Born from the acclaimed Eurorack Mod FM module unveiled at Superbooth 2021, this desktop version brings hands-on FM synthesis to your rig without the modular hassle—perfect for dialing in punchy, evolving tones right on your desk.
At its core, each of its 8 polyphonic voices packs 4 digital FM operators with 26 DX9-inspired algorithms and a 4x4 encoder matrix for intuitive programming, plus 2 multi-wave LFOs/VCOs per voice for FM/AM depth. Analog warmth shines through SSI2140 filters (24dB lowpass or 12dB multimode lowpass/highpass/bandpass) and VCAs per voice, blended with a metal noise source and filter ADSR. A deep mod matrix routes everything, while stereo reverb and dual delays (MIDI-syncable for flanging) sweeten the mix on balanced stereo outs. It stays modular-friendly with CV/gate per voice, operator CV ins, Hi-Z stereo audio inputs, and individual voice outputs—all in a compact 318 x 180 x 72mm metal chassis with dual OLED displays, USB-C, and MIDI I/O. Store 128 presets or 118 multitimbrals, fully recalling CV amounts.
Early players on forums praise its snappy VCA envelopes and gorgeous low-end punch, calling it a dream for tactile FM tweaking—though some note the UI demands hands-on time to master, true to JoMoX's bold style.
