Yamaha FB-01

Year Released: 1986
Date Purchased: 1987, $295 (new)

I’ve not bought a lot of Yamaha synths over the years. The FM sound really didn’t catch my ears in the early years.

I did buy a FB-01 as I was poor and it was inexpensive, even when they first came out. And the 4-Op FB-01 didn’t help with selling me on the FM sound.

My FB-01 is currently on loan to a friend.

Here it is in 2000 along side a Linn LM-1 DrumComputer and a E-mu Drumulator.
