Frequency Modulation synthesis

Frequency Modulation (FM) synthesis is a method of creating sounds by varying the frequency of one waveform using another. Imagine a smooth wave (the carrier) having its pitches changed by another wave (the modulator). This interaction produces complex tones that can mimic musical instruments, create unique sounds, or add depth to music. FM synthesis is widely used in electronic music and sound design, as it allows for a broad range of timbres and textures by adjusting the modulation depth and frequency. It's a powerful tool for composers and producers looking to create innovative sounds.
