GForce Software has announced a fresh take on frequency modulation synthesis that strips away the complexity while retaining all the character, depth, and unpredictability that makes FM special.
Instead of diving into confusing algorithms or endless parameters, Halogen FM invites you to discover sound through play.
At the heart of Halogen FM is the Halogen Spark core — a powerful engine that generates unique, musical sounds full of character and spontaneity. Just hit the global Spark button and a brand-new patch comes to life instantly. Refining your discovery is easy, simply tweak the macro controls to explore subtle shifts and surprising variations.
Halogen is designed to be intuitive — no programming required. But we also know that sometimes, you want to go deeper. That’s why each operator’s parameters are fully accessible, giving you detailed control when you need it — without ever standing in your way when you don’t.
