I was curious about the FM algorithms available on my Nord Drum 3P. I’m comfortable with FM synthesis and want to know what they are but I haven’t been able to find any diagrams for them, or any description beyond ‘FM algorithms’.
According the Nord Drum 3P product page, as well as on all of the marketing materials for the product, there are supposed to be 6 different FM algorithms.
However, the Nord Drum 3P User Manual lists only 4 of them (waves F1 - F4).The FM Synthesis mode features 6 different FM algorithms where the Frequency parameter controls modulation amount and Spectra controls modulation frequency.
Just do double-check, I powered on the unit and sure enough, there’s only F1 - F4 available. So where are the other two algorithms located?
I then checked the Nord Drum 2 User Manual and it lists waves (F1 - F6). Well, okay. I guess that’s where the two missing algorithms can be found. But that’s not particularly helpful without owing a Nord Drum 2.
