MEGAfm II

MEGAfm II is FM at its most physical: dual vintage chips, 12 voices, 32 operator sliders, and enough grit to move from glassy plucks to speaker-rattling bass.

Beautiful dirt

Where many FM synths feel clinical, MEGAfm leans into the unstable, saturated character of original Sega-era silicon. The result is a sound that can turn sharp, glossy, broken, or huge without losing its identity.

The front panel is the real difference. Instead of menu diving, you get direct access to the engine with a dense field of sliders, knobs, and buttons that invites experimentation.

Immediate control over a deep engine

Shape operators in real time, push modulation hard, randomize presets, and move quickly between precise programming and chaos. MEGAfm II feels less like editing FM and more like performing it.
