10k+ plugins and counting. It's free.



Exakt is a user-friendly FM synthesizer plugin designed to make the complex world of FM synthesis more approachable and enjoyable. Emulating classic FM architecture, it features four operators that can be arranged across multiple algorithms, each offering a selection of traditional waveforms like sine, saw, square, and triangle. In addition to the standard eight waveforms inspired by vintage Yamaha TX81Z synths, Exakt includes four enhanced waveforms, expanding creative possibilities for sound design.
Each operator in Exakt comes equipped with an amplitude envelope generator modeled after the characteristic five-point envelopes of the TX series, with the ability to add up to sixteen points for highly detailed, loopable envelope shapes. The plugin also features a flexible modulation matrix, allowing users to easily route modulations for dynamic sound sculpting. Additional effects such as a lush chorus, gritty distortion, and stereo delay further enhance the sonic palette, making it suitable for a wide range of musical styles and genres.
One of Exakt's standout features is its real-time waveform display that visually responds to parameter adjustments, providing immediate feedback when altering operator levels, ratios, or algorithms. This interactive visualization helps users craft precise sounds by making the FM synthesis process less unpredictable. Compatible with Windows and Mac systems, Exakt also offers extensive preset libraries and supports high-quality polyphony, making it a powerful tool for both beginners and experienced producers seeking classic FM tones with modern ease.
