I've now integrated modulators, which means FM synthesis is a go!
In this simple example, one carrier and one modulator (with a 3:1 ratio and a fast decay) emulates the glassy tines of an electric piano.
```
<carrier-blam curve="0 0, 1 0.03, 0 2" release="2">
<modulator-blam curve="0 0, 1 0.03, 0 1" offset="36" gain="1000"></modulator-blam>
</carrier-blam>
```
(the "mod index" control in the video is connected with the modulator gain.)
