For best results view at 1080p60fps. Here's the second episode of my Deflemask Genesis music tutorial series. This time around I tacklet the menus, hexadecimal numbers and FM synthesis. I show you how to make a few instruments and give you a cheat sheet to make some instruments by category. If you didn't watch the primer or part of the series yet, do that first or you'll be lost here! Links below.

Oh, and I've got 10 more copies of the current, paid version of Deflemask to give away!
