4op FM bass with macros

I tried to create an FM bass for live jamming. It’s a simple 4 operator FM (feel free to connect them differently if you need another algorithm), with 2 LFO’s, high and low pass filter and a shaper before the filter to drive it. Also a chorus, and 2 compressors. The first for side chain, the second as a final safety in case the signal gets too hot.
But most importantly I wanted it to be playable. So instead of having to scroll each time you want to tweak some setting, I created multiple macro sliders. One of which acts as some sort of ‘control all’ as in the Elektron boxes. I hope you like it, and feel free to suggest any improvements. I had a lot of fun building it!

Update: changed Amp envelope to Flex to get exponential decay curve.

Update 2: cleaned up the interface.

    Thanks! It’s nice to have an FM sound, but the playability of a subtractive synth, right?
