About this one

PS-DX is a two-operator FM synth. One sine (the modulator) bends the pitch of another (the carrier), so the ratio between them picks the harmonic — whole numbers ring like bells and mallets, fractions turn metallic — while the FM index sets the brightness, decaying for that classic bright-attack, mellow-tail DX character. Load a voice preset (bell, e-piano, bass or glass), then program a lead on the 16-step lane in scale degrees so it always stays in key.
