Grokking the FS1R: Part 1- The FS1R Spectral waveforms


YouTube Uploaded by NoisyLittleBugger on Mar 16, 2011

"WARNING - This video contains loud audio . Even though a limiter was placed on the output, the nature of FM means that noise peaks are inevitable when experimenting. You have been warned!

If you don't know what FS1R or FM synthesis are then there's no point in watching. Really.

Part 1: A quick look at the FS1R waveforms and their basic shaping parameters .

Apologies for the background hiss - attempting to eliminate. In any case, Youtube audio cannot do justice to the output of this fabulous device.

Software used:

FS1R editor - http://synth-voice.sakura.ne.jp/fs1r_editor_english.html

Grok: "to understand intuitively or by empathy; to establish rapport with" and "to empathise or communicate sympathetically (with); also, to experience enjoyment.""

  1. And more internet space wasted again...
    "If you don't know what FS1R or FM synthesis are then there's no point in watching.", what about making pointless videos about it ?

  2. Get over yourself! Some of us find videos like this very useful for assessing the synth architecture, in comparison to the poor manual, either because we're considering buying or just for general interest to know how these synths work.

    I also like how you think "internet space" is a real thing that exists. Even if it did, you should know that pointless complaining like that would be by far the biggest offender.
