The above is a walkthrough of a Stanford CCRMA open house from Thursday the 16th by supporing member SynthAddict. Take a look at what he walks into when he enters the building. A Yamaha GS1 with working voice programmer. The GS1 was the first commercial FM synthesizer released in 1980, three years prior to the DX7. John Chowning, discoverer of FM synthesis performed that night. According to SynthAddict: "The Chowning curated show last night was very eye opening - so much cool electronic music even going back to the 60s and it was digital."
And below :) "Today I got a shot of the Yamaha power synth stack in the lobby, with the best baseball cap on top. 😀"

Update: looks like the stream was here: https://ccrma.stanford.edu/live/. It's not working for me at the moment, but feel free to check and comment if it works for you.
So this was a live stream, and the video gets marginal as the phone loses data bandwidth inside the very solid CCRMA building.
ReplyDeleteSynthAddict said he would record some offline video and upload, but it's not up on his channel yet.
Hey Jason, SynthAddict here. I should have the edited tour from day one posted on my channel by Mon or Tue - thanks for asking. I’ve been out and about since them with no time to edit. By the time I got there on day 2 the demos were over and they were prepping for Chowning’s evening presentation. That was streamed on the Stanford CCRMA website.
