MIDIbox FM utilizies the Yamaha YMF262 sound chip (also known as OPL3) for generating the famous FM sounds known from Soundblaster (compatible) soundcards of the early 90s. In addition to the OPL3 specific features (6 four-operator voices, 5 percussion instruments) some software implemented modulation sources have been added to allow more expressive and very experimental sound creations.
Sound Architecture
A single operator provides:
8 different waveforms
an adjustable output level with 6-bit resolution which affects the output amplitude (carrier) or the modulation index (modulator)
a frequency multiplier with 4-bit resolution
a simple envelope generator (ADSR), each parameter with 4-bit resolution. Sustain phase can be omitted
key scaling (0 db/oct, 1.5dB/oct, 3.0dB/oct, 6.0dB/oct)
envelope scaling (higher notes are shorter then lower notes)
Vibrato and Tremolo (fixed frequency)
Feedback with 3-bit resolution (only the first OP)
A single voice consists of 4 operators and provides:
only a single pitch for all 4 operators (frequency detuning between the operators of one voice not possible)
4 different OP connection modes (algorithms)
2 software implemented LFOs which can be assigned to the operator volumes and to the pitch
1 software implemented envelope generator which can be assigned to the operator volumes and to the pitch
A single instrument can control one or more voices (up to 6), it provides:
mono/legato/poly play mode
automatic voice assignment (longest note will be killed first)
adjustable pitch bender range and finetune
portamento (optionally with "Sus-Key" playing behaviour)
Velocity can be assigned to any CC sound parameter
Modulation Wheel can be assigned to any CC sound parameter
Aftertouch can be assigned to any CC sound parameter
A 32-step wavetable sequencer with up to 500 Hz play rate which can be assigned to 3 CC sound parameters
LFOs/EG5/WT sequencer can be synchronized to MIDI clock
A LFO provides:
5 waveforms
rate from 0.032 Hz to 45 Hz
key sync and start phase (0°-360°)
the LFO signal can control: the pitch depth of a voice, the four operator volumes, the frequency of the co-LFO, the amplitude of an AOUT (CV) output
separate depth parameters for all modulation targets
The EG5 provides:
an attack-decay1-decay2-sustain-release curve (7 parameters). Rates from 2 mS to 27 seconds
an assignable non-linear curve function for attack/decay/release
the EG5 signal can control: the pitch depth of a voice, the four operator volumes, the frequency of LFO1, the amplitude of a CV output
separate depth parameters for all modulation targets
The wavetable sequencer provides:
3 assignable CC parameters
32 steps
absolute (0-127) or relative (-64..63) control
3 play modes (note, note step, freerunning)
frequency rate from 2 Hz..500 Hz
An ensemble consists of 4 instruments and provides:
the patch and bank number (8 * 128 patches can be stored in 8 BankSticks)
a separate MIDI channel for each instrument
keyboard split zone
overall volume
velocity curve (Flat/Hard/Soft
Semitones Transpose function
Unisono function (allocates two detuned voices)
separate routing of the OP1/2 and OP3/4 outputs to the 4 audio channels
The separate percussion channel provides:
2-OP Bass Drum
1-OP Snare
1-OP Tom
1-OP HiHat (open and closed)
1-OP Cymbal
Adjustable frequencies (BD: independent, Tom/HiHat/Cymbal: coupled)
separate keyboard zones for each drum
Additional features
realtime editing of all sound parameters via CC, SysEx or control surface
control surface with 2x40 LCD, 5 rotary encoders, 24 buttons, 34 LEDs (see also the MIDIbox FM manual)
each BankStick can store 128 sound patches, 16 drumsets and 32 ensembles.
up to 8 BankSticks can be connected
8 optional CV outputs which can be assigned to the LFOs and EG5s for controlling analog filters, VCAs, effects, etc...

Some digital oscillators have an option to modulate the momentary phase position of the waveform instead of the actual frequency parameter, which can be imagined like shifting the waveform forwards and backwards in time. E.g. on the DX7 it is in fact the waveform phase position that is modulated and not the linear frequency parameter. The main difference is that phase modulation does not detune the basic pitch of the oscillator when the oscillator is modulating itself. If this 'selfmodulation' is instead applied on a true linear frequency modulation input (like on an analog oscillator) it will in fact severely detune the oscillator.
