"1998 ultra classic 19" rack synth from Yamaha, FS1R. As we all know, this machine sounds like nothing else, with its 16 operators of FM synthesis / Formant shaping."
8 x 8 Op - (8 pitched, 8 unpitched), each with: attenuation envelope & frequency envelope
Programming is like painting a mural through a keyhole. There are external editors though including an iPad editor I created years ago. Note this listing is not mine.
Rare Yamaha keyboard with unique sounds and functions. This is Version 2 of this legendary synth.
Works well and sounds great. The floppy disk drive has been replaced with a USB floppy emulator (compatible with USB memory sticks)...
More info from Yamaha:
'The first model of synthesizer to feature VA (virtual acoustic) tone generation based on physical modeling, a complete departure from sampling and FM.
A VA tone generator creates sounds by simulating the physical mechanism by which wind, string and other instruments produce sound.
The virtual instruments simulate characteristics such as the shape and materials of music instruments, allowing the creation of tonal changes that respond to the breathing and playing methods used.
The VL1 was created with reed instruments and other wind instruments in mind, and thus is two-note polyphonic.'"
X New Year, the first album from tamiX, an artist skilled in improvising electronic music, records the live set at 024 in Beijing, a live house at Sanlitun, on the first day of new year night of 2022.
tamiX being an Buchla endorsed musician, played over 60-minute live set using rare Buchla 200e modular synthesizer system. It is an intensive exploration tamiX made to the music style she’s adept at: melodic techno, and created an unique tune integrating the features of experimental and musical.
To be affected by the distinctive glamour of tamiX, audiences should be in the live show, which is also the reason why tamiX barely released any record. As an electronic musician skilled in improvisation, compared with playing on the traditional music platforms, tamiX chose streaming video on YouTube instead, the leading medium in China and beyond the sea separately where audiences can watch all of her live show videos.
All things considered, the album X New Year includes the whole live show performance; meanwhile, the specific characteristics of tamiX playing electronic music improvisation are well demonstrated to its utmost.
Apart of the digital album, X New Year will be released as a special collector bundle, including a 44 pages photo book of tamiX's performance, and a USB sticker with more contents inside:
a) 60+ mins video of the performance b) The trailer video c) mp3 of the album d) Uncompressed wav of the album e) All photos in the photo book f) Two picture of post cards g) Pictures of the photo book h) Cover picture of the album i) Picture of my Buchla modules setup
Stay tuned for more infos about how to get the special collector bundle.

"The road to In Through The Out Door led me to research every detail about the record. The episode discusses my personal experience discovering the album, the state of play for Led Zeppelin in 1978 and the elements that made up the sound on the final product: the Yamaha GX-1 and Polar Studios."
"We are taking pre-orders for Tymp Legio NOW. This module starts shipping Thursday, August 25, 2022: https://bit.ly/3zQuw6C
Tymp Legio was inspired by our love of all things crashy, bangy, thumpy, kicky, smashy, or generally percussive. We like to have fun here at NE, and we really wanted this module to reflect the sense of playfulness and our commitment to making great-sounding stuff without taking ourselves too seriously. Tymp Legio's modes (Boot, Cat, Boing) are an onomatopoetic guide to the sounds each encompasses. The Tang switch selects the palate within each mode, and the Quack inputs duck your audio to your percussion (or pass through in Boing mode). Tymp Legio is fantastic for live performance, sound design, or anytime you just want to make some fun and different percussive noises.
The Legio platform is our newest 6HP platform. Any module in the Legio series can be swapped to any other in the series, completely free, at the Noise Engineering Customer Portal. Learn more about the platform at the World of Legio: https://bit.ly/3Nf61nW"
