Yamaha FS1R Comes to Software with FSVR Emulator

via musica.studio

ALL 88 ALGORITHMS
Every FM algorithm from the hardware, with the voiced and unvoiced operators the FS1R is known for.

THE FACTORY BANKS BUILT IN
1408 voices [patches], 384 performances and 90 formant sequences read out of the ROM, so the patch browser needs no dump of your own.

FSEQ PLAYBACK
The formant sequences that made the FS1R sound like nothing else, with every loop mode, the start delay and MIDI clock sync.

THE FRONT PANEL IS THE GUI
Down to the cursor stops and the controller set, read out of the firmware's own screen tables rather than off a photo.

VST3, CLAP AND STANDALONE
Windows, macOS and Linux, built on every push, with no installer and no dependencies.

[Digital recording] YAMAHA FS1R FM/FS Synthesizer Factory Demo Song

video upload by The RISC-V Guy

"I modified my YAMAHA FS1R to add S/PDIF digital output by my self-developed digital audio transmitter board.

This modification allows user to bypass the internal DAC of the FS1R, generates 18-bit bit-perfect PCM output, resulting a more expressive, richer sound compare to the analog output.

I believe that I'm the first one to perform a digital recording of this versatile synthesizer, in fact, this video is first uploaded to Bilibili (BV1Dw411Q7et).

This board has been open source at my GitHub, my other resources for FS1R is also published at my GitHub too, you can search 'completed-fs1r', 'fs1r_firmware_RE' in GitHub to find some useful information (I cannot post the link below because I don't use YouTube frequently).

I may upload the lossless 48kHz FLAC version on Google Drive and share it in the comment below."
