In this special episode of Synth Quest, I present the origin and history of FM Synthesis and the Yamaha DX7.
Unfortunately, Episode 2 was never finished. It was planned as a general demonstration of the DX7 in the style of my normal Synth Quest format and wasn’t intended to be another exhaustive documentary. I had planned to research the development of the DX7II as well but that would require significant input from Yamaha, which I haven’t been able to secure.
Special thanks to Dr. John Chowning and Mr. Hiro Kato for setting my course to research this story. I consider the research in this video as the tip of the iceberg. If anyone has additional photos, information, or prototype examples, please let me know so I can update this video.
