anyFM is an effect that fm-modulates a sidechained signal onto a carrier signal.

For that, it naturally must be placed on a mixer track that has another track routed to it via sidechain.

You’ll thus need two sounds, the track anyFM is inserted on acts as the carrier and the sidechained track is used as the FM modulator.

The controls are mostly self-explanatory:

Modulation Rate controls the FM depth/strength,

the remaining knobs handle volume balance.

In addition to FM, you can also switch to Ring Modulation.

IMPORTANT!!!

Make sure your routing is set up correctly.

Incorrect routing can result in unintended behavior, most prominently self-FM, where you in fact modulate the carrier with itself and not with the sidechain.

FOR ACTUAL FM OF THE SIDECHAIN INPUT AS MODULATOR, YOU MUST SET THE INPUTS LIKE THIS, AS EXPLAINED FOR FL STUDIO (I also include a video for these steps in the download):

Insert anyFM on a mixer track.

Route another mixer track to this track and set it to Sidechain:

At the bottom of the mixer, select the track you want to use as the modulator.

Click the small upward arrow to sidechain it.

Turn the send volume down to 0 for a pure sidechain signal.

(Optional) Unlink the sidechain track from the Master to make it behave like a true FM modulator, similar to an FM synth.

THEN, THIS IS THE IMPORTANT PART TO MAKE IT WORK: Open the plugin wrapper settings (the cog icon above the plugin GUI), go to Processing, and click Auto map inputs.

Now anyFM is live and waits for sound input on both channels.

Hope it works well! Have fun with it!
