Evolution of FM Synthesis
The DX7 family remains popular to the present day, as does the innovative FM technology it pioneered. Since the introduction of the DX7, FM synthesis continues to distinguish itself for is its ability to create unique new sounds, rather than emulate existing instruments. The evolution of FM synthesis continues in modern devices, which commonly employ additional synth engines, more waveforms than the DX7's basic sine wave, and advanced filtering.

Famous quotes containing the words evolution of, evolution and/or synthesis:
“Like Freud, Jung believes that the human mind contains archaic remnants, residues of the long history and evolution of mankind. In the unconscious, primordial “universally human images” lie dormant. Those primordial images are the most ancient, universal and “deep” thoughts of mankind. Since they embody feelings as much as thought, they are properly “thought feelings.” Where Freud postulates a mass psyche, Jung postulates a collective psyche.”
—Patrick Mullahy (b. 1912)
“What we think of as our sensitivity is only the higher evolution of terror in a poor dumb beast. We suffer for nothing. Our own death wish is our only real tragedy.”
—Mario Puzo (b. 1920)
“Our art is the finest, the noblest, the most suggestive, for it is the synthesis of all the arts. Sculpture, painting, literature, elocution, architecture, and music are its natural tools. But while it needs all of those artistic manifestations in order to be its whole self, it asks of its priest or priestess one indispensable virtue: “faith.””
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
