Uses FM synthesis to create a Hammond B3 organ sound. It comes from a family of FM sounds, all using 4 basic oscillators and various architectures, as used in the TX81Z synthesizer.
fmb3 takes 5 tables for initialization. The first 4 are the basic inputs and the last is the low frequency oscillator (LFO) used for vibrato. The last table should usually be a sine wave.
The initial waves should be:
ifn1 -- sine wave
ifn2 -- sine wave
ifn3 -- sine wave
ifn4 -- sine wave
kamp -- Amplitude of note.
kfreq -- Frequency of note played.
kc1, kc2 -- Controls for the synthesizer:
kc1 -- Total mod index
kc2 -- Crossfade of two modulators
Algorithm -- 4
kvdepth -- Vibrator depth
kvrate -- Vibrator rate
Here is an example of the fmb3 opcode. It uses the files fmb3.orc and fmb3.sco.
