I downloaded King of FM after hearing lots of great reviews about it and during the King’s coronation lol!!

It’s a beautiful synth, I decided to hook it up to my Arturia kit, the Keystep Pro and Minifuse 4 to get a real feel for it. However it works fabulously with various sequencing tools such as Riffer and many others. I’ve created a few short videos/audio clips demonstrating some different ways you could create little musical pieces with King of FM at the heart of each recording.

DX7 IID was my first synth growing up but sadly don't have any longer. Good to be able to reconnect to all those sounds.

Also it is impressive these are all hand recorded samples. I just downloaded as well yesterday but have not had a chance to play around. I tried out FM v2 a while back but started using Dexed and Arturia DX7 V and am not doing as much iOS music making. Will be curious to hear how it sounds compared to those two VSTs.
