OpZilla FM Synthesizer
OpZilla FM Synthesizer
A Monster of an FM Synthesizer
Meet OpZilla. An FM synthesizer that towers over the competition. Let’s start with its 64 4-operator algorithms and 16 waveforms per operator. This alone yields a huge variety of sonic possibilities for your music. But we didn’t stop there. Loopable envelopes, built-in effects, and sampled attacks add to its sonic bite. It’s a beast of an FM synth, but don’t worry, we’ve included factory presets from some of the industry’s best FM programmers so all you have to do is load it up, select your sound, and start playing.
The Sounds
OpZilla delivers your beloved FM basses, pearly FM pianos and pristine FM bells in abundance. But that alone wouldn’t make it the king of the urban jungle. So we took advantage of OpZilla’s unique features to give you over 150 fully editable sounds in 10 categories. Sounds you won’t find anywhere else. And sounds that fit any style of music from dance, electronic, hip hop, rock, pop and anything in between. Get a free trial here and hear for yourself!
Rising above the competition
Great sounds help make great music and can take a production from ok to sounding great! Let OpZilla take your music to the next level. To help you do this we’ve added some features you won’t find in other FM synths on the market.
Feature rich yet simple to use
OpZilla’s single screen layout and quick select buttons makes sound design fun and rewarding.
FM Operators
OpZilla’s 4 highly configurable operators define the genesis of your sound with detailed pitch, filter and amplitude control.
Algorithms
Combining your operators into any of 64 algorithms, with control over feedback and FM amounts, yields a virtually unlimited variety of sound timbres.
LFO Control
Further shape your sounds using OpZilla’s two low frequency oscillators available per voice, global, synced to your DAW tempo, or independently timed.
Effects
Add distortion, chorus, delay or reverb effects, alone or in combination, lets you set your sound perfectly in your music mix.
Playability
How you play your sounds is up to you. Mono or poly modes, sampled attacks for additional punch and character, and exacting control over your pitch and modwheels.

Sampled Attacks
You can add a sampled attack to your sound. Browse attack samples with the arrows. Click the name to expand the drop-down menu. The knobs allow for setting the volume level of the added sample attack, its response to velocity and its pitch. The Key Tracking button makes the sample track the keyboard (when OFF the pitch of the sampled attack will be constant).
Distortion Effect
Chorus Effect
Delay Effect
Reverb Effect
Add space to your sound with the Reverb effect. Click the button to enable the effect. Dry/Wet controls the mix of the effect. Pre-delay is the initial delay between the direct sound and start of the reverb. Decay controls the length of the delay tail (bigger or smaller space) and Damp sets the brightness of the reverb.

FM Settings
Algorithm selection - select the routing configuration for the 4 operators.
Feedback - amount of the signal being fed back into the operator with the feedback path selected (self modulation) - increases the amount of harmonics generated by the operator.
FM Amount - allows for scaling all FM amounts in the patch and thus, the level of partials generated (richer sound).

Operator Level
Set the level of the operator. If the operator is directly audible (carrier), which happens when the operator is in the bottom row of the selected FM algorithm, this will set the volume level of the operator.
When the operator is a modulator (when it's signal is routed into another operator) it controls the level of the FM modulation performed by this operator, creating side-band partials as a result (richer sound produced by the operator being modulated).

Operator Keyboard Control
The top two knobs Level and Decay set the amount at which note position on the keyboard (how high or low you play - also called keytrack) influences operator level and envelope decay time. This is useful for balancing your patches across the keyboard.
The bottom two knobs Vel and Attack set the amount at which velocity (dynamics of your playing) influence operator level and envelope attack time (softer playing makes the operator fade-in slower).
