Welcome! I think Windows may have been the first computing experience for more of us :). It is the first thing I can actively remember, at least.

This is kind of a recent reboot of that with some improvements, although...

Wow! I didn't know the Commander X16 is capable of FM. I played around a lot with software synths over the years. FM is definitely one of the more interesting approaches to synthesis, if you ask me. There are so many directions you can take it in.
