[music-dsp] FM Synthesis

[Risto Holopainen]

So, what you have mistakenly implemented is probably feedback FM with pure
delay, or something like

x[n] = sin(phi + bx[n-D])
phi += w,

where D is your buffer size. Although it usually doesn't sound very good,
I nevertheless find it interesting by being a discrete time version of a
delay differential equation.
But I don't see why FM should be very expensive even if you put everything
in a single loop, unless you plan to use dozens of oscillators.
