Analogy Instruments have released FM 1984, available for £14.95.
FM 1984 captures the unmistakable precision, brilliance, and character of classic FM synthesis through meticulously multi-sampled source material, while forging a sound entirely its own. From unmistakable nods to the iconic tones that defined the early digital era to entirely new sonic territory, every waveform, every program, and every musical decision was crafted from the ground up to celebrate FM’s legacy while pushing it forward.
With 136 original programs and a meticulously sampled 1.59 GB library, FM 1984 delivers crystalline bells, expressive electric keys, shimmering pads, cutting leads, punchy basses, evolving digital textures, and unmistakable flashes of vintage ’80s character alongside fresh, modern voices.
A complete studio-quality effects section gives you the tools to shape polished, production-ready sounds without leaving the instrument. Dial in depth, movement, space, and character with an interface designed to stay out of your way and let creativity take over.
Inspired by the dawn of the digital age, FM 1984 isn’t a clone of a legendary synthesizer—it’s an original instrument built with the same spirit of innovation that defined the era.
