EFM1 overview

The 16-voice EFM1 is a simple but powerful frequency modulation synthesizer. It can produce

the rich bell and digital sounds that frequency modulation (FM) synthesis has become

synonymous with.

If you’re new to synthesizers, see Synthesizer basics overview on page 472, which will introduce

you to the terminology and give you an overview of various synthesis systems and how

they work.
