Pivot
No-nonsense FM Synth

Pivot is an FM synth with three operators, one morphing filter and zero algorithms, designed to be straightforward and joyous to use. Years of research, development and deep love of FM synthesis has gone into picking just the right balance of flexibility and simplicity.

It marks another milestone in a long journey of making FM synthesizers that deviate from the norm. Much like its predecessors, it does not aim to replicate or succeed anything but to explore FM in a slightly different way.

Lagom
In Swedish, this means 'just right', and it's exactly how we feel about 3OP FM. It's a great balance of being able to make complex timbres while being quick to program.

Zero algorithms
Instead of choosing between a range of pre-defined algorithms, Pivot lets you continuously route the top modulator's output between the other pair. This makes sound design a truly explorable process where you don't have to make any decisions up front.

Best of both worlds
With a resonant 4-pole morphing filter, Pivot lets you carve out frequencies in an intuitive way that feels right at home. Smoothly mixing between Lowpass, Bandpass and Highpass brings a flair that perfectly pairs with the most extreme of FM tones.

Matrix modulation
Modulate the FM controls to your heart's content with 2 LFOs and 2 ADSR envelopes in a flexible mod matrix routing with up to 6 destinations at once.

... and yes, you can change the color theme.

To sum it up

3-Operator FM
4-pole resonant morphing filter

Two-voice Unison

Up to 16 voice polyphony

With product from FORS as m4l device, PIVOT can be compared?

I built myself a new computer because of FORS Opal & Dyad. LIVE & m4l, especially the FORS stuff, is a dream for me. If Ableton would release a newer PUSH or, for example, PUSH 4 Standalone in a smaller form factor and, of course, more SOC (CPU) power, it would be great.

I love Pop & lux they are such a joy to use. Pivot has the same qualities & was an immediate purchase. I agree about a smaller push stand alone, something between a move & a push 3 would be awesome.

Got this the other day (good value synth) great fun, really good for percussion or tonal sounds, not having built-in effects other than distortion and stereo widener encourages you to mix and match from your own effects collection

Like someone here said, it does no more and no less, its really is a zero bullshit synth and it quickly turned into one of my fav fm synths of all time. No DRM, no bullshit, just pure fun :)

No issues so far on Win 10/Reaper 7. Buy if you can support Fors, they did a fine job here.
be kind :)
