Description
FMD by Mensla is a distortion plugin that adds rich FM harmonics to audio signals using a single knob.
It changes any signal quickly and effectively, combining FM modulation with a soft clipper to produce a wide range of distortion effects.
The plugin features a minimalist black-and-white interface with controls for input, output, and drive, centered around the main FM knob.
The FM knob modulates the input signal with a sine wave, allowing users to adjust the amount of distortion by altering the frequency and amplitude of the modulator.
FMD works well when paired with other FM synth plugins, such as Mensla's MS-2, to create complex and aggressive sounds.
The plugin also includes a unique "casino" screen that appears after three minutes of use, which can be bypassed by supporting the developer on Patreon.
Tips
- Experiment with the FM knob to find the right balance of harmonics for your sound.
- Use the drive control to add additional saturation and warmth to your signal.
- Pair FMD with other FM synth plugins like MS-2 to create complex and layered sounds.
- Utilize the soft clipper to manage the intensity of the distortion and prevent clipping.
- Explore different input signals to see how FMD transforms various types of audio.
- Consider supporting the developer on Patreon to access a version without the "casino" screen pop-up.
