Yamaha FB-01 | A Cult Classic!


video by Espen Kraft

"Yamaha FB-01 from 1986. By many considered cheap and bad, but it's the opposite. Just like the TX81Z, it has the ability to really cut through a track, especially in the important mid frequencies.

The first multi timbral sound module from Yamaha at the time, (the TX816 can be considered multi timbral though) and flexible in how you wanted to set up the midi channels and polyphony, but then the Roland MT-32 came along and blew this out of the water and the FB-01 was discontinued just the year after, in 1987. However.....
.....In the years to come afterwards, this little module has gained somewhat of a cult following. Websites dedicated to its worship came along and different genres within synth music started using it and modding it. Mods to reduce the noise, mods to increase the output gain and other stuff.

I'm using the FB-01 editor you can find here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/fb01...
Some of the patches I use in the video can be found here: http://mmmazes.blogspot.com/2010/05/f...

The demo track is only FB-01 except for the drums. All the sounds are either factory presets or sounds found through the banks above.

Cheaper than a TX81Z, but for how long?"

MYSTIC FREQUENCIES - STUDIO TOUR - MAIN ROOM & YAMAHA CS-80, DX1 and DX5 Demos

MYSTIC FREQUENCIES - STUDIO TOUR - MAIN ROOM - 11-21-2019
video by Mystic Frequencies

Spotted this one in a comment in this post for a custom Roland JX-8P labeled as an MJX-70. Some good synth spotting in this one. Note the Teisco Synthesizer SX-400, Synthesizer 006, two SX-210's, and two Akai SX-240s.

P.S. Check out The Peculiar World of Teisco Synthesizers posted here.

But first, here are a few additional videos from Mystic Frequencies:

MYSTIC FREQIENCIES - YAMAHA CS-80 TEST SONG 01

"A total off the top of my head sound test for the Yamaha CS-80 in the new studio setup. I hear lots of things to fix at the mixer but the CS-80 trucks right along without fail :) Its pretty cool to re-learn the old ways of synths and their logic, programming etc... The sound you hear in this test involves 3 separate LFO's, one programmed for when you hit notes, the 2nd when you use the sustain pedal, and the third based on polyphonic aftertouch. A truly amazing synth! Still need to learn the best ways and methods to use the pitch bender strip though."

"Slowly working the MIDI setup to where I like it, this is test #2. This is also my first test of my recently acquired Teisco S60P synth!"

Early 90s bedroom producer tips - do they still work? (Yamaha EX5, ZOOM R24)


video by Floyd Steinberg

"Table of contents below! In the early 90s, cheap Sound Blaster cards and Sound Canvas clones introduced quite a lot of people to electronic music production, but it would still take another 5 years before digital audio workstations would arrive in the home studios. This was a time when you had to come up with creative solutions to improve the sound of your music without having access to professional equipment (or the internet). Here are 7 common tips I picked up in magazines of the day. ;-)

00:00 Introduction
00:55 Tip #1
03:35 Tip #2

"This 3 VCO monster is completely and fully analog. Zero digital control over anything.

It also has an SH-101 style sequencer/ARP as well as being semi-modular.

If you know about Analogue Solutions, you know they're legit.

This is build to stand vertically on it's own but can be put into a rack.

This is minty fresh."
