The FB01 was the synth used onboard Yamaha's first sound card, aka the IBM
Music Feature Card. Got it as a dealer kit as I was working in the sw biz
at the time, followed by my beloved Juno-106. Yeah, no touch sensitivity
there, but those two units were what I started doing my work on in '87...
One of these days I'm going to get the sequenced ESQ files I did
converted.
I think there are more than a few songs to be re-had in that way...!
The FM sounds were less than impressive on their own, but when put through
processing one could make it just fine.
Ah, memories.
