Overview

Classic FM, freely rewired.

FM Lab is an eight-operator FM synthesizer for HALion, with HALion's virtual analogue synthesis on hand beside the operators. Its algorithms are yours to build: any operator can modulate any other, or itself, by raising the gain where they meet. DX7 veterans can start from the original algorithms or load their old SysEx banks, while newcomers can begin from the factory presets and draw rhythmic envelopes by hand. It needs HALion 7 or the free HALion Sonic 7. Steinberg introduced FM Lab with HALion 7, so owners of HALion 7 or the HALion Sonic 7 Collection should check whether they already have it.
