FM Algorithms: How to read them, how to choose one (tutorial with examples)

See those charts printed onto your FM synthesizer? Those aren't hiroglyphs, they're a useful information for finding the right algorithm for the sound you have in mind. In this video, I quickly explain how to read them, what to look out for and how to pick one for the sound you want to create. (No table of contents needed today)

Some bands / artists I've been following for a long time are (among others) Massive Attack, Pink Floyd, Pet Shop Boys, Archive, A-Ha, Yes, Porcupine Tree, John Mellencamp, Jean-Michel Jarre, Metallica, Peter Gabriel and Perturbator. So my music will kind of sound like those (without ever reaching the greatness of those artists, of course). :-)
