Formant Sequences: “FSeqs”

In addition to envelope generator, LFO1, velocity, and manual control, the FS1R features a range of 90 preset FSeqs
(Formant Sequences) which can be used to “sequence” the formants to produce voice-like phrases, rhythm loops,
and more. FSeqs are sequences of formant frequency, fundamental pitch, and level data which have been created
by analyzing the formant content of actual sounds. FSeq playback speed can be set at a fixed value, controlled via
a MIDI clock signal, varied by note velocity (e.g. keyboard dynamics) or varied manually when the “scratch” Fseq
mode is selected. And since the sound of formants is not pitch dependent, FSeq playback speed and pitch can be
varied over an extremely wide range without altering the basic timbre of the sound (something that even the best
samplers cannot do).

Fseqs actually have 8 “tracks”, each of which contains the frequency and level data for one operator pair (voiced
and unvoiced). Normally, the Fseq tracks are assigned to the corresponding operator pair, but these assignments
can be changed for special effects.
