Operator

Ableton

Operator is an advanced FM synthesizer that combines frequency modulation with subtractive and additive synthesis using four multi-waveform oscillators. Each oscillator can modulate others to create complex timbres, supported by a filter section, LFO, and comprehensive envelope controls. It excels at both classic FM sounds and experimental textures through its eleven predefined algorithms and extensive modulation routing.
