FM Drum Machine

Using Max

I’ve been learning Max and have started building an FM drum machine. This is a 4 part kit with polyphony in each part. It uses the function modules in Max because I really like multi break point editing and it can give quite detailed tonal variation over each trigger.

  • 4 part kit
  • Polyphonic
  • Max for Live patch
  • Sine wave operators
  • Pitch modulation on Carrier and Modulator
  • MIDI triggers starting on 60
