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:
“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)
“The more specific idea of evolution now reached is—a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
“It is not easy to construct by mere scientific synthesis a foolproof system which will lead our children in a desired direction and avoid an undesirable one. Obviously, good can come only from a continuing interplay between that which we, as students, are gradually learning and that which we believe in, as people.”
—Erik H. Erikson (20th century)
