DX Story
The DX Story is a German language book that tells the story about the famous Yamaha FM Synthesizer generation of the eighties.
About the book:
Frequency Modulation as the magic formula for the sound of the 80s. With just three letters, the Japanese instrument manufacturer Yamaha makes music history in the early 80s: The DX7 is launched. A keyboard instrument with a completely new sound aesthetic.
The magic word is FM Synthesis, invented by Dr. John M. Chowning at Stanford University in California. This book tells the exciting story of the DX7, from the very beginning. How the inventor discovered FM synthesis rather by chance, researched it and was initially rebuffed by the industry. And then finally finds a competent partner in Yamaha. Together they tinker and develop, many prototypes are necessary, until finally the original DX7 is constructed.
This changes the modern music landscape practically overnight, because the typical FM sounds are the trademark of many successful productions of the 80s.
