Congratulations!
Your FS1R Format Shaping/FM Synthesis Tone Generator gives you the power of two extraordinary tone generation
systems in one compact, easy-to-use rack-mount unit. Formant Shaping synthesis gives musicians unprecedented
capability to produce and control sounds with characteristics and flexibility similar to that of the human voice. It can
also produce instrument voices that have the response and rich pitch-dependent timbral variations. FS technology
also lends itself ideally to FM synthesis, similar to the type introduced in the legendary Yamaha DX-series
synthesizers and TX-series tone generators. In addition to unprecedented voicing versatility and expressive scope,
the FS1R features an advanced control interface that facilitates both real-time performance control and editing.
Please read this owner’s manual carefully, and follow the instructions within in order to ensure proper operation. Also
keep this manual in a safe place for later reference.
