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.
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:
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.
what does he say at 00:44 to 00:48 ? something with subaudio ? i cant clearly hear but i'd like to know. :) im not nativly englisch so my word recognition isnt that good :P

His daughter is my math teacher
+godiebeard2015 for real? thats awesome, this dudes responsible for so much good music its not even funny
@@HooverBeast And the digital world
THAT IS SO COOL.
Even still, I bet she gave you a hard time in class lol
is she hot?
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.

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.

And to think, if it weren't for this man, the late 80's as we know them may never have existed.
I can't decide.
what.. a....legend!
LOVE ... that's all there is to say.
I noticed it too.
thanks!
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!
"I think he will be proud..." When did you post this comment? 1983?!
1967 . --- was LSD involved? Amazaning molecule
what a beast
what does he say at 00:44 to 00:48 ? something with subaudio ? i cant clearly hear but i'd like to know. :) im not nativly englisch so my word recognition isnt that good :P
"and at subaudio rates"
Steve Johnson thanks
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.
Yes!
Check Native Instruments FM8 then. Or JuceOPLVSTi for more old atmosphere of the tone.
Badabing Yamaha Montage.
KODAMO ESSENCEFM
@@BrockDavisson Touch screen.. Nah.
One of the most influential figures in the history of electronic music.
Can't take this in, must resist, too GOOD om nom nom.
native instruments fm8 rules now ;)
DX200
Am I really the one to note the chimes at the beginning are FM synth?
no.
Hey I meet Joe Pesci while smoking a joint on a desert parking in the middle of nowherE.
why is no one talking about this snoooooze fest?
