as i dont have the suite version of live what good alternatives are there to operator?
Audio Midi have a no-brainer deal on Big Tick Rhino - normally 99, now 20 bucks.
Its an Audio Midi edition, so its probably a few features lite.
Its FM & has 6 operators - I think… Not sure what the whole tweakability is…

Maybe check a demo first. Think I’ll pick it up.
Nnnniiiiiiiicceee
I’m getting into FM8 bigtime. But that comes with NI Komplete… so it ain’t free.

strictly speaking Operator is not an FM synth, Its a Hybrid combining classic analog sound (Subtractive) and frequency modulation (FM) into one synth so to cover everything that Operator could do you’d need a Hybrid synth. The best free Hybrid synth would be Crystal by Green Oak
