Putting It All Together
Please note that the parameter groups referred to in the preceding sections are only those that apply directly to the
FS or FM functions mentioned. Keep in mind that there is an extensive range of others — envelope generators,
filters, low-frequency operators, and more — which apply to both FS and FM voices. There’s also a comprehensive
effect system including reverb, delay, modulation, and many, many more effects that can be used to refine and
polish your sound.
Indeed, the FS1R is a complex tone generator, and a thorough understanding can only be achieved through
experimentation. If you want to go beyond the presets provided (although they should be more than enough for
many applications), we urge you to go ahead and play with the parameters. Try editing the presets to create
variations. And when you’re ready for some serious programming try initializing a few internal voices (voice
initialization on page 78) and starting from scratch. Keep the manual handy and refer to the parameter descriptions
in the “EDITING” section (starting on page 28) to guide you.
The following diagrams show an overall view of how the tone generator PERFORMANCE and VOICE parameters are
related, and how the performance parts connect to the FS1R effect system.
