Vintage DK Synergy Synthesizer software
via this auction"**In order to use this software you will need a vintage Kaypro computer (Kaypro 1, 2, II, 2x, 4, 4x, and 10) and a working Synergy II or Synergy II+. You can tell a Synergy II from a first generation Synergy because a Synergy II has a 25 pin serial port on the back of it.** If you own a DK Synergy II or plan on owning a Synergy II then this is an essential purchase.
Up for grabs is 16 5.25" floppy disks for the DK Synergy. This is ALL of the software that you need to have complete control over your Synergy, plus over 500 original voices for your Synergy. With this software you will be able to fully program your own sounds from scratch plus tweak the over 500 sounds that are included in the voice library. Also included in the auction is a hard copy of the Synergy manual and the manual for using your Synergy with a Kaypro. I have also included lots of other goodies like original price lists, cartridge order forms, and letters to prospective customers. There is doodling and underlining in the manual but nothing that obscures the text. The manual is printed on heavy card stock so there is no chance of tearing and it will last a lifetime. 
This package includes the following: one hard copy of the original and most up to date Synergy manual, Preliminary Operation of the Synergy II+ with Computer manual, Vcarts 1-6 (on six disks), Synergy Voice Libraries 1-13 (on seven disks), All three versions of Synergy Host Control, and Wendy Carlos libraries 1 & 2.

Not bad I suppose. Could be better..."
Grokking the FS1R: Part 1- The FS1R Spectral waveforms
YouTube Uploaded by NoisyLittleBugger on Mar 16, 2011
"WARNING - This video contains loud audio . Even though a limiter was placed on the output, the nature of FM means that noise peaks are inevitable when experimenting. You have been warned!
If you don't know what FS1R or FM synthesis are then there's no point in watching. Really.
Part 1: A quick look at the FS1R waveforms and their basic shaping parameters .
Apologies for the background hiss - attempting to eliminate. In any case, Youtube audio cannot do justice to the output of this fabulous device.
Software used:
FS1R editor - http://synth-voice.sakura.ne.jp/fs1r_editor_english.html
Reaper - http://www.reaper.fm/

Grok: "to understand intuitively or by empathy; to establish rapport with" and "to empathise or communicate sympathetically (with); also, to experience enjoyment.""
