via the listing: "Minor blemishes associated with normal use of a vintage keyboard. Has the larger 120 patch memory. I've been through the service manual. I've read the notes on performance and adjustment and this keyboard seems to operate within the parameters defined in the service manual. It sounds really good.. The service manual talks about temperature a great deal and performance and warm up time can have a lot to do with how hot or cold it is in your room. The studio that this item has been in since i got it is in a basement room. It stays at a very consistent 70 degrees with perfect humidity for storage. When i turn this prophet on it takes 10 seconds or so to tune itself and then goes into patch memory just like it should. I usually give it 30-45 minutes to warm up fully, and this thing sounds amazing. It tunes exactly to "A" 440hrz per the pitch reference button on the prophet and my peterson 490st strobe tuner. It also plays up and down the keyboard in tune and seems to have no problem retuning itself when needed. The pots are very clean and have good action. This item has the midi as a revision 3.2 should have. The previous owner stated that he had the keyboard re-bushed and leveled slightly. It plays very well and has no dry bushings or sticky notes.
The led lights flicker a little bit when played. This is sometimes perceived as a problem, but it's not. It actually happens on all revision 3.2 and 3.3 models. l read in the service manual that this is common for revision 3.2 because of the integrated circuit chips that were used for some of the control surfaces. The chip that controls the led display and button assemblies operates at the same frequency as the one that controls the gates on the keyboard. This means when you play the keyboard the led displays flicker slightly, not a big deal. It's within normal operation per the service manual for that to happen..."

100 Yamaha FS1R Sounds - Demo Videos

100 FS1R Sounds - part 1

Uploaded on Jul 19, 2010 stickyfox

2nd video below.

"I couldn't find a decent demo of the FS1R on here, so I figured I'd run through the sounds. These are the factory voices with no additional processing. My original intent was to do a voice-over as well, but you may have wanted to hear the sounds (go figure), and not my Ben Stein-esque drone of opinions of each sound, so I will put that in the annotations layer instead, where you can turn it off if you like.

The FS1R is an eight-operator FM synth, Yamaha's only as far as I know. The number of algorithms is increased to 88, and it retains compatibility with the DX7. Additionally, the "formant shaping" engine allows very intricate control of
the complex FM spectrum. It works something like a vocoder or a parametric EQ with knob automation. You can hear it in the "talking" voices.

When Tom Oberheim was showing off the reissued SEM, he surprised me when he qualified his demo with, "I'm not a keyboard player." Well, I'm not a -good- keyboard player. I design, repair, and modify synths. When I play, it is usually for my own enjoyment. But I will do the best I can to give you an idea of what this module sounds like in qualified hands.

There are 512 performances on this synth. I ran through them as fast as I could and managed to get about 50 into a ten-minute clip. Despite my expedient approach I still needed to clip out some of the silent parts to fit it into two videos, so you'll notice some jumpy editing.

The internal bank is about the least exciting one, so I think I'll do another video of the preset bank, but in a slightly different format to get the best parts into ten minutes.

Shouts out to Jexus and Dr. Squ; the inspiration for this project. Next time I promise more disturbing and/or off-beat imagery mixed in with the keyboard visuals."


100 FS1R Sounds - Part 2

"I couldn't find a decent demo of the FS1R on here, so I figured I'd run through the sounds. These are the factory voices with no additional processing.

By the halfway point I was getting better at cycling through the sounds, but I still had to cut a lot out to fit it all in less than ten minutes. The editing is not the smoothest here, but there it is.. a hundred FS1R sounds. Next video will just feature my favorites.

I've got a couple more underrepresented pieces here, so we'll see how my free time comes along with the new job.
