    Ok, I know. FM synthesis is never easy. But with 8 operators there will be much more flexibility. ;-)

    I have to say that I'm getting along fine with 6 Operators due to the unisono mode, but it would be nice to have additional variation parameters for the unisono voices like LFO speed, filterfrequency spread and additional detuning in semi tones.

    it would be nice to have formant capabilities and other features that might help duplicate FS1R sounds inside FM8

    Could be that Yamaha still holds the patents for that technology. Other than that the Formant capabilitiy is more than just a simple extension, it's rather a very flexible and modulatable Operator Waveform...

    I think that Yamaha has the patent for hardware FM but not software?

    PS the patent is slipping away from Yamaha and they dont even care?
