i’m blown away by this cool hardware programmer...by the way: this is one of the very few yt-videos that show the real potential of the fs1r. far beyond typical fm.
you may also be interested in what TG/SY77 AFM synthesis is capable of under similar although not so elaborate control...eg : th-cam.com/video/qmtzBOW72X4/w-d-xo.html
That's a beautiful device you've built. I really hope you are able to make a commercial run. There aren't a lot of FS1rs out there but the people who've stuck with them love them and would love them more with this!
I dislike mine and regret buying it. It's very crude in today's world of FM and has 0 character in terms of the audio path. All the modulation stuff is way better with software nowadays
@@j1v4108 I don't know it sounds the same and easier to configure. I'm talking about the modulars that runs FM software like mutable instruments plaits with last update and ryk vectorwave
Awesome. F.M. control as it should be (not the endless menu page diving on the Yamaha SY99). I do have 2 Behringer RC2000's but that is still insufficient as a DX-7 or SY99 midi controller. A dedicated controller like yours is the only solution.
Sounds and looks fantastic...great work!! Takes FM synthesis to a new dimension!! i have been doing similar with the TG77 AFM synthesizer although not to the extent of building my own controller but instead utilizing existing midi controller to control it by midi sysex...
This is incredible. I can sometimes get some amazing results w/ a competent editor (i'm using patch base right now), but nowhere near this. thanks for sharing
Bought my FS1r in 2000 for cheap and nearly new condition. Sold it a couple of years ago because the interface was impenetrable and prices for them had blown up. Miss it but I feel some vindication in the Kodamo Essence FM.
Lol this is great. I got a FS1R from ebay about 10 years ago for £200. I was shocked at the prices now. This programmer is well needed, great stuff lol :D
How someone can built this? This is a masterpiece. Had the fs1r back in the day when it was released and i programmed on that smal display bout 120 presets. But your tank makes this synth a real instrument. Awesome.
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." And from the interview: Right now I'm thinking about a controller for other devices ... Perhaps for the VL1?
You should put on a small 5 minute video explaining the hardware and software just enough so anybody daring can also take a similar approach.and make theirs. I know documenting everything as if it was open source can be demanding but maybe it's required
Absolutely incredible!!! I'm assuming this would do magic with the NI FM8 and even a plain old 6-OP DX7? The only thing that comes close (but NOT really) is the Korg OPSIX user interface.
I was thinking about creating my own using baranger BCR 2 thousands Are the new pcr 32 that's coming out , For both the 1980s Yamaha And the FSR one Not to mention the tg 77 , I think the original controller that Bryan anium made which saw a very limited production run I'd like a 140 controlling Knobs on it
@@rts213 I too am interested in one of these controllers. I was fortunate enough to get an fs1r when they were giving them away in the late 90's. I would gladly support a kickstarter or buy directly. Very awesome device!
Why do they hide all these features behind terrible a UI. They should just break it out out of the factory and charge what they need to get out of it. It will be expensive but it will be a classic. Killer video. Sounds amazing. Good job on the controller.
I owned an fs1r 1999-2002. I SOLD IT. I have regretted it but never so much as now. Lordy, they go for 2500 bucks now. The fs1r is an amazing instrument and I had to sell it for financial reasons. 900 dollars! Ugh!!!!
The metal panel with 7-segment displays is such a perfect aesthetic.
At the bottom left there is also a descriptive panel of the various algorithms that can be implemented

ther is a better free editor for fs1r, very easy to use vast interface
@@whatistau Hi, do you have a link to that editor? Thank you.

the fs1r was underrated and very VERY much more advanced than its time... this controller is just... wow... smh.... amazing!!
Wow! What a great controller you've built! Thanks for sharing.
FS1Rは、階層がとても深く、1つ1つをコントロールするのは、複雑怪奇で至難の業。それを直感的にコントロールできるのは、とても素晴らしいです。「サウンドダイバー」とゆうソフトウェアでコントロールしてますが、何をどの様にコントロールし終わってるのか、分からなくなることもしばしば。このハードウェアなら、直ぐに確認が出来る。
Insane....What a Piece of Art! I would love to have one to make those 80s Sci-fi film scenes. Great job Genius!
I just read the article and you're simply brilliant!!
This is awesome, can you share the plans to build or any chance I can order one built from you?
Waiting on an Uli FS1r with this level of control.
After Robert henke’s monodeck 2, this is the most exicting thing i ever saw. Yes i wish i have one as a fs1r owner and fm lover. Big salute to you.
Definitely would love one of these! I'm an electrical engineer and would love to help you build more of them.
Whoa, that's so awesome dude! If any synth needed a controller like that it's the FS1R.
Thank you Robert. Amazing synth which deserves this interface. You are making the FS1R live again.
This is pure X-Files/ Mark Snow material right here. Absolutely epic.
Robert, you are the master of the universe. We are not worthy. And yet we beseech you, please continue to bless us with your sounds.
wish I had this for my FS1R when I owned it.. Fantastic!
I really really wish there were schematics and microcontroller programming released for this. I'd LOVE to build one.
I recently sold my FS1R and was amazed at the four-fold price increase. Now I understand why.
これは凄いわ、FMパラメーターをリアルタイムでコントロールするから変化が凄まじい、神
Awesome. F.M. control as it should be (not the endless menu page diving on the Yamaha SY99).
I do have 2 Behringer RC2000's but that is still insufficient as a DX-7 or SY99 midi controller. A dedicated controller like yours is the only solution.
No words.
Just no words.
Amazing! Looks like a Schmidt rival if put together as a single synth😍

