AA1 Sem2, Wk9: FM Synthesis

Not sure if this is right. Looking at Plogue FM class example and diagram side by side, scratching head. Plogue and sound synthesis concepts clearer; got things running quickly. Noted improved understanding. Have been practicing building from scratch when I open Plogue.

Lot of new 20 - 30 second takes so I have plenty to chop and massage. Many Plogue permutations but this setup had a different feel, sound and interaction. Slow sweeps hitting hot spots here and there. Try a station-less radio receiving clear, fascinating interference. A million sounds; waves squished, squeezed, warped and mangled.

Still investigating ...
