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.

FM movement.
One familiar control.

FM synthesis creates rich harmonic changes through the interaction of operators. This collection captures that changing character as wavetable frames.

Scan the table position with a knob, envelope or LFO. Move from a bell-like attack towards warmer harmonics, or linger on a texture you like.

A starting point.
Not a preset collection.

These are wavetable files, not original FM patches or complete synth presets. They do not recreate an FM instrument’s operators, envelopes or performance behaviour.

You bring the filter, modulation and effects. The table gives you a starting point, not a finished sound.

Make music with them.
Release it. Keep the royalties.

Use the collection in commercial releases, client work and personal projects. No attribution required.

You may not resell the wavetable files or repackage them into commercial soundbanks.

What’s Inside

Six ways into FM.

From familiar FM keys to less predictable feedback textures. Six sound families give you different places to start.

KEYS & E.PIANO

Keys & electric pianos

Bell-like attacks and warm sustain harmonics. Scan the frames to bring a different edge to keys and electric-piano sounds.

BASS & SYNTH

Bass & synth

Dense lower harmonics for basses with presence. Use slow scanning for weight and movement, or faster modulation for a sharper edge.

BELLS & MALLETS

Bells & mallets

Glassy tones and metallic overtones. Explore the frames for clean mallet sounds, shifting bells and stranger resonances.

PADS & STRINGS

Pads & strings

Gradually changing spectra for pads and sustained textures. A little movement in table position keeps a held chord evolving.

ORGAN & CLAV

Organ & clav

Percussive attacks and strong overtone shapes. Starting points for digital organs, clav-like parts and rhythmic keys.

EXPERIMENTAL

Feedback & textures

Rougher, feedback-rich spectra for sound design. Find a bright edge, a gritty layer or an unstable texture between the frames.

Compatibility

For the synth you already use.

Standard WAV wavetables with 2,048 samples per frame. Import them using your synth’s wavetable loader; the exact steps depend on the instrument.

Made for the Vibes

Take your wavetables
out of the laptop.

You do not need a Vibes to use the collection. But if you want to take these sounds into a standalone instrument, this is the one we build in Bad Vöslau, Austria.

Explore Vibes MD850

Bring your own tables.

Import your wavetables through VibesConnect in your browser. Then shape and play them on the instrument.

Build a different layer.

Combine FM wavetable character with samples, including SFZ multisamples. Put a sampled piano beneath a glassy FM layer.

Play a stereo instrument.

Build patches through a full stereo signal path, with up to 24 shared stereo voices and up to ten effects per synth part. Perform without a laptop.

Community

Before you download.

Is it really free?

Yes. We build the MD850 Vibes and share this collection so you can explore the sounds in your own setup. No instrument purchase is needed.

What happens when I click?

You’ll go to our existing download form. It asks three short questions and for your email before you get the collection. You are not downloading a file directly from this page.

Do I need an MD850 Vibes?

No. The pack contains standard WAV wavetables for compatible software and hardware synths, including Serum and Vital.

Are these classic FM patches?

No. They capture FM-inspired harmonic material in wavetable form. They are not patch files or exact recreations of classic hardware sounds.

Can I release music made with them?

Yes, including commercial releases and client work. No credit or royalties are required. Do not resell or commercially repackage the wavetable files.

What’s in the download?

A ZIP archive of approximately 223 MB containing 128 wavetables. Each WAV file has 256 frames of 2,048 samples, stored as 32-bit float at 44.1 kHz.
