FM SYNTHESIS!
By using two simple waveforms — one, as the audible 'carrier' whose frequency is modulated by the other (our LFO) — we can create harmonic or inharmonic tones using very rapid vibrato, based on the frequencies of these waveforms and the depth of the modulation.

FM synthesis was first discovered in the 1960’s by an ex-GI turned artist, John Chowning, who was initially scorned by his academic composer peers for his desire to make music with an //inhumane//computer. The speed by which a computer can modulate a waveform created new sounds beyond the capabilities of acoustic and analog instruments: the birth of a new sound! ✨

We can thank FM synthesis for the sounds of the 1980’s w the popularization of the Yamaha DX7 which allowed FM synthesis to infiltrate video games, movie soundtracks, and of course the power ballads! (Take My Breath Away! Take On Me!)
