Yes, I'm still alive !
Just stumbled on an article about this FM synth and it looks to have a fascinatingly fresh take on 4-OP FM, that combines some simplification with added flexibility (including filters).
Has anyone done or started a project that implements some of it's interesting ideas? If not, I may take a stab at it in my tinker-toy non-coding way. Love the sound of FM, and always keen to look at ways to make it friendlier to pgm. The Digitone appears to make smart and musical choices in it's simplifications - i.e.: OPs B1 and B2 share the same EG, etc.
If I do tear into this, I may come begging fer help with the EGs - they're a bit unusual (though FAR simpler than DX7).
