Release (REL) - The time needed for the modulation amplitude to reach zero after key release.
