a detailed description of fM synthesis is neither possible

in the course of this guide nor necessary. nevertheless,

certain basic knowledge is helpful.

frequency Modulation is based on the principle that a

base frequency is modulated by a second frequency - and

thereby a new tone is produced, from which the originally

used frequencies are not necessarily audible. in frequency

Modulation one does not speak of oscillators, but of

operators. these can be used as a so-called carrier for

the base frequency or as a Modulator.
