Yamaha FS1R | The Hidden Treasure!


Published on May 21, 2020 Espen Kraft

"Yamaha FS1R, at one time a hidden gem of a sound module. Not anymore. A total awesome source of magic is ready to burst out!

The FS1R is the pinnacle of Yamahas FM synthesis with algos holding up to 8 (!) operators at once. In addition you have Formant synthesis that you can blend in with the classic FM and these sounds can be setup into 4 different parts with traditional, albeit digital, filters, amps, LFOs and whatnot.
It can even import original DX7 sysex.
The result can be spectacular, As I demonstrate in this video.

The module flopped back in '98 and was produced for only just over a year and quickly went into the digital purgatory. But over the years to come, rumors began spreading about this other-wordly sound module and now it's highly sought after. As it should be!

The demo song, called 'Shoplifting' can be found here:

"JX-3P Plug-Out in Action!
I am using the 1983 classic patch 'PLANET' (old favorite)
It's such a magical patch, I play around with it.
This Plug-Out is right on target! Thank you, Roland!

"Another classic keyboard used by beloved Joy Division / Martin Hannett (together with the ARP Omni-2). The bit of reverb is from an MXR 01."

PULSER M75 Analog Synthesizer 1977 | HD DEMO


Published on May 21, 2020 AnalogAudio1

M75 or MX-75?

"(c) 2020 by AnalogAudio1

I played the Pulser M75 partly with delay effects from a Korg SDD-3000 (right channel only). Be careful with headphones, it's raw analog power ;-)

The Pulser M75 was manufactured in Japan in 1977 by 'Pulser Corporation'. It's identical to the Multivox MX75. The keyboard has aftertouch ('touch sensor effect') which can control vibrato depth, volume, pitch, growl and such things. It's a monophonic synthesizer with 2 VCOs, 1 Lowpass Filter, 1 VCA, 1 LFO, Sample & Hold, Noise Generator and presets, which you can modify. It's not really free programmable, but you can do some nice things with it: great leads, basses and FX. It has a very pleasing vintage analogue tone. A cool and rare synth!"

"This unit is virtually identical to the Vermona DRM1 MKII except it does not CV trigger ins, just MIDI in.

Recently tested from front panel, works and sounds great. MIDI also works but may require some configuration for 'learn' function to assign notes of your choice.

Cosmetically it's in very good shape, has some rack rash and about 5-6 tiny barely visible scratches on the front panel. Right rack ear top corner is very slightly bent (a nick about the size of a match head)"

The gold front panel really shows in this pic.

Auction blurb: "what is the bend matrix? the bend matrix is a midi sequencer for circuit bent projects...a dynamic tool to store and recall your analog synth patches...a microcontroller brain that leeches onto a host circuit...a signal router/mixer that can be played like an instrument and patched to your other midi gear...an octophonic surround-sound system controller for routing and spinning 4 inputs to 8 outputs...a circuit bending controller for live performance, e.g. turn a thrift-store kids keyboard into an arpeggiating, sequenced, midi-controlled player piano (forget squinting over a pcb with an alligator clip in the dark trying to find your glitch point!)...an automatic patch-bay and sequencer with real-time analog controls: strobe, arp, gloob, random....a meta-instrument: play the playing of other sound-makers, routing them into each other, multiple outputs/effects, programming and saving patches what does the bend matrix do?