Such a huge piece of genius!

Interesting job! I think it's not simple to drive this magic machine if you aren't a true artist
FS1r, like a ghost haunting the planet searching for a human that will give it a soul...

Simply incredible
Great stuff- probably costs more than the FS1r even at the current prices, but what fun it would be to have all that control
That thing is sick tech
WOW man, amazing work and sounds!!!
Awsome. Please, tell us more about the project. Make a video about the hardware and software.
Nice controller and synth
Very impressive!!! Well done, Robert! 🙌

Imagine recording this controller with a sequencer...wow!
Also the sounds you are getting out of the fs1r are really great!
holy FM...my SY77 would love something like that too...
This is an absolute beast! Made me think of the Jellinghaus
So jealous of the controller!
Tangerine Dream will be calling soon to make you an offer you can’t refuse. This could be a lost T Dream live album from the 1980’s.
That's amazing. Fantastic sounds too. Hopefully Yamaha will take note (I doubt they will :p)
Nice synth, had it for a while. Syper crip sounding fm and formant. I'd still prefer Monomachine engine as more flexible and superior in a way.
wonderful, great work!
Wild. Batch 2 underway?
Not decided yet. One device needs more than 4 weeks work in my spare time…
Fantastic job and many greets! Peter from midiphy :)
Would absolutely buy this if available. Please get in touch if that ever happens!
We need to know more!!
Seonded on would be VERY interested on if this controller was ever made available for order.

Awesome this is what i wished for ever when I bought it in 1998. If you will ever sell it or produce more, let me know :)
Absolutely stunning !!!!! Great work you did !
Brian Eno would have loved this
Absolutely incredible!!! I'm assuming this would do magic with the NI FM8 and even a plain old 6-OP DX7? The only thing that comes close (but NOT really) is the Korg OPSIX user interface.
Wow this is amazing!
Amazing work Robert. Is there a list to join for orders? Cheers
Wow amazing!! Please do a “how to” build.
You made FS1R editor!? Awesome!
wonderful
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING
Fantastic controller... Want. Very "2001 space odyssey". Beauty.
Großes Kino!!!!
Mind to share the build plans and schemes?
wow!! awesomeness! would you share the arduino code & hardware setup for a DYI kit?
I was thinking about creating my own using baranger BCR 2 thousands Are the new pcr 32 that's coming out , For both the 1980s Yamaha And the FSR one Not to mention the tg 77 , I think the original controller that Bryan anium made which saw a very limited production run I'd like a 140 controlling Knobs on it
Das wäre doch mal eine Aufgabe für Korg, Yamaha und Co. Ein FM-Synth mit großzüzigem Live-Zugriff auf die Klangerzeugung.
this a good first time synth? new to this..
kdaj začnemo serijsko proizvodnjo? :)
Wen are we going to get some more videos?
Sehr beeindruckend!
More please!
More of this please!
incredible build!!
I Bought one new for $150 I should have kept it (Like everything else I bought and sold) Amazing controller
I would buy that in a second
Alan Partridge's new synthesizer.
Sound on!
Robert, you should market it, even in small series. Much more interesting than a Dtronics DT7...
totally agreed
Let‘s see, you might be disappointed about the costs. Piece production by hand is not comparable to mass production at all.
@@rts213 I would like to order one from you, if you are willing to build another one, let me know the estimated cost.
@@rts213 Could you give us a price estimate? Or something? This is fantastic

Excellent :) !
I thought this was going to be about a new Yamaha Motorcycle.
Hi Robert! Great, how much is the controller? And where to get one?
If I wanted to pay you to build one for me, what might be the process? Serious FS1R freak.
This is exactly what everyone can do with FM!!!
may i have two please . . .
freaking gorgous unit
This is so fantastic 🙏 ~ I hope to get one out of your fabrication / habe mein Interesse über deine Website gemeldet

Very cool
I remember when those things where being sold at guitar center new in Box for 480 dollars lol😂
How do I order it?
