FSeqEdit.

This program is an editor for FSeq data. FSeqdata is a native format for Yamaha’s FS1R, that stores formant information needed to recreate sounds, much like samples. Features like a tracker style editor, importing of wavefiles, drawing formants as lines, moving and scaling of formants etc should give you the possibility to actually use the features of your FS1-R that makes the machine so special. You’ve paid for it damnit.

Features:

• Operation of all the parameter was enabled from PC. The user interface which can perform making sound conveniently.
• This software can save SMF (Standard MIDI File) so that voice data can also be passed to the Mac users and Linux user, etc.
• Since there was software which can make FSEQ data from overseas software “FSeqEdit”, the file(.syx) is read and it enabled it to store in a FS1R. Thereby, Formant data was made from the WAV file etc., and FS1R was made to talk and it became possible to give width to tone creation. Furthermore, since FSEQ data is convertible for SMF, it is possible to also distribute FSEQ data to the direction of other OS’s. FSeqEdit: http://www.xs4all.nl/~niff/fs1r/

Comprehensive and free – can’t complain!
