Gear & Plugins Spotlight — U-He MFM2 (Modular FM Synth)
What Makes MFM2 Worth Your Time:
  • Fully modular FM + sample playback engineYou can connect oscillators, envelopes, and filters however you want—building uniquely expressive sounds from the ground up.
  • Deep sonic characterFM synthesis isn’t dry— with MFM2 you can dial in gritty basses, complex pads, evolving textures, and unexpected harmonic motion.
  • Vintage flavor with modern controlIt has that experimental, off-the-grid sound designers love, while giving you visual patching and modulation shapes that are intuitive.
  • Completely freeNo licensing costs—just download, patch, and start designing.
How I’d Use It:
  • Bass design: Create thick sub-bass tones that morph into mid-range growl when triggered—perfect for genre-bending hybrid tracks.
  • Atmospheres: Build evolving pads and drones by modulating FM parameters over time—great for intros or cinematic textures.
  • Unique lead sounds: Cook up leads with character—you won’t find them in presets, and they’ll sound “you.”
Your Move:
  • Looking for a challenge? Try recreating one of your favorite vintage synth tones using FM techniques in MFM2—share how it turned out!
I'm not a huge FM Synth fan but this one was fun to play with!
