Yamaha FS1R


via this auction

"This little beast is far from your average FM synthesizer. Not only is it an eight-Operator variant, as opposed to the six- and four-Operator FM of the DX/TX lines, but it also features a new technology called Formant Shaping Synthesis. Formants are the spectral patterns making up the sounds of human speech. This allows for the creation of vocal like timbres but can also be applied in many different ways to create incredibly unique sounds that you won't find on any other synths."

"Filter - Dynamic Resonant physically modeled 12/18/24dB/oct low/band/hi pass filter (AN1x type)

Effects - 15 (Reverb), 28 (Variation), 40 (Insertion), Equalizer

Memory - 1536 Voices, 512 Performances, 96 Formant Sequences

Plenty of software for Mac & PC"
