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.

Wow! I had no idea the development was this organic. Step by step. Many venturing into a complete unknown; leap of faith that something could come of this. Cheers to Yamaha for taking a gamble. They deserve their success and accolades. Speculative visionaries that added something new and wondrous to the world. It's what we all wish we could do.

Well said, this technology had so many obstacles, it's very fortunate that it even made it out into the world at all. You're right about venturing into the unknown, this was so new and required such a change in thinking and technology that they had to create it from scratch. Absolutely amazing.

@@madFame I knew a lot of this history, but what I didn't before realize was HOW MANY prototypes Yamaha went through. Truly amazing! The depth of research required to not only collect all this information but ALSO get pictures of all the prototypes is very impressive. Thank you so much for doing this! No doubt this was an incredible amount of work to put together. My first polyphonic synth was a DX7. I still remember when the DX series first came out; the discussions that were had between musicians and the impact the DX7 had on people at the time. At lot of it seems to be forgotten today. For example, many people underestimate the importance of the touch sensitivity of the keybed and the polyphony. The DX line had a lot of features that were not common, if found at all, on analog synths of the time. For many, the DX was the first synthesizer that felt like a REAL instrument in its responsiveness and was ALSO affordable. That's not just FM at play there; the combination of key scaling, velocity and aftertouch and breath controller made it feel like an organic instrument, not just a box of electronics. The high polyphony for the time meant you could finally do jazz chords on a synth. The fact that FM sounded like nothing that came before certainly was helpful, too, but those other things combined with the price point are what really turned it into a best-seller. It also was a LOT easier to haul around everywhere than a Rhodes. Also, analog purists aren't a new invention. They existed right the day the DX came out. There were vociferous DX and digital haters and they used all the same arguments back then that we still hear today. There were also too many who went all-in on digital. My position always was that digital and analog offer different palettes that complement each other and both technologies deserve a place in a well-rounded keyboard rig. Layering them well gives something more than the sum of the parts and thanks to MIDI that became possible to do easily from the DX onward. Anyway, all those prototypes Yamaha went through were ultimately worth the effort. It clearly allowed them to refine their FM presentation substantially. When they finally came out with a product, they really hit a sweet spot in the market. The DX line wasn't perfect, but at the time it had an unbelievable impact. I can't wait to see what you have in store for part 2!

@dyacktman I agree with you 100%. What makes the DX7 so special is ALL of those improvements and capabilities combined. It wasn't just a new way to make sounds, it was a practical way to make a synthesizer do what a keyboard musician needed it do. When people compare it to the Juno106 they're missing the point, the DX7 wasn't even in the same category as a keyboard let alone a synthesizer. Phenomenal when it came out.

I know a person who was on sound development of some of the stock patches that launched with the DX-7. Some of the most infamous sounds he developed was the bass sound used in Danger Zone. When he was brought in to demo early units, he absolutely hated the stock bass sounds, so he reworked them. He now has a propensity to hoard DX7's he has about 50 units, about 30 are funtioning with some variation of maintenance required, so he won't sell them unless they all are functioning.

Beautiful work. As an aside, I would note that Gary Luenberger’s contribution is often underestimated. He acted as far more than simply a programmer. He understood the practical/musical aspects of FM synthesis probably more than any living human being. His NAMM show demonstration’s are legendary among those of us who first adopted FM technology. The upstairs “synth cave” at his San Francisco piano store often played host to many of the prototypes shown in this video, as well as many Yamaha analog instrument prototypes, which never saw the light of day in actual manufacture. I am personally grateful to Gary for the time he took teaching me FM synthesis.

Thanks for the insight ZT Audio! I tried reaching out to Gary to get a more accurate account of his involvement, but I was unable to reach him unfortunately. In my research I became aware of how legendary his programming work on the CS-80 had become in the 70's, and then his input with FM. Don Lewis also reached out to me after seeing this video and gave me some insight into his involvement too. I hope to give these influential contributors their dues in a subsequent video, (if I can return to making videos that is). Thanks for watching! :)

What a great time to be there :-)

@rootstudio Thank you again for your photos, they were perfect! It's funny while making this video, how time consuming it was to find quality images. I tried my best to pack in as much visual info for everyone and your photos helped so much. That's a great story about that lecture, it's funny how other legends just casually stroll in or are nearby. There's a NAMM video interview with John Chowning and he's talking about Hammond coming to see FM at Stanford for the first time (around 1972). Chowning recounts how Hammond sent Don Lewis to check out FM and then Lewis walks in on the interview as if on cue. Crazy!

Interestingly, the MAD prototype organ from 1975 reflects the image which entered my mind when I first heard the word ”synthesizer” as an eight-year-old 13 years later. I pictured an instrument which simultaneously resembled a computer and an organ. It also was fitting when I learned about the Con Brio models which appeared to pick up somewhere between the MAD and the GS1, continuing the dual-manual/computer layout and encouraging tonal exploration in lieu of being hinged to presets like on the GS1 and DX7. It’s a drag that Con Brio couldn’t get their prototypes into any form of production.

Excellent video! As an owner of an SY-77, I still have no idea how to program FM synths, but I absolutely love them! As much as I am a musician, I also really appreciate the history of stuff. Hardly anything ever comes to be, by just one person's work or ideas and it's always amazing to see what it took to get something like FM Synthesis off and running. It could have easily just as well, became nothing, if not for the wildly innovate folks at Yamaha. If they had not already been working to get ahead of the digital curve, then who knows what might have happened. What it takes to make something happen, logistically, is just as fascinating to me as the technology, involved.

I feel the same way! I originally intended this video to be a short 2 min intro before a regular Synth Quest episode of the DX7. The more I discovered in my research, the more I realised how much of an interesting story there was. Finding info about Yamaha's FM development in the mid-late 70s was incredibly fascinating. Like you say, the DX7 and FM synthesis could have easily not happened if it were not for John Chowning's unique musical approach to computer technology and Yamahas forward thinking for their musical instruments. This was a very rewarding episode for me, and I'm glad it exists as the first true attempt to present the origin of Yamaha's FM synthesis. Thank you for watching!
