"Amiteque FM-01 — Hardware FM Synthesizer Module

The Amiteque FM-01 is a modern hardware FM synthesizer module built around the original Yamaha YM2164 (OPP) FM synthesis chip, the same sound engine used in the Yamaha FB-01.

Unlike software emulations, the FM-01 generates its sound using a genuine Yamaha hardware FM chip.

The FM-01 combines the characteristic sound of classic 4-operator Yamaha FM synthesis with a modern standalone design and straightforward front-panel operation.

Main features:
• Original Yamaha YM2164 (OPP) hardware FM synthesis chip
• 4-operator FM synthesis
• 8-voice polyphony
• Multitimbral operation planned
• Front-panel voice and setup controls
• 16×1 LCD display
• MIDI IN / OUT / THRU

• External 9 V DC power supply
• Designed and developed in Canada

This demo features the Amiteque FM-01 together with the Amiteque AR-110 analog drum synthesizer and other studio instruments.
