    Hi

    Is there a way to use FM8 as an audio channel FX instead as an instrument?
    in a way it emulates FM synthesis over the channel it's on?

    - The channel will function as the carrier.
    - the side-chain channel which feeds the plugin will function as the FM modulator.

    Is there anything like that?

    Regards,
    Bool.

    Easy, use the FM8 FX plug in on a group or sound level.

    I tried that but couldn't manage to make it work:

    1. Once I put it on my audio channel, the channel was muted. (plugin was with init preset)
    2. There is no side chain functionality for this plugin,
    so how could you possibly feed the plugin with a second source as the FM modulator..?!

    Made it work. Wasn't too intuitive, but thanks to YouTube....
    Sounds exactly as I was imagining it.
    Thanks!
