Expert Controller for the Yamaha VL1 Synthesizer

Demonstration of the hardware prototype. It can edit the complete physical model of the VL1. Musically not much enlightening, but showing some first impressions. See also my home page: vl1.skerjanc.de/?p=23

A romantic piece composed for the pipe or reed organ. For dynamics I used aftertouch (vibrato) and two foot pedals to control volume and timbre.
What is better than a Yamaha FS1r with a HW Controller?

Answer: 2 FS1r with 2 HW controllers... Testing session of another device before sending it to a friend.

Mungo State Zero Synthesizer: Drone
Переглядів 1,4 тис.3 роки тому
A short clip demonstrating the polyphonic Mungo State Zero. It is an 8-voice digital synthesizer, patchable by 3,5mm patch cords. Total recall with 100 patch memory. Unfortunately only 5 or 6 were build ever. In this first example, only 5 oscillators were used.

Wow! What a great controller you've built! Thanks for sharing.
Hi! Thank you for this demo. Is this editor capable to manage all the VL1 parameters like the advanced Yamaha editor on old Mac?
Sure, everything Yamaha‘s Expert Editor could do. And a bit more…
@@rts213wow! Great! Because to buy an old Mac, installing an obsolete OS and a retro software is not easy and safe. Your solutions seems a lot better. Is it a commercial product? I’ve seen a white prototype on the VL Facebook page and this black face. Thank you!
Really nice, i own a syclavier regen, and your sounds are all in the palet of the synclavier 2 (fm+additive) engine inside, with it's own personality but still... Really nice fm work...
how to make this control console?
Can you explain how can you play 4 voice polyphonic?! I did not get that! Is it by using 2 voice x 2 elements each?! Please explain…
I am using a 2nd VL1 and the controller automatically sets up the Polyexpand parameters.
I want that module with that controller! <sigh>
Do I really want hat synth with that controller? Why yes, yes I do.
beautiful music, beautiful synth
Hi Robert! Great, how much is the controller? And where to get one?
Definitely would love one of these! I'm an electrical engineer and would love to help you build more of them.
Thank you! Very much enjoyed seeing and hearing your Fs1r and controller in action, truly amazing controller and nice sounds and playing/presentation
Could this be paired with the EX5 and used for it’s VL-section (in a more limited fashion)?
No
love one, but think I’m sticking to the wavestate iPad app & my trusty alesis micron for now & will just pray they make a monomachine mkii one day 🙏
With fm been hip again prices have gone crazy £1750! Saw one last month for 950 but just didn’t have the cash, and I’m still that’s still a lot more than they used to go for. Anyone know how much they cost on release date?
What a great controller, I would say essential for any serious VL synthetist. Kudos!
Robert - a fantastic video for an instrument you have brought to life!
This is so cool! How did you build the enclosure? It looks so good!
The front panel and casing is made with a CNC machine.
Solid...
Amazing
Yamaha lost something when they abandoned their analog history, some of these legacy synths really just sing in a way that even a Montage can't.
I would buy that in a second
FS1r, like a ghost haunting the planet searching for a human that will give it a soul...
MOre please as there is so few video of this synth
How many of these controllers were made?
I can imagine that Vangelis would have loved the FS1R paired with this controller. It can make some very odd, yet musical sounds at the time. The problem with a lot of people who have Eurorack units is that they use the units to go, “Screeeetch! Blatt! Karang!” They don’t arrange their noises into anything resembling a song that goes anywhere.
Very cool
Dear God plz sell me one of these controllers 😭
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。

The only thing more desolate than these sounds is the mental picture of a man who learns how to operate a Yamaha FS1R.
I remember when those things where being sold at guitar center new in Box for 480 dollars lol😂
Hey i have an FS1R . But there's a problem the sounds are not working on it. Need ur help on this. The demo is playing good. Midi signal is also there just sound is coming like in percussive. If i play upright paino it sounds like bass.. what's the issue... Please need ur help give me email so that i can ask u abt this.

Try reaching out to Yamaha or the synth guys who repair synths out of Texas.
Not impressed. Not even by the FS1R. Boring.
It’s an FM and Formant synth with an analog filter. It does a certain family of sounds.
It's not about being impressive, its about can you use it to make something musical and expressive? FM synthesis has proven itself to be well up to that task, and the FS1R is one of the best implementations of FM.
Haha.. love your sarcasm.. ❤FM 4ever
So jealous of the controller!
Amazing. Will the final version have power and midi on the back? Would love to rack in my case with no space above…
Yes, they will be on the back side.
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
Interesting project, but you can manipulate all the parameters with full graphical interface with a $20 old Mac SE, an old $10 serial MIDI interface, and the $0 free Yamaha VL1 Expert Editor. And the Expert Editor can even two-way interact and automatically tune the models…
Sure, if you are a happy owner of a functional macintosh and a $10 MIDI interface. But having real knobs to put hands on, is a totally different story. Years ago I wrote the VL1 adaptation for Sound Diver. And I found it totally uninspiring. Within weeks, I made more interesting patches with the HW controller than all years before.
Die velocity bei 14:45 ❤ traumhafter patch 🙌.. Taste mich immer noch voran bei meinem Skerjanc Controller 😊.. endless.. Lg
Die 🎚️ fader sind Hammer 👌
i would like to have a fs1r programmer with this form-factor…
Good idea, possibly my next project? :-)
Finally… the hardware programmer that no one dared to make until now…
Wow...great machines there. if only the VL1 wasnt that rare...
This is amazing! The VL1m moved up my wishlist now!
w...t...fuuuuuuuuuuuu
Wir wissen doch alle: Synthesizer sind diese kalt klingenden, emotionslosen Maschinen, die von Knöpfchendrückern bedient werden. Also kann es dieses Video gar nicht geben. Grandiose Aufführung. Faszinierend, wie mühelos der Schmidt Synthesizer dabei von analoger Rundheit zu digital anmutender Schärfe geführt werden kann. Ich bin auch vollkommen von der Yamaha-Modul-Demonstration begeistert. Der Mix von FM- und Format-Synthese ist offenbar wie geschaffen für abstrakte Klänge, die abseits von Klischee-Klängen liegen.
Did you loan this to Yamaha for their recent demo of the FS1R?
simply outstanding!!
If I won the lottery, I would buy the controller for a pile of cash, but I guess it is just unobtainable right now.
