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.

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.

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