FM low freq w/ high?

Feb 13, 2005 2 Replies

I recall reading that it is possible to frequency modulate a low frequency with a higher one, as opposed to the usual other way around.



For example, FM a 100Hz sinewave modulated by a 1KHz sinewave.



Does anyone have any idea how this would work in practice?



I generated this in CoolEdit (audio waveform editor) and it does not look like a normal FM signal, of course. The high frequency just rides upon the lower one as a superimposed AM.



Is that all there is to it?

Hi,

You have just re-invented FM systhesis (Yamaha DX series).

Also used in many ancient PC sound cards as synthesizer.
