I've been saying, for a very long time, that wave shapes, wave sync, filters and ring modulators are wonderful for creating various timbres, but it's not until one starts to get into audio frequency rate modulation that one finds sounds that are truly amazing.

That's interesting. Where is/was she teaching math? Was it at the college level?

Very interesting. I love FM.

Awesome video! Wonderful to hear how FM came to be. Wonderful work!

Thank you for sharing this.

Met this man yesterday at the St. Louis airport on accident! He sat next to me, and we chatted a while. Wish I had taken better notes after I came home to find out who he was!! D:

thanks john! i could not do without your awesome invention

Much respect ...The 80's would have never sounded like the 80's without John's awesome work.

I love FM synthesis. I think the new Kodamo EssenceFM synth is the best thing out there.

Thanks again for posting. Shame it was not longer!

still love it!!

John chowing is the Man!!

Hero of the mind and perception. Truly an explorer.

I was at Stanford when Chowning was doing this work (a little later). Everyone in the music department seemed to think he was a mad scientist or something. Amusing, now, that the DX7 (et al) was probably the most significant output of his “crazy” explorations.

And to think, if it weren't for this man, the late 80's as we know them may never have existed.

Nice

Wow, what a clever guy. Very interesting to hear. Thanks for posting.

This video is an editing tour de force !!

An amazing story of the origin of the FM synthesis. I think he will be proud that the DX7 Mk1 can produce amazing sounds. Long live the DX7!

Steve Johnson I think its Sub audio and RANGE by the way,it sounds more like that and it makes more sense.

I hope some manufacturer will make a pure FM synth soon, with a large intuitive interface.
