FM Legacy Collection

128 FM-inspired wavetables for the MD850 Vibes and any other wavetable synthesizer. The harmonic character of classic 1980s FM synthesis, captured as raw material for modern sound design.
This is our gift to the synthesizer community. We took the legendary FM sound palette and extracted the harmonic DNA that made those tones iconic. Each wavetable preserves the overtone evolution, the metallic shimmer, and the spectral complexity of FM synthesis. What you build from them is yours.

Six Categories. Recorded on the MD850 Vibes.

Each snippet demonstrates the wavetables running through the Vibes engine. What you hear is what the wavetables sound like with real filters, modulation, and effects applied.

What This Is

Wavetables extracted from FM synthesis character. Harmonic patterns, overtone evolutions, and spectral fingerprints of classic 1980s FM synthesis, captured and formatted as standard wavetable files. Raw material for your own sound design.

What This Is Not

These are not 1:1 recreations of any classic hardware. The original FM patches were analyzed and their harmonic content extracted into wavetable format. The character is there. The exact patches are not. What you build from them will be your own sound.
Royalty-free. Use in commercial releases. No attribution required.
Use these wavetables in any project, on any platform, in any genre. Sell the tracks. License them to clients. No royalties, no credits, no restrictions. The sounds you make are yours.
What’s Inside

FM-DNA as Raw Material. Wavetable as Your Playground.

Each category captures a different facet of FM synthesis character. The harmonic fingerprints are real. What you sculpt from them is new.
KEYS & E.PIANO

FM Rhodes Collection

Bell-like, metallic, complex overtone structures. These wavetables capture the crystalline character of FM key sounds. Scan through frames to morph between attack transients and sustain harmonics.
BASS & SYNTH

FM Bass Engine

Harmonically dense waveforms with rich lower-overtone movement. FM bass patches produce spectral content that subtractive synthesis cannot replicate. Thick, present, and full of motion.
BELLS & MALLETS

Crystal Bells

Inharmonic FM spectra from bell and mallet algorithms. Overtone ratios shift as you scan through frames. From glass-like purity to detuned metallic complexity.
PADS & STRINGS

FM Atmospheres

Spectral evolutions for textures with distinctly FM organic complexity. Slowly morphing harmonic content that adds depth and movement to any pad patch.
ORGAN & CLAV

Digital Organ Set

Percussive FM algorithms with strong overtone movement in the attack phase. The tonal character of drawbar organs and clavinets captured as scannable wavetable material.
EXPERIMENTAL

Feedback Textures

High-feedback metallic textures from subtle harmonic saturation to chaotic spectral destruction. Sound design material that no subtractive oscillator can produce.
Compatibility

Works with Any Wavetable Synthesizer.

Standard 2048-sample WAV format. Drop them into any synth that reads wavetable files.

Made for the Vibes

Why These Run Best on the MD850.

The FM Legacy Collection works in any wavetable synth. But on the Vibes, you get three things no plugin offers:

Drag and Drop

Open VibesConnect in your browser. Drag the wavetable files onto the screen. Done. No file conversion, no reformatting, no SD card juggling.

Layer with Multisamples

Combine FM wavetables with the Resonator oscillator and SFZ multisamples. Layer real piano samples under FM bell tones. Not possible in a single plugin.

True Stereo. No Laptop.

Full stereo signal path from oscillator through 10 effect slots. 24 voices. Play the wavetables on stage with three USB controllers and no computer in the chain.
