For sale is the incredible powerful YAMAHA FS1R FM Synthesizer 240V in great condition. It is almost impossible to describe the sound, flexibility and power of this machine without playing and hearing it. The FS1R is capable of any sound you can imagine. The FS1R would be not for everyone, but a gem for the one who is seeking something special. There are some very small marks on the rack ears from mounting and on the top plate. This is a 240 Volt version.If you have any questions or like to know the final postage price, you can call or text me on 0434 699 570. This item is advertised else where too and I keep the right to end the auction at any time. I pack all items very well for shipping and only post with registered mail, signature on delivery and insurance due to the value of the item.I describe all items the best possible way to avoid any unwanted surprises for the buyer.International bidders, please contact me before you make the payment for accurate shipping costs! This is a private sale, no warranty, no return.Sorry, I am not posting to Russia. Please be aware, unfortunately, I am not able to take bids from buyers with zero or negative feedback. Thank you. In 1998, after several years without producing a single FM synthesizer, Yamaha released a new FM powerhouse...the FS1R. This little beast is far from your average FM synthesizer. Not only is it an eight-Operator variant, as opposed to the six- and four-Operator FM of the DX/TX lines, but it also features a new technology called Formant Shaping Synthesis. Formants are the spectral patterns making up the sounds of human speech. This allows for the creation of vocal like timbres but can also be applied in many different ways to create incredibly unique sounds that you won't find on any other synths. DX7 aficionados will like the fact that the FS1R has almost complete compatibility with 6-Operator FM synths: you can send, via MIDI, a patch from a DX7, for example, and the FS1R will convert it to an identical-sounding patch in the new synth. A lot of the preset Voices actually come from the DX7's library. It's also possible to program sounds from DX7 sound charts, finding an algorithm that has an equivalent layout to the DX algorithm and turning off the unwanted Operators. The complexity of working with the synth is far outweighed by the amazing sounds that it's capable of. It truly sounds like nothing else out there. From huge evolving pads, to shimmering EPs, fantastic organs, screaming leads and booming basses.. this synth can sound industrial and cold one minute, and then warm and almost analogue the next. With some time dedicated to learning how to edit the patches, or create your own from scratch, there's really no sound that this synth isn't capable of making.
