Free Algoritm Synth Presets

✨🎛️ Algoritm is the new FM synth par excellence by Reason Studios. It's FM, but with a twist, because operators can also be filters, sound shapers (think saturation) or even traditional / waveform oscillators. Combine up to 9 such operators and route them however you'd like and this allows to create a virtually infinite palette of sounds. From the softest of pads sounds to the nastiest screeching leads. You can check out the official page for Algoritm it here.

Algoritm is included as part of the Reason+ subscription, or it can also be purchased separately. Either way, it's meant to be used as part of the Reason Rack plugin, just like all the other instruments by Reason Studios.
