AES Fall Online Convention

The Heyser Memorial Lecture at the 151st Fall 2021 online show will be presented as the second of a two-part Heyser series by John Chowning.
 
In this lecture, "Frequency Modulation Sound Synthesis," Dr. Chowning will present the follow-up to his October 2020 introductory Heyser Lecture, "Realizing a Dream, a Discovery, and Lissajous Figures."

Dr. Chowning will explain why the YAMAHA DX7 became the "face" of FM Synthesis (FM), the circumstances of FM's unlikely discovery, and an important technical detail regarding reflected sidebands around 0Hz. He will then demonstrate a powerful synthesis concept, spectral modeling, using FM. Finally, he will present the theory of a composition that found a perfect complement in FM theory and could only be realized by FM synthesis.
