Okay. I'm going to base it off of OpulenZ, since that's a two-operator FM
synth.
Obviously, being new to LMMS dev and C++ I will need some assistance from
anybody willing who has a better idea of what they're doing than me.
And as far as existing synths' growls in LMMS, Zyn does an okay job but
nothing like what this will make.
