So say I have the FM matrix in front of me. I route E into F. Then I route D into F. D is my secondary moduation, as I make that the high harmonic, put the waveform on 10th format, and turn the ratio up to 58-62. I then modulate E, which has a ratio of 1.5. I get a pretty generic "yeeeeuuuueeehhh" I then route C to D, and give C a ratio of 2. I now get "yeeeeeaaaaauuuuggggggghhhh".
Here's to demonstrate my problem.
I can't tell if I'm into something, or this is just an dead end. I can hear something back there, but it's so cluttered with high end noise.
Everything is modulating everything too much, thats where the white noise comes from.
Take a look at this video to get a good basis for fm8 vowel growls:
This will get you the vowel part, maybe not as much the growly part youre looking for but its a good start.
Aaaaah, I see. Was just messing with FM8 and got MUUCH cleaner sounds. Guess I really over thought that.

Yeah i dont remember who said this but it resonated with me, some of the greatest sounds werent created through technical know-how genius, they often come about through experimentation and accident.
Yeah ZachFlyod on the IL forums figured out the KTN patch, along with most of the xKore sounds you hear around this forum too.. He's made alot of good shit that kid.

Simple formula..Growl Synth, Distortion, EQ Modulation or Automation, and Saturation. Works everytime.

More like a recipe. Plus I'd reccomend putting distortion after filtering.
Somehow I always get a "deathstep" vibe. Really want a more groovy bassline, almost a brostep bassline. Can't really figure it out.

Sounds quite cool, I really should put some time in to learning more FM stuff...

yeah fm's where it's at. then i resample a few times thru plugins and throw it into kontakt or renoise, or both

That is pretty good, do you mind sharing how you made it?

Hi, i'm new to the forums but I have been lurking on this thread for quite a while before actually signing up, I though I might share an attemp at growl synthesis using FM8. If you like this feel free to ask me how I made it and I will gladly explain.

Yeah man. There's a lot of shit going on with it, mostly bass processing, but I'll make a video since I can't really put it down in words.

This image should explain it, btw it was mostly educated guesses when I programmed the FM Matrix in FM8. One last thing regarding the large amount of white noise in the growl; I am sure all said noise could be corrected but it would require messing with the FM Matrix a lot and might make the growl less intense if that makes any sense, my guess is something is feeding in to something too much and causing WAY too much distortion.
