The filters are a bit different in that they are very steep (90dB slope) 0-phase filters which operate directly on the waveform. The oscillator section has a carrier and modulator oscillator, with tune, envelope, filter, and mix controls for each. The Nemesis interface, similar in style to the RayBlaster, Saurus & ElectraX synths. You can use your own samples as waveforms as well, and editing of waveforms is easy with the additive spectral editor.
Nemesis features 22 synthesis types that can be combined in 2 oscillators to expand traditional FM synthesis with other methods like additive, wavetables, phase distortion, formant, waveshaping, sync and reso synthesis, and more. The innovative neoFM approach, exclusive to Nemesis, combines only the advantages of both types of synthesis without suffering from any of the weaknesses associated with PM or ‘Real analog FM’ synthesis. ‘Real analog FM’ suffers from drift and lacks precision, resulting in a disharmonic sound, which is musically not very useful. Classic waveforms like a sawtooth do not work well with it because they result in an unpleasant, sharp and excessively metallic sound. However, the traditional PM approach is limited to using dark sounding waveforms like sinoids or triangles, which results in a dull or bell-like sound. Most conventional FM synths such as the DX7, use phase modulation (PM) instead of genuine FM synthesis, yet such synths are branded as FM synthesizers for marketing reasons.
Tone2’s latest synthesizer instrument Nemesis aims to take FM synthesis to the next level with NeoFM, which offers a “genuine FM synthesis” approach.
