GForce Halogen FM

GForce Software Ltd. announces the release of Halogen FM, a fresh take on frequency modulation synthesis that strips away the complexity while retaining all the character, depth, and unpredictability that makes FM special. For decades, FM synthesis has been beloved for its expressive power - but just as often avoided for its notoriously technical and unintuitive programming. Halogen FM changes that by making FM fun, fast, and creatively rewarding.

At the core of Halogen FM is the Halogen Spark Engine - a generative sound source that produces unique, musical patches at the press of a button. Simply hit the Spark button to instantly generate a new, inspiring sound. Then, shape it using intuitive macro controls for Timbre, Envelope Generators, Modulation, and FX. Every twist brings subtle shifts or bold transformations, without the need to dive into complex programming. For those who want deeper control, Halogen also offers full access to each operator’s parameters, allowing you to fine-tune or experiment without losing creative momentum.

Halogen FM makes sculpting original sounds fast and enjoyable. Its controls are designed to respond to instinct, not instruction - creating an ideal balance between playability and depth. Whether you’re crafting soft pads, sharp plucks, or evolving textures, Halogen FM helps you stay in the creative flow.
