Hi! My name is Harvey Hahn, I'm 73, and I'm a Yamaha synth fan. I have two TG-77 rack modules, an EX5R rack module, an EX5 keyboard synthesizer, a Motif ES7 keyboard synthesizer, and a Motif XS rack module, all of which use different technologies. The advantage of my Motif ES (even over the newer XF+ models, which I haven't pursued at this point) is that it permits plug-ins of older Yamaha synth technologies--I have the VL, AN, DX, XG, VH, and the very rare SG plug-ins. The latter is, I think, the predecessor of the FS1R, which, of course, I also have. Unfortunately, although I have a wide variety of Yamaha equipment, I hardly use anything currently other than the Motif ES. (This is primarily because of having many interests yet not as much time as I wish I had.) I'm a member of this group because I want to learn better the features of, and how to use, the FS1R. Some of the available online materials are very good, and in this group I can learn more, I hope. As a classically trained musician and composer, I find that the FS1R has some aspects that are particularly interesting to me, not only in human vocal terms but also with respect to the sounds of organ pipes. After more than 50 years playing pipe organs for churches, I'm currently pursuing the development of virtual pipe organs (VPOs) so that I can continue to play "pipe organs" for enjoyment in my new home with one of my daughters. Perhaps the FS1R can give me some great assistance in modifying the sounds of organ pipes that I have recorded. At this point in my life, this is all terra incognita. I hope it all turns out for the best! (I've been a member of the Yahoo Groups version of this group for several years, so this is a "new start", so to speak.)

Hi Harvey!? I'm also a big FS1R fan.? I've written a guide to program the FS1R using a spectrum analyzer which you can download off my website if you want to.? The guide is based mainly on the FS1R, especially the sections in the back.

OH, and I also have the manuals for the SG card in English on my JavelinArt.com site you can download, if you don't have them already.

Hi, Thor!

Yes, I have these already--really *GREAT* work!!! When I said, "Some
of the available online materials are very good", in my previous
message, it was YOUR materials that I was referring to!

Harvey

P.S. I thought I saw a reference to downloading a free spectrum
analyzer, but I can't find the reference. Do you remember where that
is?

Thanks for the compliment!

The link to the Spectrum Analyzer is in the FM Programming Guide, in section 3.0, for Visual Analyzer.

Hello from Brooklyn, New York! I'm a software programmer by day, amateur electronic musician as my therapy, and the FS1R is one of my prized possessions and I'd like to learn more about it's engine under the hood. I found the Yahoo Group and see it's being moved over here. I'm so glad I found you all!
Best,
Ray

Hello !

My name is Anders and I have an fs1r that I really like, I also have an EX5 with flash memory as well as a not yet mounted scsi-card. Other Yamaha gear I have includes, two KX88, a Motif XS7, a Motif XS Rack, an AN1 and an A3000 sampler and a SPX990 and probably some more Y-gear that i've forgotten.. My first synth experience was with a brand new DX7 when they were launched and I still like them but mostly using opensource Dexed for that.
I run everything in my studio as well as on live gigs on Linux and all the editors for my gear has been running great in Linux with Wine.

I hope this group will grow and stay for a long time.
