Is this additive synthesis?

I'm creating a very basic synthesizer in purr data. I start with a fundamental frequency, and send that frequency to a "phasor" object which creates a sawtooth wave at that frequency. By clipping the range of two such waves and then adding them…

Deep noise by FM synthesis

Is it possible to create a deep (eg. lower frequencies only) noise by the means of basic FM synthesis (like Yamahas DX system)? The usual procedure for noise is to raise the modulating operators output (and / or feedback) to a certain level where…
