The FS1R is the pinnacle of Yamahas FM synthesis with algos holding up to 8 (!) operators at once. In addition you have Formant synthesis that you can blend in with the classic FM and these sounds can be setup into 4 different parts with traditional, albeit digital, filters, amps, LFOs and whatnot.
It can even import original DX7 sysex.
The result can be spectacular, As I demonstrate in this video.

The module flopped back in '98 and was produced for only just over a year and quickly went into the digital purgatory. But over the years to come, rumors began spreading about this other-wordly sound module and now it's highly sought after. As it should be!

Growing up I listened to so much synth-pop and it's only natural that my own music takes inspiration from many of the acts I loved back then. I still love them and listen to them!
Howard Jones, Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, New Order, Erasure, Thompson Twins, Tears for Fears, The Human League, Propaganda. FGTH, Ultravox, OMD, Eurythmics, Duran Duran, Giorgio Moroder, Jean Michel Jarre, Jan Hammer, Alphaville, A-ha as well as loads of artists doing what is now called Italo Disco. And many more great acts like Nik Kershaw, Spandau Ballet, Wham, Dire Straits ++
