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:
“Historians will have to face the fact that natural selection determined the evolution of cultures in the same manner as it did that of species.”
—Konrad Lorenz (1903–1989)
“As a natural process, of the same character as the development of a tree from its seed, or of a fowl from its egg, evolution excludes creation and all other kinds of supernatural intervention.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“It is in this impossibility of attaining to a synthesis of the inner life and the outward that the inferiority of the biographer to the novelist lies. The biographer quite clearly sees Peel, say, seated on his bench while his opponents overwhelm him with perhaps undeserved censure. He sees him motionless, miserable, his head bent on his breast. He asks himself: “What is he thinking?” and he knows nothing.”
—Andre Maurois (1885–1967)
