Václav Peloušek about MONO FM

"This is the first firmware I have written for the first Trinity prototype. It sort of went out of control. From the original idea of having a nice sounding FM synth, it came a long way. I was adding more oscillators and algorithms and it ended up in a lot of overflows, so the CPU was not able to handle it anymore and this limitation is basically affecting the sound. The result is extremely unique glitchy sounds, where the limited computing power is the key factor. You cannot hear clean wavetables anymore, but the ways they interact with each other is really something special. I dont know if people would appreciate that kind of hardcore digital FM synth (maybe I go back and write a clean one, too), BUT I am fucking proud of this one and wanted to release and share it! Its really deep!"
