The two ideas that change the instrument

Not anotherfixed-grid drum synth.

Probabil FM is built around two controls that make the sound behave like a performance: a retrigger lane that draws the roll, and a second synth layer that gives each part another voice.

Probabil FM Retrigger Line with bounce curves
01THE RETRIGGER LINE

Program the fill — then shape how it falls apart.

Retrigger Line turns one step into a playable roll with its own length, hit count, timing curve, and velocity ramp. It is the fastest way to make a fill accelerate into the next bar or decay away from it.

  • Drag horizontally to set the roll length, left or right for direction.
  • Drag vertically to set anywhere from 1 to 64 hits.
  • Choose LIN, EXP, LOG, or the dramatic B.LIN / B.EXP / B.LOG bounce curves.
Probabil FM Double Synth stereo layer controls
02DOUBLE SYNTH

Two independent voices from one part.

Switch on the second stereo layer and turn a single part into a wider, thicker instrument. Edit the left and right voices independently, spread them with WIDE, or use ALT to generate a fresh variation without losing the groove.

  • STEREO ACTIVE enables a second independent voice layer per part.
  • L and R let you shape each side separately while the pattern stays intact.
  • ALT randomises the alternate layer for instant width and movement.
From hit to pattern

One hit.Then a pattern.

Probabil FM turns FM synthesis into a playful path from a single sound to a groove that keeps changing under your hands.

01Shape the hit
Probabil FM synthesis engine

Make the first sound count.

Build punchy kicks, snares, hats, and percussion with a fast 3-operator FM engine.

02Move the pattern

Let the rhythm decide.

Use probability, division, humanize, automation, and the Retrigger Line to create grooves that keep evolving.

Why it works

Immediate sound. Endless movement.

Shape the hit

Eight independent parts, three-operator FM voices, a dedicated noise source, a second stereo layer, and per-instrument effects for punchy percussion.

Move the pattern

Set probability and division per step, then use humanize, automation, and Retrigger Line rolls to keep every pass alive.

Keep it in your DAW

Send MIDI, record stereo or individual tracks, and render WAV or AIFF stems at 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz.

Inside the instrument

Every panel has amusical job.

From the first FM transient to the final stem, the interface keeps sound design, sequencing, storage, and export in one focused instrument.

Carrier, Mod 1, and Mod 2 FM operator panels
FM ENGINE

Three operators. Zero samples.

Every part is built from Carrier, Mod 1, Mod 2, and a dedicated noise source. Ratios, feedback, envelopes, and slopes stay live and automatable.

PROBABILITY + DIVISION

The grid is only the starting point.

Give every step its own chance and subdivision count, then add humanise, independent track lengths, and automation for grooves that do not loop the same way twice.

Probabil FM sound library with saved kits and sounds
SOUND LIBRARY

Save the sounds that work.

Store individual part sounds, build kits, save patterns, and keep up to 16 complete arrangement snapshots ready to recall.

Probabil FM export pattern dialog
EFFECTS + EXPORT

Finish the sound inside the instrument.

Every part has its own effects chain, while the export page renders a full mix or aligned stems in WAV or AIFF at 44.1, 48, or 96 kHz.

What you get

A complete instrument for your next groove.
