FB-60 in brief
- What it is
- A free polysynth: one oscillator with sub and noise, an envelope, a modulation section and an arpeggiator.
- What it does
- Adds 3 effect slots after the chorus, from tape wobble and rotary to a bitcrusher.
- What it sounds like
- 1980s pop and synth-wave chords, simple leads, and pads that widen with the chorus.
How it is built
FB-60 follows a 1982-style polysynth: one oscillator with sub and noise, a filter, an envelope and a modulation section on a single panel. The chorus has settings I, II and both together. After it come 3 extra effect slots. Each holds an ensemble, phaser, flanger, tremolo or auto-pan, rotary, tape wobble, bitcrusher or tilt EQ. A multi-head delay and a plate reverb follow. Glide, an arpeggiator, velocity, aftertouch and the mod wheel shape the playing.
The chorus comes in 3 widths
Chorus I, II and both together give 3 different widths. Try each on a chord that already sits beside the vocal or guitar. The 3 extra slots hold other effects, not more choruses.
