Frustrated by your current FM synth offerings? Those looking for inspiration will be thrilled with the tracktion f.'em, an 11-operator FM synthesizer that's freely configurable, allowing musicians and sound designers to create any sound imaginable.

This hybrid, quad-timbral synthesizer can function as an FM, VA, and sample-based instrument with the added benefit of a dual multimode filter, a complex effects section, and a flexible modulation matrix.

Hybrid Quad-Timbral Synthesizer    FM, Virtual Analog, and Sample Based    Dual Multimode Filter    Complex FX Section    Highly Flexible Modulation Matrix    32-Stage Tempo-Synced Envelopes    Two 8-Step Flow LFOs    Advanced Arpeggiator    No Fixed Algorithms    Mac / Windows / Linux, AAX, AU, VST2

• 4 layers, each with 4 effect slots
• No fixed algorithms, feed any wave operator into any other wave operator forward and backward
• Wave operators feature hard sync like in analog synthesizers and offer different waveforms from sine wave over analog waves to the waves found in some classic FM synthesizers
• Two multisample operators. One can frequency modulate any of the other operators. The other multisample operator can be frequency modulated by any of the other operators
• Noise operator that can frequency modulate any other operator
• 2 filters with overdrive stage freely routable in series, inparallel, or anything inbetween
• Each operator has its own pitch and level LFO and its own pitch and level envelope
• 2 Flow LFOs with freely editable LFO shapes
• Tempo-synced loopable envelopes with up to 32 stages
• Keyboard level scaling of each operator
• Modulation matrix with up to 200 entries
• Modifier matrix with up to 32 modification algorithms
• Quick-edit panel for quick and easy adjustment of timbre and overall envelope
• Automation of most continuous parameters

An envelope is envelope, right? Not in f.'em. All envelopes include up to 32 stages that can be tempo synced. A real must-have for musicians looking for tools to create intricate rhythmic configurations—f.'em envelopes make complexity beautiful.

Say goodbye to classic boring LFOs. F.'em includes two 8-step Flow LFOs allowing 8 different waveforms to be selected and switch-modulated by any source. What's more? Each waveform can be freely drawn, unleashing a sound designers dream.

F.'em is not just one of the most powerful FM synths ever made, it's also one of the most versatile. Packing in 8 synchronizable waves, 2 sample-based instruments, and a noise operator allows for the most savage bass and ripping lead sounds, like those made with synths like the mighty Access Virus. Thanks to a freely configurable oscillator matrix, f.'em can produce FM sounds that are virtually indistinguishable from legendary instruments like the Yamaha TX81Z, the Yamaha DX7, and the lavish, 8-operator Yamaha GS1—a 200-pound synth so luxurious that only 16 units were sold.

F.'em's superpower lies within its outrageously deep modulation matrix. This creates endless possibilities allowing the user to create unique FM sounds. And if you want a change of pace and are looking for something besides pure FM synthesis, no matter how powerful? Look no further.

Not interested in diving into the multitude of available parameters? Don't worry. F.'em is immediately enjoyable and easy to use. The macros let you control all fundamental parameters. The rich multi-effect section is easily accessible and tweakable. All layers can be activated and deactivated in a snap, and the arpeggiator is an endless joy giver.

Q: 1. I have installed most of what I need on my new build. However, my old build has several apps and a fair number of drives and directories (data) to be moved. Is it possible on Laplink to chose individual programs at a time, on different drives and directories between 2 Win 10 machines? (Both 64bit) ie. a program on the C: drive of "Old Win 10" machine to the E: drive on "New Win 10" machine. And all of Drive G: on Old to a directory on Drive I: of New?

A: Not all apps will be compatible. Any apps that are not compatible would have to be moved manually.
