Freaq FM - 8-bit Digital FM Generative Synthesizer.

This is the Fully Assembled Version. See store link for DIY Kit version

The Freaq FM is an 8-bit digital synthesizer for your desktop featuring dual 2-op FM voice architecture with multiple waveforms, LFO and modulation envelopes with a 16-step generative sequencer.

From soul-soothing sine waves to multiverse-shredding modulated distortion, slapping bass lines to soaring arp leads, the Freaq FM is a powerhouse of sound design packaged with a melodic and intuitive generative sequencer inspired by the likes of Elektron, Intellijel & Music Thing.

With 2 channels of liquid FM sounds, it plays great by itself or synced with your favorite external gear.

LED Colours

Units are available in a range of different LED colour combinations (availability depends on supply). See photos in this listing for examples.

User Manual

Voices

• 2 independent FM voices
• 2-operator FM (for old-school prince of persia vibes!)
• Multi-mode FM ratios - quantised, free-multiple, independent
• Octave selection
• Multiple operator waveforms for carrier & modulator (Sine, triangle, overdriven triangle, Saw, Square, Noise, Off)
• Exponential Attack/Decay modulation envelope per voice
• LFO per voice with multiple waveforms and selectable destination (envelope attack, decay & depth, FM ratio, note length, modulation level)

Sequencer

• 2/1.5 track polymetric sequencer with up to 16 steps per track (Both tracks use same note sequence but can have different step-counts for poly-metric rhythms)
• Multiple generative algorithms - (semi)random notes, (semi)random runs, arpeggio, drone
• Sequence mutates/evolves at user-defined rate & note-density
• Global tonic & scale (Ionian (Major), Minor (Dorian), Pentatonic, Phrygian (GOA!), Octaves, Fifths)
• Tap-tempo control
• Sync input & output (Korg Volca compatible)
• 16-step parameter-lock recording of synth parameters for track 1 (the Elektron way!)

Hardware

• Audio output (14-bit DAC)
• Sync input / output (0-5V rising-edge)
• Arduino Nano based
• 7-12V DC or USB powered
