I'm searching for DOS editing software for the Yamaha FB-01 (which can be used in place of an IBM Music Feature Card). I came across a description of FB Master on this page:

https://homepages.abdn.ac.uk/d.j.benson/pages … oftware.html#fb

FB Master
A computer-aided voicing program for the Yamaha FB-01. FB Master is a full featured editor/librarian with envelope graphs, light bars for utility selection and printable data screens. Two memory resident editors allow for instant access to all FB01 parameters. (IBM or 100% compatible) Retail $99.00 (1988 price)

IMAGINE COMPUTERS AND SOFTWARE
759 A. Ward Dr., Santa Barbara, CA 93111

I searched the company and found the personal website of founder Scott Nelson. I've sent an email via his contact page but I'm not sure if he's around any more (website not updated since 2014).

Has anyone heard of this software?

Note that I have found other software, but none for DOS.

I found another one, and while it's not FB Master it is a DOS program that does the job!

This looks to be a version of the Passport Designs MIDI Voice Librarian/Editor customised for the IBM Music Feature Card / FB-01: https://archive.org/details/mvle-imf
