This synthesizer patch was designed to create sci-fi sound effects in the style of 50s movies. It passes an FM signal through a cheesy allpass reverb and a formant filtering section. Envelopes control many useful parameters. Presets show how you can get a wide variety of sounds from basic signal processing. Textbook references are scattered through the plentiful comments.

The patch includes a simple recording section. I put some of the resulting sounds on Freesound (a great resource!).
