Places to learn about creating FM sounds on the virus?

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

Ive just recently bought a DX7 MKII FD....been wanting to delve into FM synthesis for some time. No analog (beit virtual or true) does FM like the DX does....

Many people say the DX7 was a bitch to program. I now understand why......there are just so many paramters. You have 6 operators, each of which can be assigned 8 envelope generators and 8 pitch generators.....woohooo headf*$&!! Depending on what algorithm you choose (of which there are 32) the 6 operators are set up in very different ways....and accordingly their behaviour changes. Then you have all of the various modulations, velocities.....not to mention tuning of each operator. Wow.....its a sadists programming dream come true!!

There I was thinking the Virus was flexible (and it is) but the DX7 is in another leage thx to its 8 stage pitch EG's etc etc. Amazing.

The DX7 MKII has a wonderful key action too. You cant go wrong.
