About FM Lab

Steinberg FM Lab is an FM synthesizer library for HALion 7 and HALion Sonic 7, designed for producers and sound designers exploring classic digital tones and contemporary synthesis.

• An algorithm designer lets you create custom operator configurations or select preset algorithms.
• Freehand multi-stage envelopes provide detailed control over pitch, filter and amplitude.
• Support for DX7 and TX81Z SYX files lets you explore existing hardware patches.
• Twenty effects in a five-insert rack, modulation options and an arpeggiator support evolving sounds.

FM Lab brings classic FM programming and modern sound-shaping tools into a HALion-based production workflow.
