Hey Guys,

I'm really impressed by PD since a few days. After checking out some little things i started to make my first little project.
It grew more and more and now I'm well ... bit proud ?, so I want to share with you - and hope about some constructive Critics.

What is it, what I'm talkin' about?

It's a 6-voice Polyphonic FM-Synthesizer.
All Synthesizers are routed in a row, they all have an ADSR.
The Modulator have Frequency Multiply and Modulate-Strength.
The Carrier has Main Volume.
There is a Filter, with BP, LP and HP. Filter Envelope (ADSR as well), Envelope Influence.

You can watch how your wave is looking and before it goes out into your Speakers you can play with a little Delay.

It's also possible save and Load up to 100 Presets, which are saved in Text-files, so you can share and show to me or to others or to your grandparents if you want .

Please give me a little note in the stuff, where could i make the Influence better and what do you think could i do to fix the crappy looking at the multiply-voice-part.

Have fun,

Jones

P.S.: Could everybody open the .app Patch on a mac or is it just possible if you have PD installed ?

Edit: Here is the new Version.
I added some more Color and a LFO and modified the Filter a little bit. with the Modwheel you can now Influence the Cutoff Frequency.

Does anyone of you have any idea how to lower the clicks, when using the LFO for one of the Modulation Parameters ?

hey colcapp,

i'm quite new in PD as well, i also started with the project fm synthesizer as my first real project and nearly finished it today.
I started with building some basic stuff, which i would need in many cases and patches, for example a simple ADSR abstraction or simple Synthesizer, with possible ADSR function.
This was quite quick finished, so i started to do the things about which i thought this are the most important. and after and after the other stuff came, so now i think its nearly a finished synth.
This is the way i can recommand.
If the ADSR envelope is important then start with this. if its the filter, start with this.
but i think what is important is that you look how you want your finished synthie to work like. so you should keep in mind what you want to add and make your patch tidy and open for new stuff.
I think this is an easy way to build a synth from which you have a little idea how it is working. And your not going to lose the motivation cause what your doing seems important to you.
