Six Sines is a small synthesizer which explores audio rate inter-modulation of signals. Some folks would call it "an FM synth" but it's really a bit more PM/AM, and anyway that's kinda not the point. At the end of 2024, I was in a bit of a slump dev-wise for a variety of reasons and wanted a small project to sort of jump-start me for 2025. I had watched Newfangled Dan ship obliterate from idea to loved plugin in November, and I thought hey can I do the same in December

As I wrapped up 2024, I also wanted to take account of how well our project to factor code into libraries went and make a sort of todo-list of why it was hard to build a synth. This includes some insights into the sst- libraries and the clap-wrapper

Another indie audio dev, who asked to not be named here in case this sucks, which it doesn't I dont think, said to a group of users in a discord in an offhand way something like "the least commercially viable thing is a 6 op full matrix pure FM synth". So my response was 1. implement one, 2. give it away, 3 ???, 4. you know the meme.

It seemed fun, and I thought some people would download it.

It had been in my head for a while and I wanted to hear how it sounded
