Yamaha FS1r

[DIGITAL SCREAMS]

Cool to hear you got the FS1R. For the money.....its an amazing machine. Which editor are you using for it?

This is the best one apparently http://www4.airnet.ne.jp/k_take/fs1r...r_english.html

Thats the one! That and the FSEQ editor where you can load in WAVs and extract the formants and upload them into the user sequences. Pretty fucking trippy.

I plan on taking the FS1R to work on my new track/remix very soon, maybe even tomorrow.

Right now I'm just using the Andromeda for the main pizzicato style synth, and the Yamaha SY85 (GREAT SYNTH) for bass and an additional synth line underneath the Andy. (I fucking LOVE the SY85 effects ...OMG...)

Still needs A FUCKING BUTTLOAD of work but I have a little patch test right now. I am going to work on the drums a lot more tomorrow. Just whipped up something really quick this evening to see how shit is fitting before I get too far into this thing. ...lol Not -too- bad for 2 evenings of work from scratch though. I especially like the phaser-y synth part from the SY85.

More to come later Some of this shit may change drastically.. This is basically like my first real attempt at a track from complete scratch, so I am still a super-noob. lol Just transcribed the notes by ear off of a record I have and started putting stuff down in Sonar and noodling around (while majorly drunk of course. that always helps. haha)

I was fooling with the FS1R today and got a NICE spacey choir sound and put that into my sound test in the above file. Gotta work on the drums a bit and start with the arrangement. I think I'm happy with the way the sounds go together now. I had a hi-hat/shaker sound that was annoying me so I made one with the SH-101..much better!

Man the FS1R and the SY85 both fucking ROCK!!!
