LinPlug has released Octopus, a Dual-Matrix synthesizer containing one Matrix for Oscillator/Filter frequency modulation synthesis and another Matrix for general modulation. The key component for building a sound is the instrument's 8 oscillators, Sampler, 2 filters and 32 envelopes. These components are all you need to create anything from classic "old school" FM timbres to complex sounds far beyond those possible with conventional FM synthesis.
Octopus (VST/Audio Units) costs $149.
