FM Lab
In the early 1980s, FM synthesis changed the sound of popular music forever. Now, with FM Lab for HALion, you can design FM sounds with an ultra-modern, intuitive user interface. Featuring classic eight-operator FM synthesis, a vast array of modulators, pristine effects, a powerful arpeggiator, and the possibility of drawing multi-stage envelopes freehand, FM Lab adds a new dimension to digital synthesis.
Synth Page
The Synth page provides an overview of the most important parameters. It is divided into an upper and a lower section.
User Envelope Section
This section provides an additional user envelope. The Modulation section on the right allows you to use the envelope as the modulation source and set up the modulation parameters.

User Envelope Section

This section provides an additional user envelope. The Modulation section on the right allows you to use the envelope as the modulation source and set up the modulation parameters.

Init Level sets the initial level.
Attack sets the attack time.
Attack Level sets the attack level.
Decay sets the decay time.
Sustain sets the sustain level.
Release sets the release time.
Release Level sets the release level.
Velocity determines how much the envelope intensity depends on the velocity.

If this fader is set to 0, the envelope is fully applied. Higher values reduce the intensity for lower velocities.

Modulation

In the Modulation section on the right, you can set up a modulation assignment using the user envelope as the modulation source. To show all available parameters, click Open Modulation Assignment Editor .

The parameters are the same as in the modulation matrix.
