Great documentary. Glad to have contributed a bit to it with the Synclavier photos. Looking forward to watching the next video. I met John Chowing when he was giving his famous lecture at Berkeley. I showed up way early to make sure I got a seat only to find his presentation happened in a tiny classroom with perhaps 15 students - incredible. Then Don Buchla stopped by to ask something and left. 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!

@@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!
@madFame4 жыл бұрын
@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.

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.

Don Lewis also reached out to me after seeing this video and gave me some insight into his involvement too.

Excellent info. I always had it in mind that Robert Moog had a hand in Yamahas development of FM. Apparently not. I learned something new ... I had (still have ) a Yamaha CX-5M MSX Music Computer, got it as soon as it came out. in '84. There are sounds in there that I can't find anywhere else, I've tried recreating them from my memory in virtual FM synths but the sound I'm most eager to get to again must be relying on an aspect of zipper noise/quantization aliasing artefacts. I'll just have to get the CX-5M going again if I can. A tipped lightbulb melted the mini music keyboard but I should be able to trigger it via MIDI ...
@madFame4 жыл бұрын
Yeah that's interesting, I can't actually recall a time when Robert Moog and FM were ever mentioned in the same sentence. Did Dr. Moog ever do any work with digital synthesis or consider digital synthesis? That question has never occurred to me until now, but I bet Marc Doty would know the answer to that. That's really interesting to hear about the subtle characteristics of your CX5M, I've never heard one in person before. I know that the various FM chips do have very distinct sonic identities, some more than others.

@@madFame Sounds Like: From what I remember the CX5M FM chip in the SFG-01 and SFG-05 FM Voicing Unit is the same as or very similar to that of the DX-9. BTW the SFG=01/05 is a box that is slotted into the underside of the computer and attached to the motherboard via an edge connector. Mine originally had the SFG-01 but I bought the SFG-05 later then adapted a 'regular' MSX computer to run the older unit, It just needed a bit of etched PCB to act as a double edge connecter.

Very interesting to learn about the surround of the DX7 , as I'm to mix in one box my DX 7, My Tx7, and a computer for programming, I've also a DX 21, not after touch capable. As I see it's not new, just a return to origins. In fact the Dx series were made to have a programming computer. I have sysex files collection for the Dx 6op and 4op, and old computers able for programming software made for that, so it was fine to have done this video, pointing the origins of those original sounds, and I think FM is complementary to analogs, and long waving sounds particularly are very more originals than actual modular in analogics, so I will explore that way to use synthesis soon then i will finish the set up of my keyboard, wich will include other analog features , for modular complements, I will think about when the FM setup will work. The box will be with nut wood on the front panel which will allow me to redesign it like early DX trails, but the computer will be vertical and separately made. Lot of work before playing.

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.
